BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Contrary to news reports by Rappler and other yellow media, the Philippine fishing boat rammed by a Chinese vessel in the West Philippine Sea didn’t sink.

“How could we sink,” the captain of the fishing boat said, “when my boat was actually a submarine. We’re safe over the waters or under.”

”The news media have sensationlized this whole thing,” the captain said.

In fact, news reports have indicated that the Filipino fishermen involved in the incident have safely returned to shore with their catch fully intact.
