Amid the spread of anti-Korean movements in the Philippines with the hashtag (#) on social media with the word “ Cancel Korea ” posted on social media, Filipino netizens are the “ boxing hero ” of your own country. He summoned Paquiao.
According to the ‘Trend List’, which looks at global Twitter trends on the 10th, there were over 200,000 posts crushed on Twitter that day. On the 9th, the day before, more than 350,000 had been uploaded.
The incident began when Bella Porch, a famous Filipino influencer with more than 15 million followers, revealed a tattoo reminiscent of the flag of the rising sun, a symbol of Japanese imperialism. Some Korean netizens pointed this out and made a personal degrading comment, “I have not received education” and “I am ugly and short”, and the Filipino netizens who rebelled against this were encouraging a massive anti-Korean movement.
In particular, Filipinos are showing a sensitive reaction to criticism of the Philippines as a “poor country” by some Korean netizens who despise Mr. Pochi. Many have posted photos of their own boxing hero, Manny Paquiao, and are posting comments against Korea.
Paquiao, born in 1978, is an undisputed boxer with 61 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses (39 wins by KO) in 70 matches, and is being treated like a hero in the Philippines. He made his professional boxing debut at age 16 and set the record for being the first in the world to win the 8 weight class. He is considered the ‘Pride of the Philippines’ by the Filipino people, who surpassed 166 cm and became the best sports star in Asian history.
Also, the charge alone is known to exceed 20 billion won and the fortune reaches hundreds of billions of dollars. Paquiao entered politics as a member of the Philippine Parliament in 2016, with some saying he will run for president in 2022.
Filipino netizens are mass producing various memes about racial discrimination and derogatory comments from some Korean netizens who say they are ‘poor’ and ‘short’ about the Philippines. Take a picture of Paquiao and tell him: “I insult us, but Paquiao can break your face”, “Paquiao laughs when he says he has no money.” As such, this incident is interpreted to reveal the sentiment of the people who were hurt by their pride.
Apart from this, the atmosphere of love in the Philippines continues to intensify. ABS-CBN, the largest private broadcasting company in the Philippines, said: “The atmosphere of disappointment over the racist atmosphere of Koreans prevails.”
