Diaz denied any involvement in that “Oust Duterte” plot and went on to win at the Tokyo Summer Olympics, giving the Philippines its first-ever Olympic gold medal.
In her interview with ANC’s “Headstart,” she shared that she has already forgiven those who accused her and bashed her for being mentioned in the said matrix.
She explained that the emotional turmoil she faced because of the issue fueled her as an athlete to do better.
The weightlifter added that having peace of mind is of great importance to her and that is why she chose to move on from that controversy.
"Sa totoo lang, after winning the gold medal, nu’ng time na ’yun, sabi ko I have to forgive all the people na binash ako, na may life threat ako. ’Yun ’yung down moment ko, pero na-realize ko na ’yun din ang nagpalakas sa akin as an athlete. Mas lalo akong naging determinado, mas lalo kong minahal ang Pilipinas.
"So thankful din ako sa kanila kasi kung wala akong ganu’n na trials, baka hindi ako maging gold medalist.
"Hindi ko kailangan ’yung sinasabi ng iba kasi alam ko ang totoo. Para sa akin, ’yun ang importante at may peace of mind ako,” Diaz said.
