中新社马尼拉9月12日电 (记者 张明)菲律宾外交部12日表示，菲方会采取适当和必要保护措施，确保中国驻菲大使馆和在菲中国公民安全。
菲律宾警方近日证实，有犯罪团伙计划袭击中国使馆、中资机构和菲商场等公共设施。鉴于菲律宾安全形势恶化，中国外交部领事司11日发布“安全提醒”，提醒中国公民近期暂勿前往菲律宾；在菲中国公民和机构提高风险意识，加强安全防范。“如遇紧急情况，请及时报警并联系中国驻菲使领馆寻求协助。”
菲律宾外交部发言人查尔斯·何塞12日在一则声明中就此回应称，菲方愿重申，菲外交部已再度向中国驻菲大使馆保证，菲方会采取适当和必要的保护措施，防范威胁并防止任何暴力事件发生。
菲警方9月1日在马尼拉国际机场抓获3名计划发动袭击的嫌犯。菲外交部发言人查尔斯·何塞称，菲有关部门正在彻查与这些嫌犯有关联的团伙。
中国驻菲大使馆此前曾表示，已向菲外交部提出紧急交涉，并与菲警察部门保持着密切沟通，督促菲方尽快、详细调查有关案件情况，并采取有力措施保护好中国驻菲大使馆和在菲中国公民的安全。菲方承诺将彻查此案，向中方提供最新进展情况，并将确保中国驻菲大使馆及人员安全。
记者留意到，菲律宾官方主办的菲新社12日在一则报道中把中方向中国公民发布的“安全提醒”直接解读成针对菲律宾的“旅行禁令”。菲国一些旅游业人士在接受中新社记者采访时也坦言忧心菲旅游业会因此受到冲击。
马尼拉一家长期接待中国团体游客旅行社的女经理透露，从今年6月份开始，她所在旅行社接待的中国团体游客数量就已大幅下降，“退了差不多50%”，“以前每年6、7、8月都是旺季，但是今年这几个月都成了淡季”。她分析称，这是由政治问题、治安问题等很多原因造成，另外媒体报道中关于菲律宾的负面信息很多，造成一些原先预定来菲的中国游客临时改道去了别国，“不敢来菲律宾”。(完)
Philippine Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said last week that the bomb plot may be linked to a fringe politician who had been involved in a string of anti-Chinese protests.
However, the Philippine military dismissed the alleged bomb plot, calling the fringe politician a crank who posed no real danger and saying his “bombs” were merely firecrackers.
Police arrested him but then quickly released him.
Diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines have been extremely tense in recent years due to a dispute over competing territorial claims in the South China Sea.
In response to the travel warning, the Philippine foreign ministry released a statement saying it had been liaising with Chinese diplomats to ease their concerns.
Many foreign governments warn their nationals to avoid large parts of the southern Philippines due to the threats of kidnapping. However, there are no blanket advisories similar to China’s to avoid the entire country.
