So, when these diaspora Filipinos, the ones with the 'cultural disconnect,' are making millions by repackaging the culture, how is that *fundamentally different* from what Tagalog Tim does? Or is it not different at all, just a different face?
Well, Tagalog Tim is my creation. So me as a Filipino, it's satire, it's dark comedy. But it is not different, or maybe it is. And that's where the gray area, the dilemma is. And these are the types of projects that I really love, is to kind of question ourselves, being a mirror to ourselves. So yeah, it's a different face, but it's my face when I put Tagalog Tim as the AI filter over me. Are there some parts of it that it is me? Yes, for sure. But I'm also playing a character as well.
