Govt working to resolve row with HK – Palace

Malacañang on Wednesday said that the Philippine government has been working “quietly” with the Hong Kong government to find a solution to the dispute over the hostage crisis in 2010 that killed several Hong Kong tourists.

Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that both sides are consulting with each other to resolve the issues, which include the demand for an official apology from the Philippines, compensation for the affected families, prosecution of those who are deemed responsible for the unfortunate outcome, and adoption of preventive measures.
