00:00 The oil tanker's mining company is ready to help in the investigation
00:04 of a fishing boat in the West Philippine Sea.
00:07 This is what Chino Gaston is talking about.
00:10 While the investigation of the oil tanker MT Pacific Ana
00:19 in the Philippine fishing boat FB Derin is still ongoing,
00:22 some senators are talking to the owner of the boat
00:25 and the Marshall Islands, which is the country it came from,
00:28 to help the victims of the incident.
00:32 Of course, we talked to them and they agreed to help
00:37 to give a little compensation to the victims
00:42 without waiting for the final outcome of the criminal case.
00:45 Let's not dribble or delay it too much.
00:47 That's our appeal to our friend, neighbor, and ally,
00:51 the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
00:53 Should the victims be entitled to a certain amount,
00:57 international law does not prevent paying the entire amount.
01:01 International law does not prevent paying an initial amount.
01:06 All the more.
01:08 It's been 10 days.
01:10 Have you been helped by the suspected vessel?
01:15 No, right?
01:17 Upon hearing the Senate's opinion on the incident,
01:20 the owner of the boat Compass Shipping 38 Corporation
01:24 and its management company, Sinucor Maritime Corporation Limited,
01:28 but the owner of the boat sent a letter.
01:32 Sir, for sure, we have been cooperating with all the investigation.
01:37 We will definitely continue to do so.
01:39 We will abide by whatever is the finding.
01:41 We will definitely residue our principles.
01:43 We will be referring, of course, to UNGLOS, the international law,
01:47 when it comes to determining the liability.
01:50 The Coast Guard believes that even though it was dark,
01:54 Pacific Anna should have seen the stopped fishing boat.
01:57 Supposedly, they have lookouts and they use binoculars
02:02 so they can spot as they go along their voyage.
02:05 Along with the hearing, the crew of FBDRIN and some of the victims' relatives
02:09 were also saved.
02:11 They told the senators their experience.
02:15 I was the one next to the person who was cooking.
02:18 I just remember that we were under the boat.
02:22 In your opinion, did they know that you were caught?
02:26 I don't think it was our fault.
02:29 Senator Tolentino also talked to PCG and BIFAR
02:32 that if possible, the fishermen should be given emergency communication equipment
02:37 so that the fishermen can quickly ask for help when there are accidents in the sea.
02:42 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
02:48 [music]
