Palace to Taiwan: Don’t harass Pinoys

MALACAÑANG appealed to the Taiwanese people to treat Filipinos staying in that country decently in the midst of new tensions due to the killing of a Taiwanese fisherman off Batanes last week.

Some Filipinos working in Taiwan have expressed concerns of harassment by some Taiwanese despite the Philippines’s appeal to spare them in the recent diplomatic row.

“Naniniwala kami na ito pong naiuulat na ginagawa ng iilang mga Taiwanese ay isolated incidents lamang. Hindi ito kagagawan ng sambayanang Taiwan,” Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a press conference in Malacañang on Thursday.

“Naniniwala kami at nirerespeto namin ang ating mga kaibigan na nasa Taiwan. But let me also again appeal to them, to the Taiwanese people, to refrain from hurting or making our Filipino compatriots there as instrument of their anger,” he added.

As the host for Filipinos in Taiwan, Lacierda said the Palace expects that they will be treated decently as Filipinos treat Taiwanese well here in the Philippines.

There are about 42,000 Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan, according to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration.

The labor department said it hasn’t received any reports of Filipinos losing their jobs in Taiwan adding such cases will be handled first by the Manila Economic and Cultural Office.

The justice department said the National Bureau of Investigation would determine what happened in the Philippine-Taiwan border and find out if anyone could be held accountable for the death of the Taiwanese fisherman.
