RP respects Thai declaration of emergency in capital


MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines on Tuesday said it was respecting the declaration of a state of emergency in Thailand's city capital of Bangkok. "Thailand’s state of emergency is internal to Thailand and their people," Press Secretary Jesus Dureza said. "The (Philippine) government respects their internal procedure and they would decide within their own system, their own law and regulations," Dureza added. Earlier, Thailand Prime Minister Samak Sundrajev rendered the capital under such state after street fighting between supporters and opponents of the government left one man dead and dozens injured. - Sophia Dedace, GMANews.TV
