MANILA, Philippines — The skipper of the sunken Philippine fishing vessel in the West Philippine Sea is certain that it was a Chinese vessel that deliberately rammed their boat. Chinese talaga yun (We saw the vessel that rammed our boat. We are sure they were Chinese),” Junel Insigne, boat captain of F/B Gem-vir, said on live television. Insigne revealed that the crew of the Chinese vessel even made sure that their boat was submerged before they left. “Nagulat na lang po kami bakit po kami binangga po (We were surprised they rammed our boat),” he said.
