PART 1: ORIGIN STORY
From 1986 to 2016,
the worldview of the yellow forces in our country dominated the thinking and
actions of most Filipinos.
Yellowism or dilawan
ideology is a system of moral, political and economic beliefs with normative
prescriptions and modalities for regulating and regenerating Philippine
society.
It provided a
narrative, around which the life of the nation was structured.
A whole new
generation of young Filipinos has been brought up with this belief system.
In 2016, an
epoch-making shift took place with the election of Pres. Rody Duterte. To many,
this marked the end of the yellow orthodoxy.
In this episode of
The Cusp, I’m gonna try to explain what happened. What led to the rise and
collapse of the yellow doctrine and the ongoing search for something to replace
it.
