Filipino internet citizens expressed disappointment over circulating videos of foreign online users (youtuber) who claimed to be Koreans “disrespecting” the Philippine flag.
This is an insult to our nation and to the Philippine flag. Some Filipinos said they are unaffected because the flag showed no three stars, while the other lacked the rays of the sun.
To recall, Filipino and Korean netizens previously engaged in an online feud after Filipina-American Tiktoker sparked controversy for having an arm tattoo that showed Japan’s Rising Sun flag.
Korean netizens who said they were “hurt and offended” with the tattoo.
The Fil-Am Tiktoker later on issued an apology, vowing to have her ink removed.
However, Some Korean netizens, were allegedly not contented with the apology and wrote racial slurs on the comment section of the tiktoker's profile.
This prompted Filipinos to call out this alleged racist comments, making #CancelKorea and #ApologizetoFilipino hashtags on twitter.
Some Koreans took to twitter and apologized with the hashtag #SorrytoFilipinos.
But some just did this insult of spitting and tearing the Philippine flag.
I did not include their names and links to their videos/channel. because i want to prevent giving them further attention on their platform.
Clearly the said foreign netizens are just Attention Seekers.
Hindi siguro minahal ng mga magulang nila.
#CancelRacism
It is very unfortunate that it was only done by a few individuals and then everyone was affected. Salute to you who do not share the culture of racism.
