THE United States has cancelled scheduled visits of three military ships to the Philippines, where a US marine has been charged with killing a Filipino transgender woman, officials say.
THREE US military vessels were supposed to arrive at Subic Bay Freeport in Olongapo City, 80 kilometres north of Manila, this month, according to Charles Jose, spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs.
But the department was recently informed of the cancellation of the port calls, he added.Jose said the cancellation was not related to the murder case against US Private First Class Joseph Pemberton, who is accused of killing transgender woman Jeffrey Laude, also know as Jennifer, on October 11 in a motel in Olongapo City."The reconsideration of visits is a normal occurrence as US ships are deployed in many areas of the Pacific and subject to changing operational requirements," he said."We don't see the ongoing case to be a reason."Pemberton is currently detained inside the Philippine military headquarters in Manila, but the victim's family and activist groups have demanded his transfer to a police detention centre.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
