Taiwan
Protesters hold placards and gesture as they hold a rally in front of the building housing the Taiwan Economic and Cultural office (TECO), in the financial district of Manila on May 22, 2013, appealing to the Taiwanese government to ensure the safety and job security of Filipino workers in the territory due to a diplomatic spat after a fatal shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman by Philippine coast guard personnel on May 9, which the coastguard said the fishing vessel had intruded into Philippine waters and tried to ram their own patrol boat. Taiwan imposed sanctions against the Philippines, banning the entry of any more workers, recalling its de facto envoy and holding a military exercise in waters near the northern Philippines last week.
