The Philippines rejects Taiwan's claims that the Philippine Coast Guard deliberately killed a Taiwanese fisherman near Batanes last week.
Taiwan has called the incident – “cold-blooded murder” but Manila insists, the Coast Guard acted in self-defense and that the shooting happened in Philippine waters not in Taiwanese territory as Taiwan alleges.
Malacanang is now calling on both sides to avoid making statements that could just escalate the tensions.
Taiwan, on the other hand, says the Philippines has so far failed to show sincerity in apologizing for the fisherman's death.
