中国驻菲律宾使馆发言人季凌鹏对菲防长特奥多罗声明的回应
问：菲律宾防长特奥多罗发表声明并接受采访，攻击中国外交部发言人相关表态为虚假信息，继续指称三佳钢厂中国工人在菲从事违法活动，并称中国使馆官员介入菲执法行动。请问中国使馆有何评论？
Q: Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro issued a statement and gave an interview, attacking the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson's remarks as disinformation. He continued to allege that Chinese workers at the Sanjia Steel Plant were engaged in illegal activities in the Philippines, and claimed that officials from the Chinese Embassy had actively intervened in local law enforcement processes. What is the Chinese Embassy's comment?
答：特奥多罗有关言论毫无根据、歪曲事实、颠倒黑白。
首先 ，今年5月，特奥多罗指挥军队冲到三佳钢厂抓捕手无寸铁的中国工人，他到底是防长还是警察局长？为什么要插手执法行动？出于什么目的？这是他的工作职责吗？
A: Secretary Teodoro's remarks are completely unfounded. They distort the facts and turn black into white.
First, in May this year, Teodoro instructed AFP to join the raid into the Sanjia Steel Corporation and arrest unarmed Chinese workers. Is Teodoro a national defense chief or a police chief? Why did he have a hand in the law enforcement operation? What is he up to? Is that part of his portfolio?
其次 ，如果工厂违反环保等法律，为什么抓工人，而不是相关负责人？为什么只抓中国工人，却当场释放所有菲律宾工人？为什么还要用军机把中国工人押到马尼拉关押？
Second, if the plant violated environmental or other laws, why were the workers arrested instead of the people in charge? Why were only the Chinese workers arrested, while all the Filipino workers were released on the spot? Why were the Chinese workers even transported to Manila for detention by a military aircraft?
第三 ，据中国工人告，该厂所有工人平日上班时，只穿正常劳动服装，从未穿过防护服。突袭当天，一群执法人员让3名中国工人穿上防护服摆拍，事后大肆炒作说中国工人日常穿防护服，菲律宾工人却不穿。这不是污蔑构陷又是什么？
Third, according to the Chinese workers, employees at the plant only wore regular occupational protective workwear while on duty and had never worn personal protective equipment (PPE). On the day of the raid, a group of law enforcement personnel made three Chinese workers put on PPE and pose for photographs on site, and subsequently made a great deal of publicity out of that. They also claimed that only Chinese workers wear PPE in daily operation but Philippine workers don't. Isn't this framing and fishing expedition?
第四 ，被关押的70名中国工人，每13人被关在一间5平米的牢房，觉都没法睡。菲方未按双边协议向中方进行领事通报和安排领事探视，这是正常执法行动吗？
Fourth, the 70 detained Chinese workers were crammed into 5-square-meter cells. With an average of 13 people in such small space, sleep was impossible. The Philippine side also failed to make consular notification to the Chinese side or arrange consular visits in accordance with the bilateral consular agreement. Are these arrangements normal?
第五 ，中国使馆第一时间向菲方提供了所有中国工人护照、签证合法齐备的信息资料。为什么菲方既不反馈，也不放人？为什么32天后所有人才被释放？菲方到底要达到什么目的？
Fifth, the Chinese Embassy immediately provided the Philippine side with copies of passports and valid work visa or permit of all the Chinese workers. Why did the Philippine side neither provide any feedback nor release the workers? Why were they kept in detention for up to 32 days? What were they after?
第六 ，特奥多罗说，70名中国工人被抓时身上没有护照，他认为工厂在贩卖人口。这是菲律宾法律界定的人口贩卖行为吗？所有外国工人在菲律宾工厂上班都要每天随身携带护照吗？
Sixth, Teodoro said that there are no documents regarding the status of the Chinese workers when they are arrested and for him "it's a telltale sign of human trafficking". Does this meet the legal definition of human trafficking under Philippine law? Are all foreign workers employed at factories in the Philippines required to carry their passports at all times?
第七 ，外国公民是否违法犯罪，是由防长说了算吗？菲司法部门5月28日决议说得非常清楚，针对70名中国工人的指控证据不足，应予释放。特奥多罗直到现在还在污蔑他们在菲从事违法活动，他尊重司法吗？
Seventh, who possesses the legal authority to determine law violations in the Philippines? The Defense Secretary or the judicial authorities? On May 28, the Philippine national prosecution authorities resolves the complaints against the Chinese workers. The resolution said in clear terms that all complaints of violation should be referred for further investigation and all 70 Chinese nationals are ordered to be released unless being detained for any other lawful causes. Yet Teodoro continues to accuse them of engaging in illegal activities in the Philippines. Does he respect the rule of law and the decisions of the judiciary?
中方完全尊重菲司法主权和相关执法部门依法办案，外国公民在菲违法犯罪，如果证据确凿，该抓就抓，该判就判。外国公民在中国违法犯罪也一样。但我们坚决反对针对中国公民搞选择性、歧视性、运动式、政治化执法。
We fully respect the Philippines' judicial sovereignty and the lawful handling of cases by its relevant law-enforcement authorities. If solid evidence proves a foreign national in violation of Philippine law, he or she shall be brought to justice in accordance with the law. The same is true in China. However, we firmly oppose any discriminatory or selective law enforcement campaigns targeting Chinese nationals by the Philippine side out of political considerations.
特奥多罗说中国使馆介入菲执法程序。对外交有点基本常识的人都知道，一国使馆最基本的职责就是保护本国公民的安全和合法权益不受侵犯。不论中国公民因何原因被拘捕，中国使馆都有权利有责任进行领事探视和保护，同相关执法部门进行沟通和交涉，确保中国公民受到人道主义和公平公正对待。
Teodoro claimed that the Chinese Embassy officials actively intervened in local law enforcement processes. Anyone with a basic understanding of diplomacy knows that a fundamental responsibility of an embassy is to protect the safety and legitimate rights and interests of its nationals from infringement. Regardless of the reason a Chinese national is detained, the Chinese Embassy has the right and responsibility to conduct consular visits, provide consular protection, make demarches to relevant Philippine law-enforcement authorities to ensure humane, fair and just treatment of detained Chinese nationals.
特奥多罗最近疯狂进行各种反华活动，其真实目的就是要把中菲关系搞坏搞乱，把菲律宾推到与中国对抗的最前沿，让两国关系紧张、冲突不断，以服务其不可告人的政治私利。如果让他的图谋得逞，损害的将是两国和两国人民的根本利益。
Teodoro has recently spared no effort to stage anti-China activities. His real purpose is to destabilize and sabotage China-Philippines relations, pushing the Philippines to the forefront of confrontation with China, and create continued tensions and conflicts, all to serve his own ulterior political agenda. If his scheme succeeds, it will be the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples that suffer.
