MANILA, Philippines – The crew of a Chinese vessel who abandoned the 22 Filipino crewmen of a sinking fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea committed inhumane acts, Senator Richard Gordon stressed on Thursday. Gordon took offense at the Chinese crew’s actions, especially since the Philippine fishing boat sank after a “collision” with the Chinese vessel. “The Chinese crew violated these laws,” he added. After the Chinese vessel left the 22 Filipino fishermen in sea, the crew of a passing Vietnamese ship rescued them and coordinated with local authorities. (Editor: Gilbert S.
