I like how at the end of the article it's says "not sure if he is a foreigner as he is identified as JR". Midway in the article it's stated that JR spoke Filipino. This "hate foreigner" sentiment is becoming stronger lately. Too bad. 

 

 

I think that was the Bossman making commentary at the end there, not part of the article.

The way we can tell he's Filipino is that he's clergy and his name is being withheld at the behest of the police superintendent.

I sometimes use google translate to convert Tagalog news stories into English. I get a different perspective.

If you search on google news the tagalog word dayuhan (foreigner/alien) articles appear in tagalog referring to foreigners. Here is an example.

Try this. Open the philstar article. cut and paste it into the google translate box, then translate it from Filipino to English. The article sort of sheds some light on why there may be hate foreigner sentiment.  The last sentence in the article sums it up. "This may be a warning to any foreigner critical to the administration or advocacy of "human rights". They can not enter the country".

 

 

 

ng isa naman ay hindi na nakapasok sa bansa, dahil pina-deport kaagad. Si Giacomo Filibeck, deputy secretary general ng Party of European Socialists (PES) ang hindi na pinayagan ng BI na makapasok sa bansa. Dumating siya sa Cebu, para dumalo sa 2-day congress ng Akbayan Party. Hindi na pinapasok dahil nakilahok na sa “illegal political activities” noong unang nasa bansa. Binatikos ng PES ang madugong kampanya laban sa iligal na droga ni President Duterte. Ayon sa Palasyo, “exercise in sovereignty” ang dahilan ng pagbawal kay Filibeck. Sa madaling salita, kung ayaw nila papasukin, ayaw.
