“We wanted to ask the ambassador if they could authorize the release to the public of evidence which should end all speculations on what really happened in Phnom Penh as a matter of courtesy to our Cambodian friends”
MANILA, Philippines - After failing to get an “indisposed” Cambodian ambassador to personally explain yesterday his accusation of “dirty politics” in the Philippines’ stand on the West Philippine Sea issue with China, the Department of Foreign Affairs said it will continue to summon the envoy “until he is able to come to the DFA.”
“We summoned the ambassador but he remains indisposed. We hope he will come when he is no longer indisposed,” DFA spokesperson Raul Hernandez said, referring to Cambodian Ambassador Hos Sereythonh.
The ambassador was originally summoned to appear at the DFA on Monday to receive a note verbale and explain his accusation, but he begged off for health reasons. Instead, Hos sent Cambodian embassy Second Secretary Tan Chandaravuth to represent him.
Hernandez said the DFA, through Undersecretary Erlinda Basilio, handed the note verbale to Tan.
Hernandez said they also want Hos to authorize the release of all records of what transpired during the recent 45th ministerial meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Phnom Penh to disprove his accusation that the Philippines and Vietnam engaged in “dirty politics” in pressing for their “inflexible and non-negotiable” position on the inclusion of the West Philippine Sea issue in the conference’s agenda.
Hos raised his accusations in his letter to The STAR.
Cambodia had opposed the two countries’ proposal that the grouping come out with a joint communiqué on the West Philippine Sea issue.
“We wanted to ask the ambassador if they could authorize the release to the public of evidence which should end all speculations on what really happened in Phnom Penh as a matter of courtesy to our Cambodian friends,” Hernandez said.
“We hope to receive a reply. For now he is indisposed but we will keep on summoning him until he is able to come to the DFA,” he said.
He emphasized that unlike Hos, Basilio was present in all the meetings in Phnom Penh.
“We try to find out what exactly is the meaning of this statement because these are rather strong accusations that we are playing dirty politics,” he added.
When asked if the ambassador could be declared persona non grata, Hernandez said: “We are not going there yet.”
What is important is for him to explain to us what he meant by the statement that he released or wrote in that letter-to-the-editor in The Philippine STAR.”
The DFA defended Basilio from Hos’ accusation that she had tried to manipulate, distort and exaggerate developments in the West Philippine Sea involving China in order to make her case.
Hos had also claimed that Basilio’s article “What happened in Phnom Penh?” represented the country’s official position.
Basilio, Hernandez said, is “a professional diplomat with an unblemished record of nearly 50 years of service to the country.”
“Her statements were objective, factual and true. More importantly, Undersecretary Basilio was present in all the meetings in Phnom Penh. The Cambodian ambassador was not,” he said.
Cambodia, which hosted the recent ASEAN meeting, opposed the discussion of the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal issue and its inclusion in the grouping’s joint communiqué.
The Philippines and other ASEAN members deplored the non-issuance of a joint communiqué, which was unprecedented in the regional bloc’s 45-year history.
Hernandez said that strangely, Cambodia appointed a committee, which included the Philippines and Vietnam, to form consensus on a final draft for an ASEAN stand.
“Upon a series of many negotiations, at least five final drafts achieved a consensus. Notwithstanding authority granted the committee, all final drafts were disapproved by the chair,” he said.
The DFA said “as a matter of courtesy to our Cambodian friends,” Hos would be asked to reveal where he got the information on the events he narrated in his letter, since his accounts were inconsistent with the records of the ASEAN meetings.
“We also intend to show the Cambodian ambassador why the ASEAN chair was being viewed as unduly advancing a non-ASEAN country’s interest, with a clear prejudice to positions of the Philippines and Vietnam, members of ASEAN,” Hernandez said.
Hos claimed in his letter that both the Philippines and Vietnam continued to insist from the start of the meeting until its end on July 13 to include their national bilateral disputes with China in the joint communiqué.

