Disrupting the Hypersexualized and Domestic Filipina Image

Wed, 04/02/2008 - 03:21
In efforts to change the sexualized and docile Filipina image online generated by dating sites that perpetuate a narrow understanding of who the modern Filpina is, Filipina Images in conjunction with Wikipilipinas (a one-stop collective of everything Filipino) ran a writing contest that explored the image of the filipina and the role of bloggers in uplifting the filipina image online. This was a very important important contest for the Filipino community. It's message and efforts to educate the public and alter the perception of Filipinas everywhere is invaluable. 1st prize: The Filipina Doctor: Coming Full Circle by Dr. Claire Francisco 2nd prize: The Evolving Beauty of a Modern Filipina by Eddie Oguing 3rd prize: The Cyber Feminization of Poverty: Mail-Order Brides and the Image of the Filipina by Genevieve Ruth Villamin
