TAIWAN'S leader Ma Ying-jeou is strongly dissatisfied with the Philippine response to the fatal maritime shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman by a Philippine Coast Guard ship, an island spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The island has decided to immediately adopt a three-point countermeasure, including freezing the applications of Filipino laborers wishing to work on the island, the spokesperson said.
Taiwan will adopt another eight measures should the Philippines fail to meet the island's demands by 6 p.m. on Wednesday, the spokesman said.
The demands include a formal apology, an investigation into the fisherman's death, punishment for those found responsible and compensation for the death and the damage done to the fishing boat.
The shooting happened at sea 164 nautical miles southeast of Taiwan on May 9, when Philippine Coast Guard officers shot and killed 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-Cheng, according to Taiwan's coast guard authority.
