“Loyalty is a virtue”.

I first of all want to thank all of the netizens across the world who have supported me in this controversy. You have honestly been my strength and my inspiration during this past week. I cannot repay you for your love and kindness.

And this brings me to the subject of loyalty. I have always believed that loyalty is a core virtue. Something to aspire to. To applaud.

My dear friend and mentor James Michael Lafferty spoke with Gretchen Ho several days ago and confirmed I have several offers from other nations to compete under their flag. This is a fact. It is also true I have been approached several years ago already by other nations, floating lucrative pay packages to compete for their flag.

Mr. Lafferty and I always agreed loyalty matters. I therefore said “no” several years ago. I love my country. I am proud to compete for the flag of the Philippines. I get chills every time I hear our anthem played and to watch that flag rise high. Every time I step on the podium I force myself not to cry, kasi papangit sabay baka maging meme pa like MJ. From my athletes ego, I take pride and joy to win and win even when I’m not “supposed” to be the victor. I will never abandon my nation because of money. That’s not loyalty. At least not how I define it.

Even now, in this current crisis, I have no desire to change nations. I see these statements on social media and active encouragement to switch allegiances. But this is not who I am and why I do this. I want to win for Philippines and show the world what we can do. I want to win for us.

I have realized I may at some point have no option. I cannot accept to be accused of false allegations and have my reputation smeared. I know I may at some point be forced into choices I don’t want to make. It seems to be happening a lot lately like defending myself in a rushed presscon. But my goal is focused on winning gold medals for my nation, my country, my flag—The Philippines.

Speaking of loyalty, this is the foundation of my strong defense of these allegations. When one values loyalty, one cannot comprehend how my own “mother organization” turned on me, never consulted with me, never asked me any questions, never gave me the benefit of the doubt. That’s not loyalty. Again, at least not how I define it.

I am fighting to bring honor and glory for my country. Others fight for ego, or power. But that’s not me. I fight for higher principles. Loyalty is a virtue. And loyalty still matters.

Maraming salamat po.

EJ Obiena’s latest statement on rift with PATAFA

21/11/2021

World Record Alert! 🚨🚨🚨

Ugandan Olympic medallist takes one second off Kibiwott Kandie's previous mark in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.

21/11/2021

Nakakagalit! Nakakapanghinayang! 😡

EJ Obiena is a once in a generation Filipino athlete. Why won’t our own federation support him? Sinisiraan pa. EJ has brought nothing but pride and honor to our country, tapos ito isusukli nila? No wonder lumilipat mga world class athletes natin sa ibang bansa (e.g. Wesley So). I won’t be surprised if EJ follows suit.

Sana maayos nila ito. Sobrang sayang. :(

The first half pace (and the weather) was too hot to break any records. 🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿

Distance-running great Kenenisa Bekele finished third, 62 seconds behind Adola, after a blistering first-half pace.

NEW ASIAN RECORD (5.93m)! 🏆🥇

Congratulations, Ernest Obiena - EJ Obiena! 🙌

Obiena bested a 23-year-old Asian record set by Kazakhstan's Igor Potapovich when Obiena cleared 5.92m in 1998.

A quick recovery run in my new recovery shoe. The 361° Performance Running Shoes in Egret/Purple (can’t find anywhere the name/model). Soft, bouncy, and pretty, but oh so heavy! Good for short, easy runs, not so on faster and longer runs. 🏃⚒️
