Abstract
This article presents an intellectual history of the University of British Columbia Philippine Studies Series (PSS), a network of scholars and students working on the Philippines and the Filipino/a/x diaspora, that sought to build community, foster dialogue, and establish solidarities through lectures, art exhibits, and forums from 2011 to 2021. Drawing from the critical conversations among three authors, the article explores how the PSS was shaped by both its scholarly commitments to the Philippines and its diaspora, and its ethical and political orientation toward doing this work on unceded Indigenous land. The article traces the development of the PSS’s thinking on what it means to do academic, advocatory, and artistic work within a settler colonial context through three major PSS projects: the three-part exhibition series Mahal; Kapwa: Sensing Ourselves in One Another, a Philippine Indigenous arts festival; and Padasal Para Sa Mga Patay (Prayer for the Departed), a performance reimagining the Catholic prayer-novena. By situating the PSS within broader debates on migration, decolonization, and the politics of knowledge production, the article reflects on the risks, contradictions, and possibilities of building Filipino/a/x studies in British Columbia as an ongoing decolonial practice of accountability, relationship, and care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