Why Philippines have to go this far? Cambodian ambassador has to right to say nothing! Show up and saying nothing!
If Philippines have problems with China about West Philippine Sea and how come the Philippines don't enter into bilateral talk with China! Why Philippines see Cambodia as an obstacle to solving their problem through bilateral talk with China? Philippines don't need to act tough toward Cambodia because Cambodia certainly don't have any problem with Philippines over West Philippine Sea but Philippines do have problem with China and so act tough toward China would be better in solving Philippines problem!

Your so stupid. Your reasoning with worst than a kid. The Ambassador called the Philippines dirty politics. Now they wanna know why. And now you 1:26 PM say I don`t to say anything? Maybe the Ambassador should not say anything in the first place. Freaking MORON
it is "dirty politics" if not, then why the philipines don't deal with china directly regard their problems. why trying to force cambodia to take side, cambodia do not want to take side, period, end of story. i think it is "dirt politics" as well the way the philipines is playing politics with china by getting cambodia to take their side or something. i'm sure if the philipines don't take their medication and continue on, cambodia will also call their ambassador in phnom penh to explain why the philipines seemed to want cambodia to side in their bilateral issue with china, etc. the issue here stemmed from the philipines disrespect of the chairman decision not to get involved with the south china sea issue, that shouldn't be allowed to put on the asean agenda at the meeting in the first place, you know. i wouldn't be surprised if cambodia decided to recall our ambassador back to cambodia from manila due to the philipines problem with china, etc, you know. people can say whatever here, but if they cannot come to terms with each other, i'm sure cambodia will recall its staff as well.
what is the "west philipines sea"? i never saw than name on the world map, only south china sea, really! that is really the philipines problem with china, it has nothing to do with cambodia as chair of asean, really!
Dear 4:03. You blow your cover every time you post anything you stupid ass!! Every bullshit attempt you make in sugarcoating the Cambodian government's cowardace and incompetence you reveals your true identity more....you are one of them!! It makes them crazy they don't have the brains to shut down KI Media so they hire a numbnuts like you to try to defend them. We are not as dumb as you sound....REALLY!!!
I think we should not entirely blame the ambassador. It 's not him who wrote the letter; to be blunt he is not proficient in English. Some fool ass in Phnom Penh wrote the letter and told him to give to The Philipine Star. He has to obey.
I understand the Philipines get upset with the letter, but they should take their protest to Phnom Penh instead squeezing the messenger.
Civilized country does everything through diplomacy channel because
the Embassy represent Cambodia abroad .
To 2:11 PM
Do you ever listen to yourself first before you talk mother fucker? Tell me why does it matter if the Cambodian Ambassador Hos Sereythonh said it is Philippines "dirty politics"?
Why does it matter if anybody said anything in the world? It is just a fucken opinion! It is just a fucken comment! Why does it matter if you mother fucker or anybody want to say anything because it is just a fucken opinion!
These fucken Pilipino politicians have to too much salt in their brain for them take opinion or comment by one person so seriously! These fucken Pilipino politicians need to get over it okay because it is just fucken opinion!
If these fucken Philippino politicians don't know how to deal with China through bilateral talk in solving their fucken problem and what do they want Cambodia to do for them?
This is just my fucken opinion!
That is Vietcong guerrilla technique HIT & RUN which Khmer leader learnt in
jungle . Too bad Hun Sen sent wrong person to be Khmer ambassador , he
should sent 3:57 pm to replace the runaway one .
China is not member of ASEAN
Phillippine is member of ASEAN . the 45th meeting was called ASEAN FORUM .
The ambassador must stand up to explain the world why the shoal of phillippine
and Vietnam EEZ were excluded from communique , since he has obligation to
represent government and country of Cambodia . Now , he is wading in deeper
mud as he used undiplomatic word such as " dirty politic " ....
1:26 PM
Why? Because the Philippines knew that there're someone behind designed the show. This idiot ambassador would have not said if he was not told what to say.
