Yeah, the Chi's should even be the one apologetic because they entered our jurisdiction! WE SHOULD NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THE BUMP. They didn't apologize even when they fired shot and harassed the DOE's research ship INSIDE OUR JURISDICTION! C'mon PN high ranks, where are your brains? Are you scared w/ the Chi's? Ask them an apology too! Express your patriotism to our Country!

Hmm... Manila says won't apologise to China for minor sea collision MANILA Oct 19 (Reuters) - The Philippines said on Wednesday a Chinese fishing vessel had intruded into its territorial waters, explaining why a Philippine navy ship "accidentally" collided with a dinghy the Chinese boat was towing. A Philippine navy boat was on patrol in the Reed Bank when it spotted a Chinese fishing vessel towing 35 smaller boats. When it tried to challenged the fishing vessel, it hit one of the dinghies. Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said the government would not apologise to China. "No apologies were necessary and none was given," del Rosario said in a text message to reporters. A defence department spokesman had said earlier the navy had apologised to China to avoid creating tension in the area. China, Taiwan and four Southeast Asian states, including the Philippines, have conflicting claims over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, an area believed to have rich deposits of oil and gas. It is also a rich fishing ground. Claimants have been trying to cool tensions after a series of disputes earlier this year, including when Chinese patrol boats threatened to ram a Philippine-contracted survey ship in the Reed Bank in March.

Apologize to those thieves like hell! I rather dance naked than to see ourselves apologizing to these intruders. What happens when you saw a robber in your house and shot him, do you apologize? Hell no! |

Sir PN Official.... magresign kana! You patronizing the China over your country. Where's your patriotism? You don't have the right to wear that uniform! Online publication: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/15889/chi...urn-small-boats BEIJING—China has told the Philippines to return 25 small boats that were being towed by a Chinese fishing vessel in waters near the disputed Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said a Philippine warship’s propeller became entangled with the mooring rope of the unoccupied boats as they were being towed Tuesday. Jiang said Thursday that China has “indisputable sovereignty” over the islands and that the Philippine naval action infringed on the rights of the fishermen. A Philippine Navy official has apologized for the accident. The Philippines is at loggerheads with China over the Spratly and Paracel Islands in the West Philippine Sea, which Beijing claims in its entirety on historical grounds. |

No way! or let those boats be impounded for the longest possible time. Better, consider it for donations to local folks. http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2011-10...nt_13944341.htm China demands return of boats from the Philippines BEIJING - China on Thursday demanded the Philippines return small Chinese boats promptly and unconditionally after a Philippine military vessel confronted a Chinese fishing vessel. "China has presented its stance to the Philippines. We demand that the Philippines return the small Chinese boats unconditionally and as soon as possible, and properly handle related issues," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a daily press briefing. On Tuesday, a Philippine military vessel entered the sea area neighboring the Liyue Tan, also known as the Reed Bank, of the Nansha archipelago in the South China Sea and tried to approach a Chinese fishing vessel towing 25 smaller, unoccupied boats, Jiang said. The propeller of the Philippine vessel got tangled with the rope, disconnecting the Chinese fishing vessel from the 25 smaller boats. |

The Philippine Navy must stand its ground in this matter and not apologize to the Chinese government. |

The article on the Philstar makes our nation look like idiots. Napasukan nga tayo tapos nanakawan pa ng natural resources tapos tayo pa ang nag-sorry sa mga kawatan! For Shame! |
