Congratulations, Hidilyn Diaz!

 

After almost a hundred years since the Philippines started participating in the Olympics, we won our first ever Gold

I cried with her when she realized that she won and cried more when our National Anthem was played. 

What made the win more symbolic was who she won against. 

At 4'11", she lifted weights that are twice her body mass which made her win more astounding. She brought home the message to the Filipinos that size does not matter. We may be a small country but we have a big heart and no bully or frustrating leader can douse this fire that is burning in our hearts.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
