Justice Secretary Leila de Lima on May 16 said the Taiwanese government could not just send investigators to the Philippines for the killing of a Taiwanese fisherman last week. De Lima said that Taiwan has to go through “proper channels” and make an “official request” to the Manila Economic and Cultural Office before conducting any investigation in the Philippines. A team of 30 investigators from Taiwan arrived in Manila on May 16 to conduct an investigation over the killing of a 65-year-old fisherman in Philippine waters. De Lima explained that without any request from Taiwan, it would be the government’s “obligation” to investigate the killing. De Lima said it would be “impossible” to conduct a joint investigation with Taiwan as the Philippines “is a sovereign country” with its own processes and justice system.
