Hidilyn Diaz: From accusations of anti-government plot to historic Olympic gold
It included members of opposition political parties, celebrities and journalists, including the outspoken Duterte critic Maria Ressa, joint-winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
"People were messaging me on social media, saying bad things and bashing me, but I didn't even know what was happening. I don't know what's going on and they were bashing me about something that isn't even true. "When I talked to our sports psychologist I would feel like crying and would tell them how I was feeling. They just said take it day by day. Control the things I can control because I can't control anything else."President Duterte asked Diaz to "let bygones be bygones" on her return from Tokyo 2020
When she returned home from Japan with her country's first Olympic gold, she was congratulated by the same president she had been accused of plotting against. When Duterte spoke with her, he did not explicitly mention the accusation. But he did encourage Diaz to "let bygones be bygones". Diaz admits nothing could have prepared her, or her fiancé and coach Naranjo, for how their lives would change.
