MANILA, Philippines?Obtaining an apology from Japan for exploiting Filipino comfort women during World War II will be one of the tasks assigned to the next ambassador to be posted in Tokyo, President Benigno Aquino has said.
In an interview with foreign correspondents in Malacañang on Tuesday, Aquino said he would also ask Congress to authorize the executive branch to use public funds to compensate the victims of sexual abuse by the Japanese Imperial Army.
?As far as asking for apologies at this point in time, diplomacy has to have a lot of legwork done with it and we are in the process of culminating the appointment of a new ambassador to Japan and that will be one of his tasks upon assumption of office,? Aquino said.
