DOT: Manila-Phnom Penh flights to boost tourism

DOT: Manila-Phnom Penh flights to boost tourism | philstar.com
Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo wants direct flights to the Cambodian capital from the Philippines. There are flights to Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia known for the Angkor Wat temple complex, from the Philippines but none to and from Phnom Penh.
"If we have a direct flight, I'm sure tourist arrivals of Cambodian people to the Philippines would increase," Teo said in a press briefing in Cambodia on Thursday.
According to Teo, only 2,000 to 3,000 Cambodians visit the Philippines a year while around 70,000 Filipinos visit Cambodia yearly.

Satellite photos show China weapons in South China Sea | philstar.com
China appears to have constructed point-defense capabilities at each of its outposts in seven of the Manila-claimed islands on the Spratly (Kalayaan) Islands in the South China Sea.

Washington-based CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) reported that China has built large anti-aircraft guns and probable close-in weapons systems (CIWS) in the Spratly Islands.

USA reagieren auf Dutertes Eingeständnis vom Morden
Die USA haben den Philippinen ein großes Hilfspaket verweigert, nachdem Präsident Rodrigo Duterte eingeräumt hatte, mutmaßliche Kriminelle in seiner Zeit als Bürgermeister persönlich umgebracht zu haben.......
Die philippinische Senatorin Leila da Lima hatte zuvor erklärt, nach dem Eingeständnis des philippinischen Präsidenten könne ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren eingeleitet werden.

Bei Erfolg heisst der nächste dann MARCOS. Is es nicht geil.
Wenn man einen Gauner hängt kommt der nächst schlimmere dran, und amnestiert vermutlich den Vorgänger.

D out of control again: Duterte to US over aid issue: ‘Bye-bye America’

Duterte to US over aid issue: ‘Bye-bye America’ | INQUIRER.net
President Rodrigo Duterte threatened Saturday to terminate a pact that allows US troops to visit the Philippines, saying “bye-bye America” as he reacted with rage to what he thought was a US decision to scrap a major aid package over human rights concerns.

A US government aid agency, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, said earlier in the week that its board deferred a vote on a renewal of the development assistance package for the Philippines “subject to a further review of concerns around rule of law and civil liberties.”

The agency has clearly not voted to scrap or approve the aid package, but Duterte unleashed an expletives-laden tirade upon his arrival in his southern hometown of Davao after back-to-back visits to Cambodia and Singapore.

PH behindert Untersuchung der Menschenrechtsbeauftragten der UN: UN expert urges Duterte gov’t to ‘reconsider’ demands

UN expert urges Duterte gov’t to ‘reconsider’ demands | INQUIRER.net
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings has called on the Duterte administration to lift conditions it had posed on her planned fact-finding mission on the spate of drug-related deaths in the Philippines, which she had rejected as it could breach established protocol of the UN Human Rights Council.

In a statement issued in Geneva, the world body’s special rapporteur on summary killings Agnes Callamard decried President Rodrigo Duterte’s demand for a public debate, saying such a public discussion of investigated cases could violate the dignity of individuals involved.

China rüstet die Inseln/Atolle in der South China Sea mittlerweile militärisch hoch, nachdem diese im letzten Jahr befestigt, mit Flughäfen etc. versehen wurden. Die internationale Rechtsprechung wird komplett ignoriert und Duterte will nichts machen (ganz entgegen seinen Reden vor der Wahl), weil China Kredite verspricht:

Duterte says he'll set aside sea feud ruling against China

Duterte says he'll set aside sea feud ruling against China | Headlines, News, The Philippine Star | philstar.com
The Philippine president said Saturday he would "set aside" a ruling by an international arbitration tribunal that invalidated Beijing's claims to most of the busy South China Sea, because he doesn't want to impose on China.

President Rodrigo Duterte made the remarks when asked in a news conference if a US think tank report that China apparently installed anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons on its new artificial islands in the disputed waters would affect his perception of Beijing. The Philippines claims the reefs that were turned by China into man-made islands.

"In the play of politics, now, I will set aside the arbitral ruling. I will not impose anything on China," Duterte said.

Streit um Unterwassergerät: China gibt US-Drohne zurück

Nach Angaben des Pentagons hatte das US-Militär das unbemannte Fahrzeug im Zuge von "Routine-Operationen" im Südchinesischen Meer nahe den Philippinen zum Sammeln von ozeanographischen Daten eingesetzt. Das Forschungsschiff "USNS Bowditch" wollte die Drohne gerade bergen, als die Besatzung eines chinesischen Marineschiffes eingriff und die Drohne beschlagnahmte.
