{"pk":61462,"title":"The “Ideal” Female Migrant as Grateful and Uncomplaining: Gendered Colonial Ideologies, Pre-Departure Orientation Sessions, and the #ungrateful Filipina","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Filipinos have internalized colonial mindsets that equate the maintenance of “Filipino values” with adhering to gendered colonial ideologies. By using the examples of mandatory pre-departure orientation sessions (PDOS) and posts within transnational diasporic Filipino social networking sites, I show how discourses emerging from both the Philippine state \nand \nthe diasporic Filipino community extol the virtues of the “grateful” and “uncomplaining” Filipina labour migrant. Ultimately, I argue that before the Filipino transnational migrant community can begin the process of decolonization, it is important to recognize how colonial ideologies themselves are deeply gendered.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Essays","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1qq9115p","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Ethel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tungohan","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2021-03-09T09:05:40+03:00","date_accepted":"2021-03-09T09:05:40+03:00","date_published":"2021-03-09T09:09:55+03:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/alonfilipinxjournal/article/61462/galley/47426/download/"}]}
