MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Consulate General in New York is calling on authorities “to do more” to ensure safety in the Big Apple after more members of the Filipino community were assaulted in the city. 

 

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Philippine Consul General Elmer Cato said two more Filipinos “have been added to the growing list of victims of the senseless violence that has left many Filipinos in fear.”

 

“The incidents in Manhattan bring to seven the number of cases involving members [of] the Filipino Community reported to or monitored by the Philippine Consulate General in New York this year,” Cato said.

"The Filipino was beaten unconscious and he was robbed of his wallet."

 

"Senseless" ??? sounds like a normal NY mugging. Why must every mugging be racist??

 

"Asian-Americans were found to account for 10.8% of the state’s total population."
