Prasertsri Kosin, a Thai national who uses the name “Koko Narak” on Facebook is facing deportation after posting racist remaks against Filipinos. Koko called Filipinos “pignoys,” “stupid creatures,” “low-class slum slaves” and “useless race in this world” on his Facebook page.
Koko was fired from his work at Cognizant Philippines and is now facing deporation because of his derogatory remarks.
Here is the Facebook post of Koko:
Cognizant Philippines already terminated the services of Koko and issued the following statement on Facebook:
“Following contentious remarks made by Kosin Prasertsri on social media, Cognizant Technology Solutions Philippines, Inc. has taken disciplinary action against him and terminated his services with effect from May 4, 2015. He has been turned over to the Bureau of Immigration.
We continue to cooperate with the Bureau of Immigration, Embassy of Thailand, Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and will provide all possible support to help resolve the matter.
We take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment to the highest standards of diversity, inclusivity, transparency, and corporate governance. Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention. We look forward to your continued support.”
