White Wedding

Let’s be honest. We’re a halo halo nation in large part because of the interracial relationships that have been taking place since precolonial times. Yes, love is love is love, but people consciously or subconsciously still make assumptions about class, race and the power dynamics in a relationship when they see a white man with a Filipina, especially if she conforms to a stereotype that some have called “island souvenir.” So what’s love got to do with it? We flip white love, white worship, white weddings and mestizo children with award-winning broadcast journalist Mark Litke and former PR & communications maven Tippin Coscolluela who’ve lived and worked all over the world in the decades they’ve been together.
