TAIPEI, Taiwan -- President Ma Ying-jeou said yesterday that the administration is eager to restore its ties with the Philippines.

The President made the comment during an interview with Bloomberg News.

The administration leveled several punitive measures against Manila in May, after the latter failed to comply with Taiwan's demands in response to the incident in which local fisherman Hung Shih-cheng was killed by Philippine coastguardsmen while operating in overlapping waters.

The punitive measures, totaling 11, included a freeze on visa applications by Philippine nationals seeking employment in Taiwan.

Taiwan and the Philippines launched a cooperative probe into the case, the president said, adding that Taiwan's investigative report was completed more than a month ago.

The Philippines' National Bureau of Investigation compiled its report and submitted it to President Benigno Aquino, while Justice Secretary Leila de Lima recommended that criminal charges be filed against the coastguardsmen involved in the case. The Philippine president, however, has yet to approve the report.

In his interview with Bloomberg News, Ma said, “We are now looking for a response from the Philippines so that both sides can release their investigation results, which will move us even closer ... We hope the process will not be a long one.”

A complete reversal of altitude is very puzzling......perhaps some stern words from Uncle Sam?
 
just the carrot before the stick for the report of which this despicable pinoy government is chickening out of the release.

what is the reason for the holding up of the release of the report?
 
Becareful how media will twist the words...
 
Hahaha see? they can't live without filipino workers and those workers have find work someplace else New Zealand is one No way just steal more resources to hell with taiwan they should just suck up to Imperial China to their fellow Imperialist
 
Ma is really a spineless coward.

Ma is a man without principles, he will say anything for an appaluse. Fortunately for him, taiwanese voters all seem to suffer ADHD to a certain extent.
 
Wow an commie imperial making fun of nationalist imperial so long for han unity for taking over the world :omghaha:

Its Chinese mainland who is a coward. They dare not fight against US to take back TW, so now, China's territory Taiwan belong to US and TW dogs now only r used to bite cowardly China, not biting US's friends:pop:

It is expected since both were US allies
Phil is US's friend but TW is US's dog
 
Philippines is the only colony of US in history. I do not think their friendship is real. At least, their positions are not equal.



HistoryWired: A few of our favorite things

Things changed now, if Philippines dont like US, they can join with Vn-Russia to harm US, but TW cant coz no one wanna help her.

So US must respect Philippines if they dont want more enemy in Asia.

Taiwan is a partner. It is an important military customer.

U can call dog or slave as partner if u want, but u cant change the fact that the partner cant stop the deal when unsatisfied (like Phil can force US military base out of her territory ) but dog or slave cant kick its boss out (like TW coz she will die without US's protection)

Philippines inherit US‘s political or maybe legislation system, so they can only rely on US.

First, Taiwan's military strength and expenditure both surpassed Philippines far away, from this point, TW is an important customer of US. As for Philippines, we all know her military strength....Just an old little patrol boat with 50 years old does not even mean Philippines is an arms customer of US.

Second, I won't comment so much on TW, but from a mainlander, I have to say, we never take TW as an enemy, at least from the bottom of heart, neither could there be a war between China and TW. I do not think TW faces such severe threat. Her only enemy is Philippines. Now relying on China mainland's huge market and language advantage, TW has benefited a lot from China. China with a rapidly economic growth would be an important market of TW, without China's business friendly bureaucracy and privileges specified for TW businessmen, TW's economy will be stucked into an adverse situation. The current situation is that TW depend more on China and TW has a growing trade surplus every year towards China, which means they are making money. China can provide more economic opportunities for TW than US can. TW will have a sustainable growth without US.
