It’s not surprising that China, after giving in to the request of President Aquino to spare the three Filipinos in the death row for drug trafficking, has decided to push through with the execution.
Chinese Ambassador Liu Jianchao said in a press conference the death sentence on Ramon Credo, Sally Ordinario-Villanueva and Elizabeth Batain “will be carried out sooner or later, and everything will be done in accordance with Chinese laws.”
The date of the execution will be announced by the Supreme Court of Justice in China,” Liu said.
In Malacañang, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said “we would still try to appeal.”
Was Lacierda serious or was he saying this just for PR purposes? They should stop giving false hope to the public, especially the family.
