Sen Risa Hontiveros took to the streets of New York on Monday to join the Filipino community as they got ready to mark 125 years of Philippine independence, which is actually on June 12. | BPinlacINQ
“In that context, red-tagging and vilification and such have no place. We should not do this to our fellow Filipinos, not even through fake news and disinformation,” she told reporters.
Hontiveros further pressed for any state to “never be guilty of such crimes because the state is undoubtedly more powerful than any individual.” “We take our most important lessons from people on the ground. Those who have organized, educated, and mobilized all these decades, more than a century — 125 years ago. So we just have to keep going, learning our lessons, fighting harder, smarter, and better every time. Win more.”
