The process of making something Filipino in character, culture, or administration, or converting it to Filipino ownership and control.
From 'Filipina/Filipino' plus '-ization' (a suffix meaning 'the process of becoming'), used to describe cultural and political transformation.
After Spanish and American rule, the Philippines deliberately 'filipinized' their government, schools, and businesses to reclaim their own identity—it's a powerful example of decolonization in action.
