PCG faces blank wall on identities of 7 rescued Chinese
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) rescued seven Chinese individuals from a distressed vessel, FV Kai Da 899, off Eastern Samar on January 27.
The vessel sustained hull damage and had been adrift for four days.
The PCG is investigating the exact identities of the individuals and the nature of their vessel, which appears to be a tanker rather than a fishing boat.
The rescued individuals could not provide necessary documents such as passports or seaman's passbooks to verify their identities.
The PCG is also investigating whether they were engaged in illegal fishing.
