Xinhua said the deputy head of Taiwan's fishery administration, Tsay Tzu-yaw, disclosed details of the incident. GMA News Online contacted the Philippine Navy for comment or confirmation, but no authorized officer was available as of posting time. Citing Taiwanese media reports, Xinhua said the Filipino ship dealt severe damage to the fishing boat while chasing it for an hour "after killing the fisherman" in waters 180 nautical miles southeast of the southern tip of Taiwan. — DVM/ELR, GMA News GMA News - Xinhua |

Taiwan condemns PHL attack on fishing boat, meets PCG chief May 10, 2013 4:32am Taiwan on Thursday demanded an apology from the Philippine government as it condemned the shooting of a Taiwanese fishing boat by a Philippine vessel. At least one fisherman was reported dead in the incident. A report on Taiwan's Central News Agency said Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the shooting came from an "official Philippine ship." Earlier, Beijing-based Xinhua News Agency reported on its website Xinhua.net that a Philippine Navy ship fired upon the fishing vessel in seas south of Taiwan. Quoting the foreign ministry, the CNA report identified the slain fisherman as Hung Shih-cheng, 65, adding the shooting occurred Thursday morning. It said the Taiwanese boat "Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28" was some 170 nautical miles off the southern coast of Taiwan at the time, and was seriously damaged. Aside from an apology, Taiwan demanded that the Philippine government identify those responsible and make compensation for the losses. The CNA report noted there had been past incidents where Taiwanese fishermen operating in the area were arrested and detained by Philippine authorities. But it said there had been few reports of shooting. Quoting Taiwan's representative to the Philippines Raymond Wang, who met with Philippine Coast Guard head Rear Admiral Rodolfo Isorena, the Philippines found one of its ships shot the Taiwanese fishing boat.

That remains to be seen. And it is rightful, if hardline, action in the PCG's part. They were illegally inside our territory. (170 naut. miles of southern Taiwan, corroborates to more or less 23 naut. mile to Dalupiri Island, depending on what direction) |

the pcg or pn can fire if the vessel is ordered to stop and does not stop. the reason being , one -its not following orders of maritime law enforcement to stop and second, the fising boat may not be violating fishing laws but it might be violating other laws, drug smuggling, human smuggling, etc, and it may be trying to escape. lastly, according to the pcg , the fishing boat tried to ram the pcg boat. its just like the police, if they ask you to stop, you better stop. |

Philippine Coast Guard admits shooting at Taiwan boat Agence France-Presse 12:52 pm | Friday, May 10th, 2013 MANILA– The Philippine Coast Cuard admitted Friday that its personnel shot at a Taiwanese fishing boat in an incident that authorities in Taipei said left a crewman dead. “They fired at the machinery to disable it… if somebody died, they deserve our sympathy but not an apology,” coastguard spokesman Commander Armand Balilo told reporters. Balilo said the incident took place in Philippine waters and that the personnel had been carrying out their duties to stop illegal fishing. |

Report says, PCG relieved the PCG personnel. Wrong move their PCG Chief! What you did will send the message to Taiwan that they can try again since the PCG will be scared to do the same. REMEMBER, PCG CHIEF, THE TAIWANESE BOAT TRIED TO RAM THE PCG BOAT RIGHT INSIDE PHILIPPINE TERRITORY UNDER AN UNPROVOKED SITUATION. It is our right to enforce law. That will send the message that we have the balls to defend our country. That will deter further incursions. NAISIP MO BA YON, PCG CHIEF? PCG, bawal ang duwag sa PCG at Defense Department. Ang kaduwagan na yan ang magbibigay ng lakas ng loob sa mga dayuhan na lalo tayong gaguhin. PCG Chief, dapat i-reinstate agad ang PCG personnnel at hold on to the reason that it is our right to defend our nation. Sinira mo ang pride ng Pinoy sa ginawa mo, PCG Chief. Kaya asahan mo lalo tayong gagaguhin ng mga iyan. Huwag niyo na hintayin na sa inyo magalit ang taumbayan. Baka sa inyo ibuhos ang galit namin. Marami ng kapalpakan ang PCG, puro kasi smuggling inaatupag niyo dati kaya naagaw ang Mischief Reef at Scarborough. Huwag niyo na dagdagan pa ang galit ng bayan sa inyong kapalpakan sa pumumuno.
