00:22In the Philippines, I've never felt a threat. You've never felt a threat? I never felt a threat in the Philippines.

00:38You, you're from the media. I'm sure you've covered demonstrations in the U.P. and in some areas of bars where there were demonstrations regarding some of the Kharadas and all that in the pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
01:01So, of course, you know, there were demonstrations. They were running Israeli flags here.

01:35This is not what's happening in Europe. As I said before, I feel very much... I feel a lot of sympathy and a lot of support from the Filipinos I meet.
01:47A lot of friendships. I have a bit of my enemy here. But no, I mean, I feel very much better. So, it's very important to say that.
02:01Thank you very much.
