Escudero joins colleagues in condemning Chinese crew for abandoning Filipino victims 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranSenator Francis Escudero joined Wednesday the Department of National Defense in condemning in the strongest possible words the action of a Chinese vessel abandoning Filipino fishermen after it struck their fishing vessel at the contested West Philippine Sea (WPS) last Sunday. But there was a mild reaction from Senate President Vicente C. Sotto on the WPS incident. ‘’If it’s between two fishing vessels, then it must be an accident. Nevertheless, DFA should inform the Chinese government of the incident and find out what happened,’’ Sotto said.
