Question

The notion found in human rights creeds that the nation-state can no longer ethically be built on the erasure of ethnic difference is empowering communities in the Philippines as it is elsewhere. In the age of globalisation of ideas as well as of economic transactions, they all have access to the language, if not the practices, of universal human rights.

Sometimes these communities demand strong recognition of difference; sometimes they demand equality with the dominant cultural group of the country,

In the latter category in the Philippines, as we see in the following discussion, are gay rights groups and Chinese-Filipinos. While they may be demanding to be treated seriously as Filipinos, this demand is necessarily also one for the definition of “Filipino” or the “Filipino nation” to be broadened.

Thus, the Philippine state is left with the task of constructing a national identity that somehow observes the right to difference while also culturally reproducing the “imagined community”.
