PH bans ‘rude’ foreign journalists

The Philippines said Saturday it had banned certain foreign journalists from the country over an incident last year, when President Benigno Aquino 3rd was taunted by a group of Hong Kong reporters during a visit to Indonesia.

The immigration bureau said the journalists, whom it did not name, were blacklisted on the recommendation of the intelligence services over “acts committed against the president during a summit in Bali, Indonesia”.
