Do you identify as Filipino, Filipina or Filipinx? Why the different labels!? In our second episode of Breaking The Tabo, we explore the ways in which "names" have originated in Filipino history, all the way up to current times with the creation of "Filipinx." __ Breaking the Tabo: Let’s talk real sh*t is a satirical series that explores modern Filipino experiences not included in dominant discourse or mainstream media. "Breaking the Tabo" is a play on words for “breaking the taboo.” To break the taboo is to break from something that is excluded from mention. A tabo... well, Filipinos will understand. We'll be releasing a new episode every Thursday of Filipino American History Month! __ Thanks to Kumu for sponsoring this video!
