The local community rallied in support of Filipino-American Cesar Echano, who became the latest Asian hate crime victim in Los Angeles, California.

Spearheaded by Fil-Am Cerritos City Councilman Frank Aurelio Yokoyama, over a hundred residents, dozens of elected officials, and several community organizations from the Southern California, South Bay and Orange County region came out to show support for Echano.

As his black eye healed, this past weekend he hit the park trail once again, this time with the community walking along side him. The incident, first reported by Balitang America, has now snowballed into a stand for solidarity against Asian hate. From March 2020 thru March 2021, #STOPAAPI hate has recorded over 6,000 incidents throughout the county, and nearly half of the incidents have taken place in California.

The suspect remains at large while the Los Angeles Sheriffs department is continuing its investigation. Echano has described his attacker as a white male of slim build in his early to mid-20s.
