“Every Filipino on the planet will claim you as their shining star, even if they had nothing to do with the hours you spent at the gym with your trainer, sweating off whatever weight you might’ve needed to shed in order to be competitive at that high level; the minutes devoted to perfecting your posture to stand tall amongst the other ladies; the days given to learning how to walk properly in sky-high heels; or the one millisecond it took to come up with an answer to that US bases question.As far as our countrymen are concerned, you belong to everyone.”
