MAY 2026 voguephilippines “Catholicism and Colonialism are tied together. Rocero has been reaching toward Philippine pre-colonial culture ever since she liberated herself from the internalized shame. She discovered and immediately recognized the gender-fluidity of the Babaylan, spiritual leaders who played an important role in their communities as healers and ritual specialists.
