The next group to present was R.O.D. They covered Chapter 11 of Brown Skins, White Minds. R.O.D had taught the class about decolonization which is claiming independence from the colonizer or to release the status of a colony, in other words being the exact opposite of colonization. Starting off the lecture, they began with an activity with the class in which they had us form into our barangays. Within our barangays, we had to draw what others expect Filipinos to look like on one half and on the other half we had to draw what or how we seen ourselves or others as Filipinos. Towards the end of their presentation, they had shared their own experience for how they used to look at other Filipinos in a negative way but then realizing they were talking about their own people and how that was wrong. This image is a representation of decolonization. When being colonized, you are letting those change who you are so your true identity ceases to exist. But when you resist, therefore acting upon decolonization, you are making your presence known for who you truly are. By: Anjanette Magpantay
