Philippines President Responds (2013/05/13)

On a day when Philippine citizens went to the polls for midterm elections, President Benigno Aquino III spoke about the last week’s deadly shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman.

Those involved in this case have been sent to Manila, and an investigation is underway into the fisherman’s death. The Department of Foreign Affairs will handle diplomatic issues.

Aquino would not respond to Taipei’s demands for an official apology from Manila. He also said it would be best for the matter to be handled using diplomatic channels rather than the presidential office.
