Press statement of Sen. Legarda on uproar over
HK writer's 'racism' vs Pinoys

Having apologized for his lack of better judgment in writing the offending article on Filipinos, I think we should show Mr. Tsip Chao that we, Filipinos, are a forgiving and understanding people.

We have already expressed the point that we would not take sitting down any racial slur director towards us. Nonetheless, we should also be cautious so as not to be perceived as a nation of overly sensitive people.

To me, accepting Mr. Chao's apology would show how wrong he was on his estimation of Filipinos.
