Third-party probe into PH affairs is ‘objectionable interference’ – PalaceMalacañang said yesterday the government did not invite the United Nations (UN) or anybody to look into its affairs. “The Philippines has not extended any invitation to anybody, nor the UN, to look into its national affairs. The Palace official stressed the drug problem in the country is being addressed responsibly by Philippine authorities and the so-called investigations by third parties are “objectionable interference in the household affairs” of the nation.
