MANILA -- Chinese Ambassador Zhao Jianhua said Beijing will punish those responsible for the sinking of a Filipino boat in the West Philippine Sea if proven that they were Chinese nationals.
"If it were true that it was Chinese fishing boat which did it, they would be duly educated and punished for their irresponsible behavior," the envoy said in a text message to Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo.
"Incidents happen even in the best-regulated family. We hope this incident could be held in a proper context," he added.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Thursday confirmed that the Philippine government has filed a diplomatic protest to China on the boat incident near the Reed Bank.
Initial reports from the Western Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines said "a certain Chinese vessel accidentally collided with a Filipino fishing boat on June 9, 2019 at around 12 midnight" while it was anchored near the Reed Bank in the West Philippine Sea. The Chinese vessel immediately left the scene, abandoning the 22 Filipino crewmen.
Zhao said the incident is being "thoroughly and seriously investigated," adding that Beijing "shares (the Philippines') concerns" about the fishermen. (PNA)

Bongbong slams Leni’s ‘brazenness’

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., defeated candidate for vice president, hit the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday for claiming victory in his poll protest against her even as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is yet to resolve the matter. “We are appalled once more by the brazenness of Mrs. Robredo and her Liberal Party in claiming victory in my still ongoing election protest just as the tribunal announced that no action has been taken by the court on the Caguioa report,” Marcos said in a statement. The former senator was referring to the report of Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa on the recount of votes that was submitted to the tribunal for deliberation. Photo from The Manila Times Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka announced on Tuesday that the manual recount in 5,415 voting precincts of three test provinces was already finished. Marcos, who lost the race to Robredo in the 2016 elections, has identif...

Motibo ng COMELEC para kunin si SolGen Calida bilang abogado nito sa Poll Protest ni BBM

(Photos ctto) Balak ng Comelec na kunin si Solicitor General Jose Calida bilang abogado nito upang maghain ng komento sa apela ni Robredo na gamitin ang 25% vote shading threshold.  Duda ang isang PET insider sa motibo ng Comelec sa pagkuha kay SolGen Calida dahil siya ay kilalang supporter ni BBM. Si Calida ay kasapi ng AlDub o Alyansang Duterte-Bongbong at aktibong kinampanya si BBM. Humingi ang Office of the Solicitor General ng palugit sa PET upang makapaghain ng komento alinsunod sa kautusan nito. Pero ang hininging palugit ay indefinite o walang nakatakdang araw kung hanggang kailan ito.  Nagtataka ang nasabing PET insider kung bakit mahigit isang buwan na ang lumipas ay hindi pa naghain ng komento ang Comelec sa isyu ng vote shading threshold. Humingi pa nga ng palugit. Samantalang ang post-election Comelec Resolution pabor kay Robredo ay inilabas agad nila sa loob ng isang buwan lamang matapos silang utusan ng PET.  Ayon sa Manila Times, tatl...
