The Philippines will use the upcoming joint commission meeting with Malaysia to further raise the issue of Filipinos serving death sentences in the foreign land as it attempts to repatriate them to the country
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said during a post-state visit briefing in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, July 27, that he was able to bring up the case of 56 Filipinos included in Malaysia's death row.
"This is something that we are going to convene after a long time, it's been a while but the issues of, for example, the transfer of Filipinos back to the Philippines is now being attended to by our KL Embassy. And I think that we have a good working relationship when it comes to that," he added. The effort to repatriate these Filipinos would "essentially" mean they will be brought to the Philippines to serve their sentence, Marcos said. He, however, did not elaborate on how the government would do it amid Malaysian laws being applied to the nationals.
