Actress and comedienne Pokwang slammed the anti-Chinese sentiment that has made a headway on social media following the confirmation of novel coronavirus’ first case in the Philippines. The virus, also called nCoV, originated in China and is a cousin of SARS . It can reportedly be transmitted through coughing, sneezing and close contact with an infected person.
Pokwang reposted an open letter apologizing to Chinese tourists and citizens in the country for the discrimination that they are experiencing, on her Instagram yesterday, Jan. 31.“MAS PINAGPAPALA ANG NAGPAPAKUMBABA PEACE [EVERYONE] ,” the comedienne commented in her post. The letter, issued by “Netizens of the Philippines,” read: “To all Chinese [tourists] or [citizens:] We apologize for the harsh words and the rejection we have made you feel.”
IBiongINQ Stay in showbiz, Madam. Did you have the same sentiments when they invaded our islands and prevented our fishermen from fishing in our waters? Please!
IBiongINQ Ok lang sana kung yung DOH natin eh maraming pondo at health program ng gobyerno eh at par sa karatig bansa like Singapore
IBiongINQ Sip sip
IBiongINQ Inventing a race crime for sympathy. Tse!
IBiongINQ eh Dios ko walang contingency plan ang government paano di magwala ang mga pinoy niyan? kahapon lang lumabas na may isang island na gagamitin para sa quarantine.
IBiongINQ Epal ka Pokwang! Wala namang anti-Chinese sentiments. Ang sinasabi ng mga tao ay for once, unahin naman ng gobyerno ang mga pinagsisilbihan nila, ang kaligtasan nila, at ang kapakanan nila! Ano gusto mo, maging kasama tayo ng China sa sakit na ito? E di itira mo sila sa inyo!
IBiongINQ Racism talaga. Im not really sure kung nagbabasa itong mga artistang ito. Walang clue sa realidad. I agree, comedian nga lang tapaga ito.
IBiongINQ We are not against Chinese per se, we are against the apparent dilly - dally of Pres Duterte which apparently was caused by his fear of “masaktan feelings ng mga Chinese. Remember, be FILIPINO first before everything else.
IBiongINQ The hate camPaign against Chinese maybe orchestrated by this admin to justify still that chinese is our friend
IBiongINQ Laos ka na nga Pokwang....
IBiongINQ No such thing as hate chinese but love pinoy more OUSTDUTERTE2020 OustDuterte
IBiongINQ Parang may script sila... ‘racism’ to counter the backlash sa nCov. Putang ina nyo! Wag kami
IBiongINQ Hay Tokwang OustDuterte OUSTDUTERTE2020
IBiongINQ Pokwang in short wants the coronavirus which started in China to spread and kill as many Filipinos as possible.
IBiongINQ Pokwang ka nga. Di mo pa rin nakikita ang ginawa nila sa Pilipinas
IBiongINQ Hindi inisip kung ano ang magiging resulta kapag kumalat ang nCov sa Pilipinas. Virus ang main issue dito nagkataon lang na sa China nagsimula. Hindi yun racism! Pag nagkakahawaan tayo sa Pilipinas, mas mahirap kasi wala tayong maayos na pampublikong ospital.
IBiongINQ Welcome them into ur house.
IBiongINQ Ilihis ang issue at pagtakoan ang kapalpakan ng Duterte admin
IBiongINQ What? This not racusm? This is about caring of life
IBiongINQ
IBiongINQ The administration and it's lackeys, DDS and Loyalists are throwing the racist card around. Idiots! Filipino lives are at stake!😠 On top of the virus, They are slowly taking our territory, infesting our cities with POGOs, prostitution, kidnapping, money laundering, drugs.
IBiongINQ Hitsura ng pokwang na ito. Umarte ka na lang sa itim na tabing wag ka na makisawsaw sa problema ng Pilipinas pwede ba WALA KA NAMAN ALAM!🤪🤪🤪
IBiongINQ Bkt hindi b ninyo alam yun mga ugok insik racist din s mga Pilipino
IBiongINQ Relevant si Pokwang Why
IBiongINQ Comedian ka nga!
IBiongINQ Its not abt being racist, its abt protecting us & the lives of our loved ones.There wouldnt have been any anti-chinese sentiment if PRRD didnt say he cares more about china’s feelings rather than us, coz it gave evry1 the impression that china has PRRD wrapd around their fingers.
IBiongINQ OustDuterte Isa ka pa, Saw saw suka! analyze mo situation, hindi discriminasyon kundi walang saysay na gobyerno sa pag address ng corona virus!
IBiongINQ OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE OUSTDUTERTE
IBiongINQ Racism? LOL It's not.
IBiongINQ Galing mo teh, kailan naging racism yan, sana kung kilala mo kung kung sinong nanggaling sa hubei prov or wuhan, sabibin mo yan, the fact na di nga natin alam, so, nadamay yung iba para iwasan to protect themselves, saan banda dyan ang racism, aber.
IBiongINQ What if it was the other way around? What if dito nagmula ang epidemic? Will CN open its doors to us? Will the rest of the world? The first world countries?
IBiongINQ I’m sorry but since President Duterte allowed China to occupied Scarborough wc is Philippines territory. Allowed Chinese to come here n work. Allowed Casinos’ resulted for more crimes ‘ prostitution’ kidnapping’ etc. n now d virus? What else next?
IBiongINQ Id rather be a Racist but Alive!!! 😏😏🙄🙄
IBiongINQ This is her chance to make it to showbiz china cguro. Ders no racism involved. If the nCoV originated from American we wud be asking to ban dem from coming too.
IBiongINQ Hashtag saw saw
IBiongINQ As far as I'm concerned wala akong nababasa Dedees lang nagpapakalat.
IBiongINQ Does it make us racist because we’re demanding a total travel ban on all passengers coming from China in order to minimize the risk of 2019-nCoV from spreading in our country? We are a 3rd world country, if that thing spreads here, our people will greatly suffer as a result.
IBiongINQ Let's protect ourselves from the virus without hating Chinese as human beings. Some politicians cannot separate the disease from the sea dispute.
IBiongINQ nadadamay lang, kasi dun applicable ngayon yung tuta tuta
IBiongINQ The “racism” bandwagon. 👏🏼
IBiongINQ Can u blame them
IBiongINQ Kasi most of the Filipinos are racist. Toxic sa lahat ng toxic, reklamador, palaasa, judgemental at feeling superior. 'Most hospitable race' my face 😅
IBiongINQ Won't work! We are programmed to hate each other.
