Abstract

This paper provides a multispecies narrative of the Philippine experience as a Christianized archipelago. Multispecies studies are still absent in local scholarship regarding the textual, ethnological, and even anthropological understanding of our pre-colonial and colonial experience. I conclude that the multispecies spectrum (partly drawing from feminist studies) of understanding the historical and geographical transformations of the archipelago as a post-colonized nation offers a path of decolonizing the distributive logic of the globalization of the guilt of the West. All this amid the new planetary predicament ushered in by the Anthropocene.
