"The President’s defending the Filipino telecom executives who were harassed in Hawaii has nothing to do with the so-called war between US and Filipino telecom companies, which properly lies with the courts," said Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye.

Speaking over government-run Radyo ng Bayan, Bunye said that the US government owes an explanation and even an apology to our business executives because the issue has already been resolved here.
