ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines - At least 18 Chinese fishing vessels were intercepted by the Philippine Navy near and island off Basilan since Monday while taking shelter due to the bad weather brought by tropical storm 'Ruby.'

Rear Admiral Reynaldo Yoma, chief of Naval Forces Western Mindanao (NFWM), said the 18 fishing vessels, measuring about 72-foot each and manned with 16 crews per craft, were spotted off Langhil Island near Muhammad Adjul island town off Basilan.

A Navy team with representatives from the Bureau of Customs (BoC), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and Bureau of Immigration conducted investigation on the vessels.

Yoma said initial investigation revealed that the Chinese fishing vessels came from Indonesian waters and proceed to South China Sea when they decided to seek shelter due to typhoon Ruby. The ships' fish tanks were also empty.

“Based on their pre-plotted course in their maps they just want to seek shelter here while the typhoon is battering the parts of the country,” Yoma said.

Yoma said the fishing vessels will be guarded to ensure the fishing vessels will not overstay as they will be allowed to leave once the weather condition is already safe.

“It is their right to seek shelter due to force majeure,” Yoma added.

If the Chinese fishermen took refuge in an Indonesian island, their boats would of been destroyed by the Indonesian Navy.

One one side they allow foreign fishermen to take shelter, the other one harassed and drove away the fishermen seeking shelter.

Oh the irony.

Maybe the PH authorities have a very strong sense of sarcasm as to why they were allowed to take shelter in Basilan.

I would say thank you to Filipino goverment this time for humanitarian support.

Ever since his cause has lost in Hong Kong, he has been derailed a little.

If I were a Vietnamese member here, I would change or at least hide my flag. This guy is doing no good to their image.

They can't tolerate anything postive to China,actually he is pathetic. I think CHina will allow Vietnam fishmen shelterng when a hurrican is coming. They don't even know the basic of human-being. GFYS

they're lucky the authorities got there first, the abu's would be spending dollars this christmas.

Filipino goverment shall kill those terrorists ASAP.

If our relationship improves, I think China will provide support to filipino goverment to hunt down Abu.

Acutally Mr President Aquino's mom is very friendly wth China, i think her son shall aways keep that in mind.

Actually i think Vietnam is more disliked than Filipinos in Chinese heart.. I think we have rooms to talk with Filipino about SCS.

The reason i some like Filipinos more than Vietnam is because i'm a christian, i think majority of filipinos are Christians? I hope God will lead the way out to solve the problem laid between us.
