anthonytt Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Today, November 8, 2013, Hong Kong lawmakers have voted to deny Filipinos' visa-free access to their country. Days prior, Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying warned that sanctions may be imposed on the Philippines "if Manila will not apologize and grant compensation for a hostage tragedy in 2010", according to Reuters. Some sources are saying this has already been implemented some say not yet. I looked all around the HK Immigration site but couldn't find anything on this. I wanted to take my wife's little brother to HK Disney in a couple of months and HK was going to be the place where we would do our BB runs. They want an apology and this is how they handle it? :,( Babies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert k Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 And reparations. Never forget the money connections. The rescue attempt was horribly botched but I figure if you travel internationally you place yourself in the hands of other nations law enforcement for protection, or you go it alone. :tiphat: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brock Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 According to my daughter inlaw, The Philippine government has offered £5000 pounds, Which Hongkong has refused, Saying they want more. Because their lives are worth more because they have a greater salary and the cost of living is much more than a Filipino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
