Malacañang rejected Chinese
newspaper’s demanding for Philippine government to issue public apology for
President Aquino’s "serial attacks" on China and spate
of crimes targeting the Chinese citizens in the country.
"We don't comment on editorial. I
do not think it is proper for them to put a political spin. It happens every day,"
Edwin Lacierda the presidential spokesman told on a news briefing.
China’s state—owned newspaper demanding
public apology from the Philippine government following confirmed reports that Chinese
citizen was shot in Bulacan, aside from the two earlier kidnapping cases.
“Are we Filipinos focusing or
targeting Chinese? Of course not,” Lacierda said, who speak fluent Mandarin
and Fookienese. “Everybody knows that these things happen, not just in our country, but in
other countries.”
“I think we are one of the most,
if not the most, friendly country with respect to our Chinese brethren, the
Filipino-Chinese brethren,” Lacierda declared. “We have not seen any
discrimination.”
