Our rebuttal to Jeremy Monteiro in defense of the Philippine independence day celebration to be held on 8 June 2014 at Ngee Ann City:
1. Jeremy did not mention that the Singapore National Day celebration was held in Bangkok at a hotel's ballroom. This is in accordance to normal diplomatic protocol in such events should either be held indoors or within embassy compound.
You do not celebrate Singapore's National Day in the streets of New York's Fifth Avenue or London's Canary Wharf.
2. The Pilipino Independence Day Council Singapore (PIDCS) promotional poster for the event implies the Republic of Singapore is vassal state to the Philippines.
3. There is no mention that Singaporeans are welcomed to attend the event. Organizers explicitly used words such as "Our" to stress that the event is target on Filipinos in Singapore.
