Fil-Chi leader slams ‘ugly face of Sinophobia, racism’ in PH

Chinese-Filipino figure Teresita Ang See on Saturday called out what she described as a wave of Sinophobic sentiment by local politicians and media.

She cited how the Commission on Higher Education reported a significant number of Chinese students at St. Paul University in Tuguegarao “without qualifying what is significant relative to the total student population or giving context that it is the only university given authority by CHED and Bureau of Immigration to accept foreign students.”

By spreading Sinophobia, Ang See said the Philippines is allowing itself to be drawn into a “proxy war” between China and the United States.“The baseless and deliberate fanning of negative news on ‘influx of Chinese students’ serves only to exacerbate the ongoing geopolitical tensions arising from our maritime conflict with China,” she said.