Did you see Hun Sen's ambassadors are educated and/or intelligent? None. They are not well educated and they are dogs.
2:11 PM
I am with you. Most Cambodians are stupid. That is why they deserve to have an uneducated communist peasant killer Hun Sen in power.
8:58 PM
Hun Sen this and Hun Sen that. Hun Sen is a gangster so he is only a dog of Vietnam.
All engineered by Vietnam to get the billion of dollars from China.
(1) To make people believe that Vietnam doe snot control Cambodia anymore.
(2) To get billion of dollars from China.
Hun Sen and his dogs attacking Vietnam is a fake game.
Viet Congs will do everything to get money from other nations. Their economy and military alive because the Viet Congs draining all juicy from Laos and Cambodia every day.
The world viewed Nguyen Tan Dung as a dynamic leader. He smiles and calm, but his gesture is so gentle. Unlike him, his puppet is a crack smoker, a trash talker and uneducated man, and his name is Hun Nal now Hun Sen.
Nguyen Tan Dung makes easy money to keep his country stable called a little south east Asian empire next to his powerful neighbor China.
-When Chinese Vice President visited last year 2011 Tan Dung ordered to add one more STAR on Chinese flag, to show the VP of China that China gains another state of Vietnam as part of one China. Tan Dung received money for just that.
-When American came and gave him a hug and kiss with million of dollars, Tan Dung organized a demonstration against China regarding the 2 islands that Pham Van Dong and Ho Chi Minh sold to China since in Vietnam War for supplies and weaposn to take South VN.
-Everyday Tan Dung ordered to collect money from Laos and Cambodia from every province and every sector in the countries.
-Hun Sen is in power because of Tan Dung keeps him there to finish business deal. Hun Sen hired more bodyguards, because he is worried he may be killed and the deputy PM for life Madame Viet Cong named Men Sam-An Vietnamese origin will be the PM of Cambodia.
This Vietnamese woman (Men Sam_An) was given a highest title of Deputy Prime Minster for life by King Sihamoni. The papers were well written by Vietnamese/CPP and carried to the Palace by CPP official members with hidden pistols to execute if the King refused.
I do not believe among these Cambodians knew about it, but it's done by Communist Vietnam.
Now Tan Dung is playing another game to fool the Philippines. It is good thing that Thailand knew Vietnamese's trillion tricks so well.
""This Vietnamese woman (Men Sam_An) was given a highest title of Deputy Prime Minster for life by King Sihamoni. The papers were well written by Vietnamese/CPP and carried to the Palace by CPP official members with hidden pistols to execute if the King refused.""
This reminds me of the history wrote by Dr. Po Dharma and Dr. Mak Phoeun, the 'First Vietnamese Military Intervention in Cambodia" after Jayajettha II died. The war lord Nguyen brought an army of a few hundred men and asked the King Ramathapadi 1st to give his step mother Ngoc Van, his Father's wife a highest title of the land, equally to the King. In that case Ngoc Van can challenge the King whatever she saw fit.
I just do not understand why in this modern high technology still Cambodia submitted herself to the same historic enemy?
So don't blame Hos for accusing Philippines, because Hos is just a poor puppet man who is told to say.
Hun Sen should lock this guy up and charged him with defamation. After all, this is Hun Sen's law.
The idiots above who claimed its only an opinion is trying to make excuses for his boss.
When come to diplomacy there is no room for opinion, especially when you put it on paper. Got that.....idiot?
12:29 AM
Hun Sen cannot lock this guy, because after all this guy was instructed to say whatever, and it's a strict order.
It look likes Hun Sen is the boss, but it is scheme engineered by Vietnamese's Hun Sen boss to soft China for money. Vietnam needs those billion of dollars to feet its army.
Your head is hot and smoked . Go dip it in toilet to cool down .!
Most filippinos are a bunch of backstabbing co-workers. their government is mcuh corrupted just like us. Who the heck are they to questioning us?
He said something stupid, now he has to hide, simple as that.
