MANILA, Philippines - After being initially turned down, China has finally agreed to allow Vice President Jejomar Binay to visit Beijing. This is a last ditch effort to salvage the lives of three Filipino OFWs who are set to be executed due to drug trafficking in China.
The message was relayed through the Philippine Embassy in Beijing, stating China's readiness to receive vice president Binay.
The vice president will leave Friday morning at 7:15 a.m. and is set to meet up with the president of the Supreme Court and the Chinese Executive vice foreign minister on Saturday.
It may be recalled that earlier today, Binay's request was denied by China. China stated that the vice president's visit would be inappropriate at this time.
Two Filipino OFWs are set to die by lethal injection this Monday in Xiamen while another is scheduled for Tuesday in Shenzhen.
