China executes 2 Filipinos for drug trafficking

1st UPDATE) The DFA says the Philippines 'exhausted all measures to appeal' for the commutation of the Filipinos' sentences to life imprisonment on humanitarian grounds, but Beijing upheld their conviction
MANILA, Philippines – China executed two Filipinos who were convicted of drug trafficking, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced on Saturday, December 2.

The two, who had been on death row since their conviction in 2016, were executed via lethal injection on November 24. The DFA said the two were able to speak to their families prior to their ex*****on.

“The Department of Foreign Affairs regrets to inform the nation that two Filipino nationals were executed in China on 24 November 2023 for drug trafficking offenses, as confirmed by the Philippine Consulate General in Guangzhou,” the DFA said in a statement.

“We offer our most sincere condolences to their families and loved ones. We respect the wishes of their families for privacy, and as such are withholding the identities of the two Filipinos. The Department likewise, deferred from immediately announcing this sad development pending receipt from the Chinese side of the formal notification of their ex*****on,” it added.

According to international human rights group Amnesty International, China tops the world in terms of number of people subjected to the death penalty.

The exact number of people executed in China as capital punishment is unknown, since China considers this a state secret, according to Amnesty International.

Appeals denied
The two Filipinos were arrested in 2013 and first convicted of drug trafficking in 2016. Their cases were appealed with the High People’s Court of Guandong in 2018. A year later, the same court upheld the death penalty verdict.

The DFA said it had assisted the two Filipinos since cases were filed against them in 2013, and that Philippine authorities continuously appealed for the commutation of the death sentences.

The two Filipinos were traveling from China to another country in 2013, when they were arrested for carrying 11.872 kilograms of methamphetamine hidden in DVD players inside their luggage.

“From the time the two Filipinos were arrested in 2013, to their criminal trial, and on through their various appeals of the lower court’s judgment of conviction in 2016, the Department provided all possible assistance, including legal assistance funding, through the Philippine Consulate General in Guangzhou and the Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs,” the DFA said.

“The Government of the Republic of the Philippines further exhausted all measures available to appeal to the relevant authorities of the People’s Republic of China to commute their sentences to life imprisonment on humanitarian grounds. There were also high-level political representations in this regard,” the DFA added.

The DFA said that the Philippine government’s “repeated appeals were consistent with the laws and values of our nation, which put the highest premium on human life.”

“In the end, the Chinese government, citing their internal laws, upheld the conviction, and the Philippines must respect China’s criminal laws and legal processes,” it said.

The DFA said the government also assisted the families of the two Filipinos, including facilitating their their compassionate visit to Guangzhou through the DFA’s Assistance to Nationals Fund.

In China, there are 90 remaining death penalty cases – all but one of them drug-related. Of those cases, two have been reduced to life imprisonment, according to DFA spokesperson Teresita Daza. The rest were reduced to “fixed term” sentences.

Two other Filipino nationals are still on death row in China, with their cases on final review.

In 2011, four Filipinos were executed in different Chinese cities over drug convictions, despite Manila’s pleas.

BANGKOK — Nearly 200,000 people in Thailand have been admitted to hospital because of air pollution this week, officials have said, with Bangkok shrouded in a harmful haze.

The Thai capital, home to an estimated 11 million people and one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, has been blanketed for days by an unpleasant yellow-grey mix of vehicle fumes, industrial emissions and smoke from agricultural burning.

More than 1.3 million people have fallen sick in the kingdom since the start of the year as a result of air pollution, with nearly 200,000 admitted to hospital this week alone, according to the public health ministry.
