On August 4, Rappler brought together one Filipino from every continent in a special Rappler Hangout to launch #BalikBayan, a project that aims to harness and engage Filipinos all over the world to collectively rediscover and redefine Filipino identity. Among those who joined were Rica Facundo from Singapore, a global assistant brand manager for Pond’s in Unilever Singapore; Daniel Rupinta from San Jose, Costa Rica, a senior vice president of Citibank Service Center, Latin America; Rachelle Peraz Ocampo from New York City, president of United Pilipinos for Progress (UniPro) and a health educator; and Bajeng Cruz from Durban Area, South Africa, a Marketing Manager at Unilever South Africa. How different are Filipinos away from their homeland from those who are left behind? What’s it like for Filipinos who have started a new life abroad? What has changed? What stays the same?
