Recall of PH officials from Canada.

MANILA - The Philippines' decision to recall its representatives to Canada is a warning that diplomatic ties between the 2 nations may end over heaps of trash a private Canadian firm had illegally sent to Manila some 5 years ago.

This after Canada missed a May 15 deadline to retrieve the garbage from the Philippines.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said the Philippines would maintain a diminished diplomatic presence in Canada "until its garbage is ship-bound there."


"The fact alone that Secretary Locsin has recalled our diplomats there (Canada) shows that we are not only serious, but we're warning them that we're gonna sever diplomatic relations with them," Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo said in a press briefing.

To me,that rubbish is free fuel to generate cheap power.
Only thing missing is a big modern incinerator and generators hooked up to the grid.

I wonder what those running the Phils are hoping to achieve by this.

Dumb and Dumber.

Fairly smelly after five years in hot shipping containers.
No wonder it caused a diplomatic stink.

All pinoys I personally know in Canada apply for citizenship as soon as they are able,i wouldn't worry about them,they have real good standards of living,i was at a birthday party last year in a six bedroom detached house in Ottawa,the people who owned it had came from nothing in the PI.

I got Canadian friends here that are going back home to no jobs..
They want to throw that justin Trudeau twot under a train..

Trudeau aint very popular,got to agree with that.

Just seen on RT Duterte saying the PI will declare war on Canada and take them down all this over nappy-gate

The guy has got a screw loose.

What good is this nonsense doing for those who elected him ?

Lets just hope his thuggish daughter doesn't follow him into presidency and create yet another filipino "political dynasty".

She will run to be next President and she will win..Like it or not.

I've met her several times when we lived in Davao. She certainly takes a stand against criminals and those who take advantage of the more vulnerable in society and she doesn't tolerate corrupt officials or idiots but she's definitely not thuggish. I think she scrubs-up quite nicely:

​

Thuggish as in her tattoos and the way she waded into that copper throwing punches like a street fighter,i met her as well,and her old man.

Thuggish That isn't the first time she has thrown a punch at a guy I suspect.

What that Al Jazeera report does not mention is that the Sheriff had been bribed to clear the shanties' residents two hours before the agreed time. Mayor Duterte brokered the agreement between the developers who owned the site on which the shanties stood and the shanty residents themselves. The Sheriff had disobeyed a direct instruction from the Mayor's office not to move-in until the appointed hour and when she arrived she hit him out of frustration. The Sheriff did file a case for assault against her but this was not pursued by the City Prosecutor and she was reported to the Ombudsman who also exonerated her.

She ?

Yup, the President's daughter, Sara, who was then and is now the Mayor of Davao.

Whatever the context of the al Jazeera report it backs up my thuggish comment,ladylike she isn't.
