An aesthetics of “postcolonial” difference or hybridity is a poor substitute for a politics of thoroughgoing popular-democratic transformation. What makes a real difference in the Philippine scene is the moment of recognition by the millions of powerless and disenfranchised that their society can be changed if they can organize and act in order to alter iniquitous property/power relations radically.