4:38 AM
Yeahh but their ex President was charged for committing crimes and jailed, but your stupid government has committed million crimes, still no charge against.
I agreed, I had same experienced. Their woman are the most unloyal partner.
4:51 AM
He said stupid because he was told by ah Yuon/CPP to say like dog.
5:06 AM
But they don't have too many prostitution houses where women/men carry AID disease like in Cambodia.
At least we are not a place for American sailors to bang and. get raped by just about everyone example Spainish, Brithish, American, Japanese, American again. Phillipinos in U.S liked to see themselves as Latino because most of them got Spainish blood in them when their grandparents were raped by Spainairs in the 1700 and 1800's.
5:13 AM
You don't know how to admit your faults. Khmer women most at country side raped by Yuon. They cannot speak up because of fear.
Not only raped by Yuon, lost all the land to Yuon. Are you Yuon? You sound like it for keep hiding.
Yeah, it is looking like round one is going to the U.S. through its client, the Phillipino; and zero to china through its client, the Cambodian.
Like, the Phillipino has indicated: they are more adept at international politics than the amateurish Cambodian, and the phillipino are playing the amateurish Cambodian like a shadow puppet....
To 8:38 PM,
I think your comments is ignorant not only to youself, but for the Cambodian as a whole.
For Cambodian as a chair, we should help solve problem for any country that have issues, instead of lashing out, that's meaning like calling your kid stupid when they start complaint.
So pls. next time be more wise before start writing your comments.
5:25 am
The US's client such as Philippines has only skillful diplomats. Cambodia is not just a puppet of Yuon, they are mostly uneducated and STUPID.
"Hos" did not do or say anything that he was instructed to do or say.
All're engineered by Yuon Hanoi to:
(1) show the world that Cambodia is not under Yuon.
(2) get money from China to feed its own army and economy as usual.
Because the facts no way Hun Sen and his members of abomination would dare to renounce or to criticize Yuon.

for your information, the philipines has a habit of wrangling with any diplomats who don't want to take their side. they did to even american diplomat like mr. joseph mussolini before he got transfer to be the american ambassador to cambodia, and now they wrangle with cambodian diplomat because they want cambodia to take their side with their problem with china. when cambodia do not want to take the philipines and vietnam/youn side, they called upon the khmer ambassador to question using all kind of lame excuses this or that, really. that's typical of "dirty politics" of the philipines and youn that like to hide behind the philipines in all of this, you know. cambodia still cannot take their side, and don't expect asean to take their side either because it aren't gonna happen, really! shame on the philipines for wanted to make trouble with cambodia, etc, really! actually cambodia don't really have problem with both china and the philipines, but the philipines wanted cambodia to take their side and asean to take their side as well. no illegal and unethical for philipines to do this. and when vietnam/youn is hiding behind the philipines in this matter, cambodia even say no way, it was because of vietnam, not so much of the philipines, if you ask me, ok! i know vietnam took khmer koh tral island, so cambodia is never fond of support anything vietnam/youn that want to fight with china. so calm down the philipines, cambodia don't hate your people and country the philipines, ok, cambodia just not fond or dislike vietnam/youn only, not the philipines, ok! get it right, ok! so stop letting vietnam/youn hide behind the philipines because when cambodia that vietnam/youn is hiding behind the philipines like this, cambodia do not want take anyone side, ok! so get educated already, ok!
Hello Mr/Mrs/Ms Viet Cong 8:47 AM
You said "...when cambodia do not want to take the philipines and vietnam/youn side,...".
FYI, Khmer puppets/CPP would never dare to renounce YUON. It was Yuon's stratagem to get billion of dollars from China to feed their army and economy by using their puppets CPP to get close to China to make China to trust Khmer/CPP.
I read the recent debate in American Chinese students' Blog, and that is what I knew. China knew it was Yuon who wrote the play. "Hos" was strictly instructed to side with China because of that.
CHINA Knew Yuon's game, I am telling you.
