The idea of the region is an important
facet of our country’s archipelagic state.

The region not only points to Filipino’s
physical place of origin; it also define
one’s linguistic, historical, and
indigenous background.
View
In spite of the negative implications of
“regionalism” in history (being associated
with divisiveness or exclusion), the concept
of the region is a building block that helps in
articulating Filipino nationhood and identity.

At some point, we have to begin looking at

an Ilocano population) The Filipino People Map

It shows that while a vast area of the country
was effectively Christianized, a good number of
concentrated locales remains indigenous (mostly

region or as belonging to a particular geographic
grouping) compels some of our kababayans to move from
one locality to another- usually, the city, giving rise to rapid
urbanization and subsequent debasement of the locality.

the detriment of the regions where opportunities
and investments are often scarce.

Literature participates in making sense of this
peculiar Filipino experience by dramatizing how
this nation-region dynamic is imagined and
internalized.
