I am proud of my brave heart and of my mother who gave me Filipino blood.'In the comment section, the 31-year-old karateka, who won silver at the 50 kg kumite event on Saturday, said more will be hurt by the netizen's comments.'If we allow him with kindness, more people will continue to be hurt by shallow actions like his.
