Philippines lets Taiwan ultimatum lapse

MANILA, Philippines—As Taipei’s ultimatum for the Philippines to apologize
over the shooting death of a Taiwanese fisherman lapsed on Tuesday, Malacañang
opted for prudence for fear of exacerbating the situation, and said the
government’s response would be coursed through “proper channels.”

“Our position is that we would rather defer any comment. But if there is a
response, yes, there will be a response and it will be handed through the
proper channels and not through media,” Presidential spokesman Edwin
Lacierda told a press briefing.

Lacierda said late Tuesday night that the Philippines’ de facto ambassador to
Taipei, Antonio Basilio, would deliver the Philippines’ response to his
Taiwanese counterpart.

Tensions escalated between Taipei and Manila the past week over the May 9
incident in which a 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman was shot dead after the
Philippine Coast Guard fired at a Taiwanese fishing boat that it said had
strayed into Philppine waters.

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou gave the Philippines until Tuesday to respond to
its demand that the government apologize for the death of the fisherman,
prosecute the suspects and compensate the dead man’s family, or face the
consequences.

Speaking separately, Taiwan’s deputy foreign minister Joseph Shih stressed
that the Philippines has to officially apologize for the killing. Taiwan will
not accept an expression of regret instead of an apology, he said.

台灣除了「道歉」外 不會接受「遺憾」的說法

Taipei has threatened to freeze all applications of Filipino workers, recall
Taiwan’s envoy in Manila and expel the Philippine envoy in Taipei.


The incident has sparked public outrage in Taiwan, where hundreds of angry
fishermen burned Philippine flags and hurled eggs at the Manila Economic and
Cultural Office (Meco), the Philippines’ de facto embassy in Taipei.

Taiwan’s government has come under pressure from the opposition and the media
to take action.


President Aquino declined to comment on the demands by Taiwan at the weekend,
preferring to let diplomats handle the dispute. “If we comment on that (at the
presidential) level, we guarantee the issue will escalate,” he said.

我們回應 (以總統層級) 我們保證該事件會更棘手" 他說


The Taipei-based China Post reported Tuesday that Basilio, the Meco managing
director and resident representative, had returned to Manila on Monday, one day
before Ma’s deadline.

Basilio told the Taipei media that a joint investigation to be conducted by
authorities of both countries would determine the truth of the incident, the
paper reported.


Taiwan Foreign Minister David Lin said Basilio had told him that he would
discuss Taiwan’s demands with his government at a meeting scheduled Tuesday.
The Philippine government said on Sunday that Basilio had visited the family of
the fisherman and “extended condolences and apologies.”


Malacañang, Lacierda said the President had ordered an investigation of the
incident, the details of which would be “announced at the proper time.”

Lacierda said the government was willing to release a video footage of the
incident taken by the Coast Guard.
“I think that should not be a problem. It will be part of the investigation,”
he said.

He dismissed speculations that the country’s leaders had been too preoccupied
with last Monday’s elections to attend to the case.
“We are not neglecting our duties. The national elections are very, very
important for us. It will determine our governance for the next three years and
, certainly, this is very important for us. This is not, however, to deny the
fact that there is an incident that happened last May 8 and that we recognize
that particular incident and we are handling that,” he said.

國家選舉對我們極重要 這將決定下一個三年的菲律賓政府 肯定是十分重要的 然而
這不會讓我們無視 5月8日所發生的該起事件 我們知悉這是起特別事件而我們正在處理

He said the Philippines valued “people-to-people exchanges” with Taiwan.



Taiwan on Tuesday stepped up pressure on the Philippines, saying it would
conduct a naval drill in waters near the Philippines if Manila did not
officially apologize for the killing.

The defense ministry said the military was prepared to conduct an exercise in
the waters where the shooting occurred.


“We’ve prepared ourselves and staging an exercise in the Bashi Channel is one
of the military’s options. Whether or not to conduct the drill would be up to
the reaction of the Philippine government,” a defense official told AFP.

The official declined to provide details but the state Central News Agency said
the exercise would be held on Thursday and involved a Kidd-class destroyer, a
Perry-class frigate and three coast guard frigates.

A number of fighter jets would also be involved in the drill which would for
the first time target the Philippines as the enemy, it said.


The United States voiced regret over the shooting death of the Taiwanese
fisherman, but stopped short of condemning the incident.
“We regret the tragic death of a Taiwan fishing boat master during a May 9
confrontation at sea with a Philippine patrol vessel,” said US State
Department spokesperson Jen Psaki.

She told reporters the US was urging all sides to “to refrain from
provocative actions.”
“The United States has been in touch with both the Philippine government and
the Taiwan authorities regarding this incident. And we welcome the Philippine
government’s pledge to conduct a full and transparent investigation,” she
said.

美方也願意答應菲國啟動完整透明調查的請求" 她說

The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions around the region over
rival claims to the nearby South China Sea (West Philippine Sea). China, the
Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei all have competing claims to
parts of the sea.—With a report from AFP
