entry arrow4:47 PM | Random Thoughts on Hidilyn Diaz's Win



[1] From “Oust Duterte matrix suspect” to “Congratulations, Hidilyn, the entire Filipino nation is proud of you” in two years. What a flex.

[2] Gratifying to hear the “Lupang Hinirang” while the Chinese flag flew second place.

[3] Filipino women always do the heavy lifting around here. So, go Golda Benjamin! And vote for Leni Robredo!

[4] In a sporting event like an Olympics where participation and support is heavily political, you cannot suddenly erase the political from Hidilyn Diaz’s win just for ... vibe’s sake. Hides brought it up herself in her very first post-medal ceremony interview with Gretchen Ho -- which was poetic justice since both of them were ensnared in that “matrix” kagaguhan in 2019.
