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)

Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles and former President Gloria Arroyo, photo  compiled from Facebook and  ABS-CBN News Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that she does not fail to acknowledge that former President Gloria Arroyo had her misdeeds, but she just might be what is needed in the Congress. This remark was shared via a Facebook post which was subsequent to Arroyo's recent jump from Pampanga 2nd district representative to Speaker of the House of Representatives this Monday. Arroyo, who was previously  detained for her alleged graft and corruption during her presidency, rose to the position just moments before President Rodrigo Duterte's State of the Nation Address, replacing Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez. "Lets just call it what it is and not make any heroes or martyrs out of flawed (possibly criminal) politicians. GMA as Speaker is political expediency. Speaker Alvarez, while good at passing the president's legislation, was hampered by bad relations ...

Marcos family gives contradictory statements about Bongbong Marcos COVID-19 test result

Tila magkakaiba ang pahayag ng mga kapamilya ni Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr ., 62,  tungkol  sa COVID-19 test result nito. Base sa lumabas na pahayag ni Bongbong mismo kahapon, March 26, nagpa-test na ang dating senador ngunit hindi pa niya nakukuha ang resulta. Sabi ni Bongbong: "As my sister said, a few days ago I was feeling a little under the weather and as a result went to get checked. We are still waiting for the results." Pero sa hiwalay na statement ng misis niyang si Atty. Liza Araneta Marcos, lumabas na raw ang resulta ng COVID-19 test ni Bongbong. Negatibo raw ito. Ayon pa kay Atty. Liza, hindi lang si Bongbong ang nagpa-COVID-19 test, kundi pati silang pamilya at ang buong staff nila, at lahat sila ay negatibo. Maliban dito, isang araw lang ay nakuha na raw nila ang resulta.
