Why don't the Navy helicopters just fire a missile at them. They won't do it again.

JUST IN: Chinese vessel sunk Philippine fishing vessel and left 22 Poor Filipino Fishermen to swim for their lives.

As expected. A Chinese vessel collided with a Filipino fishing vessel and left them to swim for their lives in the vast ocean. They didn’t care if those Filipino fishermen have families waiting for them at home. They just left without any attempt to rescue them. Though fortunately for them, a Vietnamese vessel were nearby and rescued the fishermen.


Philippine Secretary of National Defense Lorenzana denounced the actions of the Chinese for abandoning the Filipino fishermen on-board F/B GIMVER1 following the collision near Recto Bank within the Philippines EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone).
