PCG identifies 2 Chinese-flagged 'vessels of interest' in Subic sea mishap
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is investigating two Chinese-flagged vessels, Yong Fa Men and Mei Lan Hu, identified as "vessels of interest" in a collision with a Filipino fishing boat.
The incident occurred on July 6 in Subic, Zambales, resulting in the rescue of fisherman Robert Mondoñedo and the disappearance of his brother, Jose Mondoñedo.
Based on the surviving fisherman's account, the PCG is primarily focusing on the Yong Fa Men, which allegedly collided with their boat.
Both vessels were in waters off Adang Bay, Indonesia, and the PCG is coordinating with Indonesian Port State Control for further details.
The PCG has officially informed the Chinese Embassy in Manila and requested cooperation from the China Maritime Safety Agency.
An official inquiry aims to determine if the vessels observed the collision and their actions afterward, including potential hit-and-run.
