Pinay Skateboarder Claims She Was Sacked From SEA Games Roaster For Exposing Truth
PINAY SKATEBOARDER – A Filipina skateboarder was allegedly removed from the SEA Games roster for refusing to make a public apology for exposing the truth.
Arianne Mae Trinidad who goes by the name “Kiddo” revealed that she was removed from the list of SEA Games skateboarders. However, she had met the qualifications by being a national champion.
I was removed because they wanted me to make a public apology for exposing the truth on social media.
So when I declined, they removed me from the list—WITHOUT informing me, and WITHOUT ANY OFFICIAL/FORMAL LETTER.

According to a report by ABS-CBN, the 25-year-old skateboarder is one of the athletes who wrote to the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) earlier this month.
Based on a report from the Manila Times, they claimed that the Skateboarding and Roller Sports Association of the Philippines Inc. (SRSA) excluded qualified skaters for the SEA Games team.
Instead, they claimed that they were replaced with “handpicked” skateboarders. Trinidad also emphasized that she is not the only skateboarder that was sacked from the line-up.
With this, the president of the SRSA, Monty Mendigoria, told the Manila Times that they could handpick the team. He also hinted that the other athletes were difficult to work with.
However, Trinidad stood firm on her word. She claimed that the firm’s strategy was to provoke you until you end up ranting on social media. Afterward, she said that they would use that against you and claim you have a “bad attitude”.
They don’t want us on their team because we resist, we speak the truth and we fight when something is wrong and not fair.
THEY NEED PUPPETS,
NOT ATHLETES!
Our battle won’t end here. And definitely, not our dreams. If there is something that will end, I hope it’s the awful-thrash-manipulative-evil-corrupt system.
