Timbang ng Bayan: Ang Bigat ng Papel ng Kababaihang Anakpawis Ang timbang ay bigat. Ang Timbang ng Bayan ay ang bigat ng lipunan na pasan ng kababaihang anakpawis. Ang tunay na panukat ng isang bayan ay hindi ang paglago ng ekonomiya, pagtaas ng kita ng estado, o pagdami ng proyektong imprastruktura, kundi ang kalagayan ng kababaihang anakpawis na nagbubuhat ng araw-araw na buhay, sa palengke, sa mga institusyon, sa pabrika, sa sakahan, sa lansangan, sa palaisdaan, sa minahan, sa tahanan. Sa kanilang paggawa umiikot ang lipunan; Sa kanilang lakas nagpapatuloy ang produksyon; sa kanilang hindi nakikilalang pag-aalaga at paggawa nananatiling buo ang komunidad. Ang kababaihang anakpawis ay hindi lamang pundasyon ng lipunan, sila rin ang lakas na kayang magpagalaw at magbago nito. Kung may sukatan ang katarungan, makikita ito sa kung paano kinikilala, pinahahalagahan, at ipinaglalaban ang buhay at dignidad ng kababaihang anakpawis. Sila ang Timbang ng Bayan.

RESEARCH | In the Philippines, representation of gays has long been dichotomous. There is the bakla, depicted as flamboyant, effeminate, and low class; and there is the gay, depicted as more refined and masculine-acting. With the advent of digital technologies, these representations of gayness have found their way into dating apps and social media, subsequently birthing the concept of the halata. This term first rose to prominence because of gay men in dating apps declaring “pass sa halata,” marking their rejection of a potential partner because of their being too much like the bakla. I move beyond the halata’s pejorative connotation on dating apps and study how it is being conceived and defined in the Facebook Group Samahan ng mga Halata. My results indicate that while the halata can now also be used to pertain to gay men who act straight. Furthermore, the halata is inherently sexual, is fascinated with queer content, and is empowered by his co-halata in online spaces to rally against larger issues affecting him and the queer community at large. My research project constitutes the latest documentation of the shifting terms of Filipino gayness. This research is relevant especially in an age where gender and sexuality are continually displayed, defined, and depicted Author: Jethro Bryan Andrada (University of the Philippines Baguio, Department of Communication, College of Arts and Communication, University of the Philippines Baguio) Published in Plaridel: A Philippine Journal of Communication, Media, and Society Read more: https://ovpaa.up.edu.ph/.../halata-can-now-be-used-to.../ Image by Slaytina from Pexels
