N2 - Cristina Lledo Gomez reclaims the lost borders of her "self" as a native woman from the Philippines, and as a theologian -- beginning with an experience of talanoa and expressing feelings of being deleted and lost as a migrant and a woman of colour. Internalised oppression as a result of being colonised as a people certainly contributed to these feelings of erasure and negation. It was in "being seen" as a native woman by a fellow native woman, an Australian Aboriginal woman, that enabled Cristina to begin the journey of reclaiming her native self. Discovering the babaylan tradition in particular, launched her into forging the beginnings of a babayi theology using the babaylan value of kapwa. The methodology used throughout the chapter is ethnoautobiography -- an indigenous form of storytelling that restores wholeness and reconnects alienated modern selves.
