This post will serve as a more thorough parade reflection. Something that I experienced both on my way to the assembly site as well as setting up all of the props was this anxiety for the future. I say this mostly in regards to the way doxxing and misinformation on individuals who have particular opinions has become more commonplace both on online and professional platforms. Some members of the contingent wished to not be photographed, whether that be because their internships and jobs required them not to participate in political rallies and events, or because they were afraid of ending up on online articles. Those individuals wore a silver band, and the group would ensure they stayed sandwiched between people ready to cover their faces in case there were agitators or individuals of the sort. However, in the middle of our parade route, a photographer had jumped into the middle of the contingent, attempting to snap photos of the individuals covering their faces. In seconds, members of the contingent had stepped in between them, covering their faces with fans and security officials of the contingent both urging the photographer to step back. When that happened, she had immediately started to yell at the contingent, trying to bulldoze and snap photos of those within it. She was not of Filipino descent, nor was she wearing a designated press badge. That was something that stuck with me, even after the festivities were over. Who was that person? Who did they work for? Due to the contingent moving with the appropriate procedures in protecting those who didn’t want to be photographed, would they then try harder to doxx those who participated? Did they find anything provocative in the demand for justice for Filipinos unrightfully detained by ICE? Those unknowns in a single event, not only personally shook me, but made me question the lines between privacy and political advocacy, especially in a world where photos can be used in ways deemed unconstitutional.
