Yesterday, the Philippine Coast Guard vessel, MRRV-4407, successfully rescued a Filipino fishing boat after its engine exploded during a fishing expedition in Bajo De Masinloc. However, during the rescue operation, the Chinese Coast Guard deployed two Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) not to assist the PCG, but to obstruct and hinder their efforts in rescuing the two injured Filipino fishermen, who suffered second-degree burns. Despite the interference from the Chinese Coast Guard, the PCG, in close coordination with the Filipino fishermen, managed to outmaneuver the RHIBs and successfully transfer the injured fishermen for immediate first aid. The PCG vessel, along with the towed Filipino fishing boat, is expected to arrive tomorrow morning.
