Nagpahayag ng pagka dismaya si opposition senator Franklin
Drilon matapos i-cancel ang diplomatic passports para sa mga dating government
officials.
Ayon kay Drilon, mas mukha umanong kinakampihan pa ng
gobyerno ang China.
“I am saddened by that act because mukhang kinakampihan pa
natin ang China. I am saddened by that action,” aniya sa isang interview nitong
Lunes.
“But China is a sovereign country and has the right to
exclude anyone from its territory. That’s the prerogative of a sovereign nation
in the same manner that we have the prerogative to bar the entry of
anyone,” Dagdag pa ni Drilon
Ayon sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) kamakailan, cancel
muna lahat ang courtesy diplomatic passports, ito ay matapos ma-deny and
ma-hold sa Hong Kong ang dating Foreign Affairs Secretary na si Albert del
Rosario.
“The DFA Office of Consular Affairs (OCA) will be issuing an
order shortly, canceling all courtesy diplomatic passports, and requiring their
surrender for physical cancellation,” pahayag ng DFA nitong weekend
“The practice of issuing courtesy diplomatic passports to
former DFA Secretaries and ambassadors shall henceforth be discontinued,” dagdag
pa nito
