White Lies

What's up Conyos!

In this episode, your Conyo Sisters talk about the controversial desire for Filipinos to be "white", and we share our experiences on how we try to fit in, with our cultural environment.

Historically, it is argued that colonialism is the reason to why Filipinos aspire to be "white". On the other hand, it is argued that mainstream media in the Philippines defining beauty as someone with lighter skin, has greatly influenced the Filipino beauty standards.
