While the embassy “appreciated” the “extensive coverage” of Huang’s speech at the 8th Manila Forum for China-Philippines Relations over the weekend, it said that the envoy’s words have been taken “out of context.”
“He has no business being a diplomat if he is unable to engage with us in a respectful and dignified manner. He, along with his country’s ships and artificial islands in the West Philippine Sea, should pack up and leave,” the senator said, adding that the Philippines “will never interfere” with China’s issue with Taiwan.
“Philippines is advised to unequivocally oppose ‘Taiwan Independence’ rather than stoking the fire by offering the US access to the military bases near the Taiwan Strait if you care genuinely about the 150,000 OFWs,” the ambassador had said during the forum.
