Metro Manila, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has expressed concern on China’s supposed inaccurate security advisory for its students in the Philippines, saying it “mischaracterizes” the situation.
The Chinese Ministry of Education has urged its students to “carefully assess safety risks” before enrolling in the Philippines.
The DFA explained: “All instances of crimes, including those involving Chinese and other foreign nationals as well as those perpetrated by foreign nationals against their own, are being addressed by relevant law enforcement authorities.”
“The Philippine Government has been engaging with foreign embassies, including the Chinese Embassy, regarding these cases in good faith,” it added.
The government assured that it is committed to have a dialogue with China to tackle matters concerning both countries.
The DFA hoped China would issue corrections.
