Dear Wei Yin and Ling Tao,
My dear friends from Taiwan.
In the most recent International Young Democrat Union Council meeting, I was able to meet you, dear friends from Taiwan, as representatives of your ruling party and friend Wei Yin being spokesperson of President Ma. We both agree that there is a need to work on democracy in Asia and the principles under democracy.
We regret the unfortunate incident that happened recently with your fellow Taiwanese, a fisherman. We would not like to speculate as to the details of the incident but rest assured our Philippine Government is assuming responsibility in the investigation behind this incident.
We appeal to you and to your government, in behalf of the Centrist Democratic Youth Association of the Philippines, to please protect our Overseas Filipino Workers there, who were recently hurt by baseball bats. We both aspire for a truly functioning democracy and hope that the preservation of the human dignity of our fellow Filipinos are preserved, much as you want justice for your countryman.
We are both peace loving nations and hope that we could resolve this matter in a peaceful and non-violent manner.
This is from a friend and a Filipino who values the friendship we have built there in Tirana and an ally for democracy and freedom.
