Enzo Manzano stages solo protest outside the UN headquarters in the U.S.

Edu Manzano's son Enzo had expressed solidarity by holding a sign and stand solo for three hours outside the United Nations (UN) Headquarters in New York, USA. According to Enzo's Facebook post, it took him three days to decide if he gonna do it the protest alone.



“DUTERTE AND THE PHILIPPINE GOV’T ARE TAKING AWAY MY PEOPLE’S BASIC RIGHTS, FILIPINOS CAN’T PROTEST.. So I hope the WORLD Can see us Instead!“ The sign read. 

Holding his handwritten placards, he was able to stage a one-man peaceful protest.


“Today, I chose to stand outside the United Nations HQ for 3 hours (I have a recorded live video, on my timeline, showing the second half). It took me three days to decide I was actually going to do this. How did I arrive at this decision?" He said.

“I realized lengthy Facebook posts don't do the trick... ALSO It only makes me more angry whenever news of our government comes out in the Philippines. The feeling of being useless doesn't help either - whether it's because I'm in New York or the government keeps coming up with ways to silence us back home.

“I was never the type to protest but at this point with all that the Philippine government is doing, it's either you're fighting to keep your country alive or not. Sucks to hear that my fellow Filipinos can't protest back home.. I hope my lone protest can make up for that. At least a little bit!”

In response, the celebrity father Edu has re-posted his son's viral post with a caption "That's my boy!!!" the proud father said.
