“We would like to convey our national voice
in extending a formal apology to our seven million-strong, peace-loving Asian
brothers and sisters in Hong Kong,” said Ilocos Rep. Ronald V. Singson, calling
on his fellow solons to support his bill to settle the conflict between the
countries due to the 2010 Manila hostage crisis.
Hong Kong’s cancellation of visa-free entry
privilege of the country’s officials could have been avoided had the government
issued an apology, he said.
The Hong Kong leaders just wanted the
Philippine government to apologize, said Singson. In his privilege speech, he
asked the members of the House of Representatives to retain the good rapport
between the Philippines and Hong Kong. -- Mar T. Supnad
