Wushu superstar Agatha Wong defends her medal wins from bashers: "Pilipino ako, mahal ko ang bayan ko!'


Pinagsama samang larawan mula sa Twitter at Google

Hindi porke Chinese ang kanyang apelyido ay kaya siya nanalo, ito ang sinabi ni Wushu medalist na si Agatha Wong sa kanyang Twitter post nitong Sabado lang.

Ayon sa tinaguring Wushu superstar, Intsik man ang dala niya sa kanyang pangalan ay isa pa rin siyang Pilipina, higit sa kung anupaman.


Aniya, siya ay pinanganak sa bansang Pilipinas at mahal niya ang kanyang bayang sinilangan.

“My last name’s Chinese and yet I am a Filipina; more than anything. I was born in the Philippines, grew up in the ph and represent the Philippines wherever I go. Mahal ko ang bayan ko.” Ayon sa post ni Agatha


“So don’t tell me I’m Chinese kaya ako nanalo. Nanalo ako dahil Pilipino ako, at lalaban ako.” Dagdag pa niya

Ayon sa naging panayam ng SPIN Life kay Agatha, ibinahagi ng atleta na ang kanyang post na ito patungkol sa Filipino pride ay nag trending na at umabot sa halos 3 libong retweets.


Sinabi umano ito ni Agatha matapos sabihin ng ilang tao na “natural” lang na siya ay Manalo sa kumpetisyon ng wushu dahil isa siyang Chinese.*

"What they don't know is that I have sacrificed a lot to stay in this sport. Just because my last name is Chinese, it doesn't mean that I would have (automatically) won the games. If my last name was Fernandez (middle name), it would make no difference. I would still give my best to compete against my opponents." Pahayag ng atleta

Samantala, dahil din dito ay bumuhos ang suporta para sa wushu superstar. Narito ang ilan sa mga mensahe ng netizens mula sa Twitter.

“Ignore niyo po mga bashers online. Keep up the good work and thank you very much for representing our country.”

“I feel you Agatha..wag pansinin mga ungas na yan!!! Apir tayong mga Chinese ang last name pero Pinoy na Pinoy ang puso!!  para sa BAYAN!!!!”*


“Why should your last name be an issue when 90%+ of us have got Spanish surnames?”

“Mabuhay ka, atletang Pilipino! You are strong and beautiful. Thank you for all your efforts to excel in your sport. We are proud of you!”


“Wag nyo nga inaaway si crush! Kaya siya nanalo kasi ginalingan niya at pinaghirapan niya paghandaan yung laban.”

Nilinaw rin ni Agatha na hindi na bago sa kanya ang ganitong uri ng paninira, dahil bahagi daw ito ng kanyang tagumpay.

Ayon din sa kanya, kailangan lang niyang ipaliwanag na siya ay may dugo at pusong Pilipino.

"I just had to explain that I am a Filipino — born and raised in the Philippines, by heart and by blood. My first and second language is Filipino. Now I just hope that people will be more informed about my background." Aniya

READ: Malacañang’s statement on UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard’s PH visit

From Presidential Spokesperson Ernest Abella: “We are aware that Dr. Callamard is currently in the Philippines and we are disappointed that, in not contacting our government in advance of this visit, she has sent a clear signal that she is not interested in getting an objective perspective on the issues that are the focus of her responsibility. On September 26, 2016 we sent a letter to Dr. Callamard congratulating her on her appointment as UN Special Rapporteur and in that letter we issued an invitation for her to visit the Philippines to meet with members of our government and others to get our perspective on the drug menace confronting our country and the efforts of law enforcement and others to address that challenge within the means allowed by Philippine law. Our hope at that time was that Dr. Callamard would accept this invitation as part of a commitment to carry out her new responsibilities in a manner that was objective and fair to all perspectives on th...

Duterte: Church is its own problem

President Duterte claimed that the he was not the problem of the Catholic Church as their greatest adversary was itself. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (RICHARD MADELO / PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) In his speech during the proclamation rally of PDP-Laban in Negros Occidental, Duterte reiterated his tirades against the Catholic Church. The President noted that he was only defending himself from the criticisms against him by members of the clergy while behind the pulpit. “I have a very serious problem with the church. Hindi ako ang problema ng church, sila. Eh ganun talaga (I am not the problem of the Church. Their problem is themselves. That’s how it is),” he said. “Edukado naman tayong lahat (We are all educated here). If you want to criticize me and you are a priest or a preacher, itong pulpito na ito (this pulpit), do not use this. You have to go out because there is a separation of church and state and nobody but nobody can stop a citizen from criti...

Grace Poe gets burned by DOTr for grandstanding on MRT

Photo from Mindanation Senator Grace Poe has made a career out of sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong and leveraging issues completely unrelated to her in order to forward her agenda. Her most recent ’cause’ is the MRT-3, which she described to media as in a state of “lumalalang kondisyon”. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) however, was not in the mood to becoming the latest toy of Poe’s political career. In a statement posted to their official Facebook page, the transportation agency politely and effectively rebutted Poe’s claims and educated Poe on why her assumptions were absolutely baseless. The DOTr makes an important point – since 2016, services and operations have been improving. The statistics for unloading incidents and services interruptions were on an increasing trend until 2016, when they finally started going down. The new administration has been doing all it can to mitigate the negative consequences of the system they inherited – tra...
