Fishermen who survived the ramming incident of their boat by a Chinese vessel inside Philippine waters in 2019 have expressed support for Vice President Leni Robredo and Sen. Francis Pangilinan for the top posts in the land. Robredo and Pangilinan held a dialogue with fishermen in Occidental Mindoro during their visit to the province on Wednesday. It was attended by the Mindoro22, the group of fishermen who survived the ramming of F/B Gem-Ver 1 at Recto Bank inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone on June 9, 2019.
