Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ernesto Abella said the President was expected to give the assurance in case the case is raised in his meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday.
“I’m sure he will reassure them that everything that needs to be done is being done and that we will assure that justice will be done,” he said during a Palace press briefing.
“It’s not part of the agenda but if raised at all, it may be on a side basis. But it’s not part of the agenda,” he added.