To 7:01 AM Dumb ass Cambodian!
Hey! I am Cambodian but not Cambodian like you and not as dumb as you!
First of all a stupid fool like you tend to forget the past and what did the Indonesian ASEAN chairman did for Cambodia in 2011 when Thailand invaded Cambodia? All the ASEAN members including Philippines sat on their lazy ass and watching Thailand used their cluster bombs on Cambodia and the ASEAN leaders watched the fireworks and the killing of Cambodian people! And Indonesia as chairman did nothing except to go along with Thailand and forced Cambodia into bilateral talk with Thailand resolve the border conflict!
Now keep in mind the conflict is between two ASEAN members! So tell me what is the different between the conflicts of other ASEAN members with China from Cambodia? I see no fucken different here! Cambodia has no right to interfere with the internal problem of other ASEAN members! Even if China is not a member of ASEAN but still it is the internal problem of individual ASEAN members with China! And why invite China to the table if China is not a member of ASEAN?
If the fucken ASEAN cannot even intervene to help Cambodia a member of ASEAN from being invaded by Thailand also a member of ASEAN and the ASEAN should stop dreaming about having Cambodia intervene in helping other ASEAN membesr from being invaded by China!
Cambodia is willing to help other ASEAN members from being invaded by China but Cambodia is willing to accept the invasion by other ASEAN members? Does this make any sense at all to you? Not only is that Cambodia being used as a scapegoat for all the fucken problems of ASEAN failure and the fucken short dick of all the ASEAN leaders!
Only a fool like you would take the fucken bullshit from ASEAN and the Philippines and Vietshit for not having their way!
To 11:49 PM,
"Cambodian still submitted herself to the histric enemy" Because the Viet puppet leaders is so corrupted, and power hunger.
The opposition parties want to change history, but this power hunger leaders and hard-core CPP supporters still declared as a legitimate government. That's what the root cause for Cambodia.
So historic enemy for Cambodian will be here for centuries to come.
To 10:21AM
Thank you for pointing that out! The old timer Cambodian leaders don't know any better except Pol Pot!
The genie is out the lamp and AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave and his Vietcong master will have a very hard time putting the genie back in the lamp!
Khmer nationalism will live forever!
Hey fucken dumb ass 10:06 AM,
What the fuck are talking about? I think you're the most dumbest person I ever met.
I'm talking about we shouldn't take side, we should be the judge just like what Indonesia did for Cambodia, that's the fact, but your dumb ass shit don't understand nothing except your own shit, stupid. Infact, nobody can help to prevent Thailand from having a clash with Cambodia, it's between countries. But as country chair, we should help find a solution like Indonesia did, but your stupid brain damage mental disorder don't understand shit. You need to get more education, and stop all the stupid comments, dumb fuck!
To 12:31PM Jackass!
"But as country chair, we should help find a solution like Indonesia did..."
=What do you mean as a chair we should help find a solution like Indonesia did? Indonesia as a chair did shit for Cambodia beside forced Cambodia to have bilateral talk with Thailand to solve the border conflict! As a fact Cambodia did help Philippines and Vietname to talk to China and what more do you want Cambodia to do as chair? If the Philippines and the Vietnam are so brave and why don't they have bilateral talk with China directly and why continue to blame Cambodia for everything?
Here are the ASEAN fundamental principles again in case you Jackass pretend not to know!
1. Mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity and national identity of all nations,
2. The right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference, subversion or coercion,
3. Non-interference in the internal affairs of one another,
4. Settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful means,
5. Renunciation of the threat or use of force, and
6. Effective cooperation among themselves.
Case closed!
Hey dumb-ass+shit 3:24
If you said Indonesia did shit, so why ah Hun sen still request for Indonesia to help solve problems again between Thai and Cambodian?
reng
So, if you dumb-ass pretent that you don't, that's mean you're Vietcong or Vietcong slave, and an evil gold digger. am I clear with you?
Khmer Rough Killa,
