WATCH: Baste Duterte speaks out against stereotyping, discrimination

MANILA, Philippines - A FightCon was recently held on July 2 in Quezon City, and there to grace the event was the president's son, Baste Duterte.

During the event, Baste faced the crowd and gave them some inspiring message and advice about not judging people based on where they came from and how they look.

The inspiring moment was captured on a video and posted on a Facebook account owned by Baste's friend.

Baste, who admitted on previous interviews that he is not comfortable talking in front of the cameras, stood confidently in front of the big crowd and sent a loud and clear message  – do not  be judgmental and stop discrimination and stereotyping.

“Sana practisin natin na walang diskriminasyon. Alam niyo na to...walang diskriminasyon. Let's start there...Sa totoo lang andito ko ngayon dahil anak ako ng presidente ng Pilipinas, pero otherwise I would not be here. But since I am here I am going to talk about this,” he said.

Baste went on to share a story he has never told in public before. Recalling the first time he went to Manila to study, he said “akala ng mga kaklase ko, dahil taga-Mindanao ako, Muslim na ako."

"It’s not even bad to be a Muslim. Pero bakit may ganun silang idea na kapag taga-Mindanao, Muslim ka na?” he added.

Moreover, he also encouraged people not to judge people with tattoos and piercings.

“Hindi ibig sabihin...kapag may hikaw ka sa bibig at may tattoo ka sa katawan, addict ka na," Baste said with certainty.

“Ganun ba yun 'pag may tattoo ka na, may hikaw ka na, ibig sabihin adik ka o rebellious ka na? No, it’s not always ganoon. May mga adik na walang tattoo, may mga adik na walang hikaw.”

Baste ended his speech by reminding everyone that they all gathered for one cause: to say no to drugs and yes to sports.

FightCon is the first fight and conditioning convention in the Philippines.
