ban against Manila, which has taken its toll in the country\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternally, we already had several inter-agency meetings and we are trying to map out concrete steps that we could take to basically convince China that we are taking measures and that we are guaranteeing and ensuring the safety and protection of their nationals,\u201d DFA spokesman Assistant Secretary Charles Jose told reporters in a briefing Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Jose, however, declined to elaborate the concrete steps they are taking adding that they will reveal it \u201cin due course as things develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now we can\u2019t say until these things have actually happened,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Following several kidnapping incidents and threats of attacking Chinese businesses and diplomatic posts, China encouraged its nationals to prefer not to travel to the Philippines early this September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven that the safety situation in the Philippines is deteriorating, the consular service of the foreign ministry is asking Chinese nationals not to travel to the Philippines for the time being,\u201d China\u2019s security advisory posted on their Ministry of Foreign Affairs website said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy periactin online <a
