AYUNGIN SHOAL, South China Sea (The Adobo Chronicles EXCLUSIVE) – The Adobo Chronicles has obtained a video of a Chinese Coast Guard speedboat chasing a Filipino fisherman’s fishing boat in an effort to drive it away from disputed territory in the South China Sea.

Lo and behold, the fishing boat outsmarted the more powerful speedboat with the Filipino fisherman just laughing off the exciting chase at the end.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with the Filipino fisherman just minutes after the chase and we asked him what led to the scary incident.

Mang Kanor (not his real name) said he was trying to beat what apparently was a new number coding imposed be the Philippine Coast Guard on Filipino fishing boats. In the process, he accidentally encountered the Chinese Coast Guard on his way back to Palawan. And the rest is history.

The good news is that Mang Kanor did beat the number coding deadline and avoided possible penalty of cancellation of his fishing license.

All’s well that ends well!
