So I continue to stand with Hong Kong, as I have more than a year ago. Not just because their fierce and fearless protest leaders stood up for me when my freedom was taken, but, more importantly, because they are standing up for the Filipino nation when they stand up against the Chinese government’s violent bullying.
I can only hope that other countries, their leaders, and their people, will stand for Hong Kong, for Taiwan, and for the Philippines.
They are coming for us. After Hong Kong. After Taiwan. Or maybe all together at the same time. They are coming after our freedom. They are coming to take away what we hold dear: our own humanity and human rights, and the life, liberty, and security of our children.
Filipinos, I call on you to stand for Hong Kong, for we all know that, very soon, the fight will come to us.
