Oft Evil Will Shall Evil Mar

the Chinese vessels (navy, coast guard, civilian vessels that do the dirty work for that government) have been harasssing Filipino ships (both coast guard and civilian fishermen) for years and it has been getting worse.

Well, now they went too far:

From the Phil Inquirer

:

Chinese ships collide while pursuing PH vessel

At one point, CCG 3104, which was pursuing the Suluan at high speed, executed a dangerous maneuver from the vessel’s starboard quarter, causing it to collide with PLAN Warship No. 164. The collision left the CCG ship’s forecastle or its forward part heavily damaged and unseaworthy, according to Tarriela.

 

 

but of course this is the Philippines: The Philippine Coast Guard offered them aid for anyone who was injured in the incident.

.....

And this being the Philippines, the local wags were busy joking about the incident.

 

...

 

China went for the kill, but Philippines scored 2!
