DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the recent tensions in Taiwan have caused delays in the delivery of balikbayan boxes for Christmas, the head of a group of cargo forwarders here said, explaining that shipping companies have had to reroute to other transshipment points for safety reasons.
Bautista further explained that there is no direct sea route from the Middle East to the Philippines. “There are transshipment points,” he said, adding that these are Singapore, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Kaohsiung in Taiwan and Hong Kong. China said the move, which precipitated saber-rattling from all sides, was a disregard to the One China diplomatic principle, and an affront to the country’s sovereignty because Taiwan is a “breakaway province.”
“Pabago-bago ang transshipment port,” she said. “Kung saan maluwag in terms of security threats, doon sila pumupunta, so apektado ang arrival date sa Pilipinas,” she said.
