Taiwan is China itself.

Republic of China- Taiwan
Peoples Republic of China-Mainland China

even has the same stance-land-sea grabbing

hahahaha as the poster below u said lahi ra au na sila bro ayw tan awa ang pangan sa map try to research or visit the place , tan awa mga na tabang sa taiwan sa philippine i thnk naa man gani ta ka sister city

It was stated that the killing was not the intention of the coast guard, otherwise patay unta to sila tanan kung gi masinggan ang crew. The shots as stated were meant to disable the machinery of the vessel which allegedly tried to ram the BFAR boat. They were apprehended as reported anf the chase lasted for four hours which puts them deep into Philippine territory, pag na dakpan ni action man ug sukol. At least give our coasties some credit for doing their jobs with the equipment they have. Otherwise whats the point of our laws if we cant even enforce it.

mao pud na isa ka problem i guess kay nag tuo na gyud to sila na walay mo dakop nila cuz mao gyud na ilang anad na ma buhat, but bisag unsaon ug balik2x maximum tolerance man to gyud na mga in ana if maka dagan then pa daganon n lng, non lethal force gyud na una. Like karon tinuoray gi sampolan nato sila ug patay but at what cost sa ato a kaya gyud nato mo maintain ani na stance?

[C'thulhu]

Mao lagi, if we do no stand up now, we just sit back, relax and watch them pillage our seas...

Out of topic: This reminds me why we can't shoot down home intruders, akyat bahays and the like from robbing us blind in our homes, kay kabus lagi nanginabuhi lang...

PNOY's diplomacy has always been a blunder.

i agree sa make a stand but not KILLING to prove a point invest in non lethal way if you want to protect our seas cause bisag unsaon ug bali2x we are a third world country and di ta pwede mo kontra sa atong mga neighboring country..

[C'thulhu]

Yes it has been stated many times that the killing was not the intent. What Taiwan is now doing is taking advantage of the situation, ni sakay sa panahon, to leverage for a fishing agreement inside our territory, which is not so neighborly of them. To think na dako pud biya ta natabang nila sa una, especially the local Chinese community here na ga sige ug padala support during the 50s to 60s time.

That was a law enforcement matter, and they responded by threatening us with their armed forces especially their navy. Dili man gani na sila country as we subscribe to the one China policy. Its just sad that we have to bend over backwards again just to appease them...

And pasabot nako ang ma bawsan ana karon due to the incident atong mga OFWs karon, people will take it personally man gyud like what Americans do in relation to the Boston attacks. Ma hibong lang kalit mga pamila ani diri nganu wa na gi renew ang contracts or naay na terminate kay gi pangita.an og sayop.

Mao btw di nalang ta mamusil, warship vs fishingboat?? ma tow raman gali nila or ma board ang boat, or banga.e nalang og baws then kung ma unlod then pick up the crew then deport atleast wala na silay barko e balik pa sa lugar.

Kay kung bawsan gyud ta tinood, maka kita gyud ta sa tv si noyx2 mag kurog murag kato presidente sa georgia pag ni tinood og baws ang Russia. As for the US having a single LCS in SG, LCS = Patrol Boat =.='

I agree with you bro. Sayup man ang gihimo sa mga instik, but then again sobra ra pud ang pag pusil despite the warning shot left uneeded. Like you said naa pa lain paagi that would have had better outcomes or kumbaga lesser evil siguro. karun atong mga kababayan na hinuon ang nagkalisod.

TAIPEI-MANILA ROW: Tourism Bureau to cease promoting tours to Philippines

‘RED’:An official from the bureau said that it would no longer attend the Philippine Travel Tour Expo and that the sanctions could cost the Philippines NT$3.75 billion

Tourism Bureau Deputy Director-General Chang Hsi-tsung (張錫聰) yesterday said that the bureau would not encourage people to travel to the Philippines after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a “red” travel alert for the country.
If tourists needed to cancel trips following the adjustment in the alert level, Chang said that travel agencies would be required to refund any tour charges after deducting indispensable costs, such as visa application fees or airfares.
Chang said that the bureau had met with the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA), as well as travel agents yesterday to discuss the matter. He said that the CAA would also discuss with Taiwanese airlines the possibility of issuing fare refunds if people choose to cancel trips, including charter flights.
Although the CAA has no authority over Philippine airlines, it has asked such airlines to consider refunding customers given the circumstances.
Meanwhile, Chang said the bureau would not encourage travel agents to form tour groups heading to the Philippines, even though it cannot completely ban the practice.
Though the bureau had previously tried to attract more Philippine tourists, Chang said it would stop attending the Philippine Travel Tour Expo and suspend scouting tours it organized for Philippine travel agents for next month and July.
Last year, about 105,000 Filipinos came to Taiwan, although only about one-fifth came for tourism purposes.
On the other hand, about 211,000 Taiwanese visited the Philippines, 70 percent of whom were tourists.
The expansion of tourism sanctions on the Philippines could cost the Philippines at least NT$3.75 billion (US$125 million) in lost tourism revenue, the bureau said.
Meanwhile, the government said its decision to impose a hiring freeze on Filipino workers would cost about 3,000 Filipinos each month the opportunity to work in Taiwan.
The Council of Labor Affairs’ Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training said the measure would suspend application procedures for Filipinos and prevent Filipinos who have already received work permits from entering the country.
There are an estimated 87,000 Filipinos currently working in Taiwan in the manufacturing, construction and fishing sectors, and also as home nurses and caregivers.
About 35,000 Filipinos arrive every year to work in Taiwan.
The bureau did not expect that its hiring freeze would hurt employers because they are still able to hire workers from other countries. Currently, Taiwan allows workers from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Mongolia.
Chang Chih-yuan (張致遠), secretary-general of the Allied Association for Science Park Industries, said several companies in major industrial parks have voiced support for the government’s punitive measures against the Philippines.
Chang said that 4,200 Filipinos are currently employed in the Hsinchu Science Park, accounting for about 90 percent of its total foreign employees.
Another 3,800 Filipinos work in two other major science parks in central and southern Taiwan, he said, adding that they are primarily employed by integrated -circuit packaging and testing firms.
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc has 1,500 Filipino employees, while Siliconware Precision Industries Co has 2,000 and ChipMOS Technology Inc has between 500 and 600, comprising 15 percent of its total workforce.

The companies said the freeze on bringing Filipino workers to Taiwan was not expected to have an adverse effect on their operations in the short term, but could compromise their labor sources and increase their labor costs if it persists.
Innolux Corp and AU Optronics Corp, two of Taiwan’s largest flat panel firms, said the punitive measure will not hurt their operations because Filipino workers only represent a small fraction of their workforces.
Wu Ying-liang (吳胤良), manager of the Taishin Ta-chong Equity Fund, said that because local enterprises still can hire foreign workers from other countries, the punitive action is unlikely to be felt on the local bourse.
