Quezon City Ateneo de Manila University June, 2012 pp.153-186 tables. "This artice offers a cultural analysis of Filipino middle-class identity emerging in transnational social fields. Although the practice of identity construction of the mdidle class leads to polarization and fragmentation of society, the ambivalent character of their identity resutls in social networks and alliances with members of different social classes in the Philippines. Thsi article provides an approach to understand seemingly discrete and contrasting dual aspects--of differentiation and alliance, exclusion and inclusion, and plurality and unity--found in transnational social fields through an alternative framework of civil society and public sphere in the Philippines and other parts of the globalizing world."
