SP Migz Zubiri kumambiyo sa ‘China blacklisting statement’
Nilinaw ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri na maaring hindi diretsahang nasabi ni Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian na ‘blacklisted’ na ang Pilipinas sa China bilang ‘tourist destinations’ dahil sa mga ilegal na aktibidad na ikinakabit sa Philippine Offshore Gaming Operatorsd (POGOs).
Ginawa ni Zubiri ang paglilinaw nang magpalabas ang Chinese Embassy ng pahayag kaugnay sa nauna niyang inanunsiyo sa pagdinig ng Senate Ways and Means Committee ukol sa operasyon ng POGOs.
“During our meeting with Ambassador Huang, the tone of his statement was that the Philippine is already being watched as a tourist hotspot and have been warning their countryment of possible crimes that could happen to them due to POGO,” ani Zubiri.
Dagdag pa nito, sinang-ayuna naman aniya ito ni Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian na kasama niya sa pakikipag-pulong kay Huang gayundin si Sen. Robinhood Padilla.
“Maybe it was lost in translation and what the good Ambassador meant was we could be possibly blacklisted as he mentioned they do that to countries who promote gambling for their countrymen,” sabi pa ng senador.
Pagdidiin lang din niya, na ang salitang ‘blacklist’ ay galing mismo kay Huang.
