the country to temporarily accommodate Afghanistan refugees while their special immigration visas were still being processed.
“Not at all,” Romualdez said, when asked if PH-US relations would be affected if Manila turned down Washington’s request. Romualdez also said that it is “not fair for anyone to even think that the United States is out there to push us to do this and that.” “That’s why they are asking and following it up with us and it’s up to us what we wanna do with it and whatever concerns we have, whatever we want to tell them, they are prepared to listen and if it is something that is possible, then do it. If not, then they go to another country for this,” Romualdez earlier said.
