                    [Summary] => Former Ambassador Ernesto Maceda defended himself yesterday against accusations that he "smuggled" 25 people into the United States when he was assigned at the Philippine Embassy in Washington.


"It’s impossible," he said, referring to the allegations of sources at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) that he issued official passports to 25 people listed as his "private staff" members.


"The US Embassy would never allow it," he said. "As a matter of fact, I brought only six members of my household."

                    [Summary] => 

Nine sticks of dynamite were seized from two Chinese fishing boats after the
Navy boarded them off Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea.

Meanwhile, China warned the Philippines yesterday to stop harassing its
fishermen and that continued Navy patrols in the area is a violation of Chinese
sovereignty.

Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado said yesterday the dynamite was being used by
the Chinese to destroy the coral reef within Philippine waters.

"Setting aside the territorial dispute, what should be focused on here is
environmental protection," he said.
