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

Bongbong slams Leni’s ‘brazenness’

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., defeated candidate for vice president, hit the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday for claiming victory in his poll protest against her even as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is yet to resolve the matter. “We are appalled once more by the brazenness of Mrs. Robredo and her Liberal Party in claiming victory in my still ongoing election protest just as the tribunal announced that no action has been taken by the court on the Caguioa report,” Marcos said in a statement. The former senator was referring to the report of Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa on the recount of votes that was submitted to the tribunal for deliberation. Photo from The Manila Times Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka announced on Tuesday that the manual recount in 5,415 voting precincts of three test provinces was already finished. Marcos, who lost the race to Robredo in the 2016 elections, has identif...

Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman Richard “Dick” Gordon / Photo from Philippine Canadian Inquirer Nakuha nang makisawsaw ni Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman Richard “Dick” Gordon kaugnay sa mga umaalingawngaw na isyu ng Simbahang Katolika.
