TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan on Wednesday recalled its envoy to the Philippines, froze applications for work permits and ordered military exercises in waters between the two sides to press its demand for an apology for the shooting death of a Taiwanese fisherman.

Taiwan earlier had issued an ultimatum to the Philippines to apologise to the family of the fisherman who died in a shooting last week by the Philippine Coast Guard in waters off the northern Philippines.

"Due to the Philippines government's insufficient ... sincerity and its inconsistency, President Ma Ying-jeou expresses strong dissatisfaction and he cannot accept the reckless and perfunctory responses from the Philippines," the Presidential Office said in a statement.

After a high-level meeting, it added, Taiwan decided to immediately impose sanctions, including the recall of its envoy and a freeze on work permit applications.

More than 85,000 Filipinos work in Taiwan, many as domestic workers.

Further measures could also be imposed, Premier Jiang Yi-huah told reporters, including an end to visa-free access to Taiwan for Philippine nationals and stopping economic exchanges.

Separately, a Taiwan Defence Ministry official said military vessels and aircraft would be dispatched to the Bashi Channel, which divides Taiwan and the Philippines, to carry out a two-day military drill.

The Philippines and Taiwan, as well as China, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam, are embroiled in diplomatic rows over territory in the nearby South China Sea, potentially rich in oil and gas and criss-crossed by crucial shipping lanes.

The disputes have sometimes escalated to confrontation between vessels. The Philippines and Taiwan have overlapping exclusive economic zones (EEZs) in waters to the Philippines north.

A Philippines fisheries official said one of its vessels, acting under the threat of being rammed, opened fire last Thursday on a Taiwanese fishing boat about 170 nautical miles southeast of Taiwan, killing one person on board.

The Philippines has expressed sympathy over what it called an "unfortunate" incident and promised to conduct an investigation, but has stopped short of an official apology.

How very distasteful of them after the Philippines had already issued an apology.

he cannot, as yet anyway, pending results of a very thorough investigation on who was really at fault.  but taiwan gave a 72-hour deadline.  also, a thorough study is needed on the possibility that apologizing would strengthen china's claim to the same disputed areas.

i have no idea as to the extent of the sanction's possible damage (current world history shows that no sanction ever damaged any country), but who knows that it's just as well that we stop going there as domestic workers.

daghan gyod hinoon ning nuances.  the political leaders there may just be playing to their constituents.  wa ta kahibawo ug si taiwan president nanawag na sa iyang phone pal nga si pnoy pagpahibawo nga sabton lang una siya nga mopaghot kay ubos pa siyag ratings karon. 

ikaduha na man god ninyo ning gibuhat namo, 'pre, matod pa niya.  nahiubos baya mi nga sa 2011 ang mga taiwanese nga inyong gidakop didto ninyo gi-deport sa mainland china.  duha na tang bahag ug ikog basta mainland china nay mo-bully nato...

sige lang, 'pre wakang, tubag si pnoy.  pahinayhinaya lang pod mig apologize kay aron di sad mi tantong mauwawan.  gaatang baya ang imong tatay nga bully of a mainland china kay nagtoo nga once we agree to your terms aning hitaboa, tabla ra sa mo-admit mi nga di diay amo nang mga dapita sa dagat.  remember, 'pre, nga hasta kamo giangkon baya pod ni tatay bully...
