— Lawmakers on Wednesday called for a stiff penalty against the crew of a foreign oil tanker if they are proven to have abandoned the fishermen of the Filipino vessel their ship rammed in Bajo de Masinloc.
Fellow opposition senator Koko Pimentel also said,"The still seaworthy other vessel should have extended assistance to those in distress." "While the details remain unclear at this point, what is clear is that there has been a disregard for the lives of our fisherfolk, who are simply making a livelihood in our own sea," said Senate President Migz Zubiri."If it was an accident, we must figure out whether there was any attempt to assist our fisherfolk at all, as should have been done under international humanitarian laws.
