Singaporean officials has assured the Philippines their government is taking steps to address the hate campaign on Filipinos working there.
The assurance was made by the Singapore delegation who participated in Informal Consultations on the Philippines-Singapore Action Plan (PSAP).
During the meeting, the two sides tackled labor cooperation, noting the large number of Filipinos who live and work in Singapore.
The Singapore delegation said its government does not condone negative opinions against Filipinos recently expressed by a small segment of its society, and was taking steps to address the issue, including police investigation.
The Philippines took note on this and expressed appreciation for the support extended by the Singapore government, including its support to the Bayanihan Center, which is attached to the Philippine Embassy in Singapore and provides numerous skills training opportunities to Filipino workers.
The PSAP was convened following the successful state visit to the Philippines of Singapore President Tony Tan Keng Yam last April 2.
The Philippine delegation, led by Assistant Secretary Minda Calaguian-Cruz of the Department of Foreign Affairs, met with the Singaporean delegation led by Deputy Secretary Vanu Gopala Menon from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Singapore.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with the developments in the overall implementation of the PSAP, including strengthening defense cooperation, which has seen active intelligence and education exchanges between military personnel of the two countries, as well as education cooperation, which has seen hundreds of Filipinos availing themselves of scholarships at Singapore schools, including numerous Philippine civil servants, who have attended programs at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.
Also discussed were potential cooperative activities, such as possible Singapore investments in the Philippines’ infrastructure and energy sectors, and the possible expansion of Philippine companies in Singapore.
Both sides agreed to continue existing cooperative activities, including student exchanges, exchanges of cultural artifacts and experts, and the strengthening of cooperative activities in the vocational and technical education sector, among others.
