Today’s highlighted piece from the Philippine Daily Inquirer by Carl Lorenz Cervantes explores the complexities of identity and the dangers of reducing ourselves and others to simple labels. While identities help us understand where we belong, the article reminds us that every person is a unique blend of experiences, cultures, and connections that cannot be confined to a single category.

A thoughtful reflection on belonging, diversity, self-discovery, and the importance of seeing people beyond the labels they wear.
