Abstract

This article reads Maria L.M. Fres-Felix's collection of stories featuring Filipina detective SJ Tuason, Crimetime, to explore Tuason's performance of gender-neutral toughness as a policing mechanism in Quezon City. Tuason uses toughness to expose and combat the culturally specific systems of corruption in the Philippines that contribute to antifeminist structures and violent crimes against women.
