一艘中国渔船和9名中国人被菲律宾拘留，另有在小船上的10人下落不明
菲方是以入侵、捕猎和其他罪名对这几人进行指控。（菲方其实并没有查到所谓的赃物--海龟，只是称发现“一些渔网和用来制作海龟标本的材料以及福尔马林等化学物品”）
事发地点，菲方称在巴拉巴克岛西北45海里处。实际上就是南沙海槽海域。估计距离半月礁不远，还在我国主张的传统海域之内，但是否在半月礁（明礁）12海里范围内就不好判断了。
我国还得加强对渔民的教育阿，海南貌似已经立法禁止捕猎海龟了吧，不知道涵盖南沙海域不？

请注意前几天的报道中提到过5月21日有外国军舰企图在同样是在南沙东部的五方礁附近抓扣我国渔船，但被美济礁渔政派出的渔政308解救。

　　（综合讯）9名中国公民自5月20日被发现在菲律宾水域内“非法捕猎”海龟后被捕，目前还在接受菲律宾方面的审查。当地一名律师说，他们正在与其他政府部门协调，准备按照非法入侵、捕猎和其他罪名对这几人进行指控。

　　报道说，5月29日早间，在警卫队指定人员的护送下，他们乘坐自己的木制渔船到达普林塞萨港，并开始接受调查。当地官员称，初步调查显示，这艘渔船是为了收集海龟以用作装饰。

　　当地官员补充说，他们正在争取获得政府协助，将获取到的一些中文文件翻译过去，并对这些船员进行面谈审问。

ZZ 10 other Chinese poachers missing in high seas

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY -- Ten Chinese nationals have been reported missing at sea off Balabac Island in southern Palawan and may have been left in small sampan boats after their mother ship was apprehended Thursday by government authorities and its crew of nine arrested for illegal fishing inside Philippine territory.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer learned from various sources that the nine Chinese nationals of the fishing boat Song Song Hai 05022, who were brought to the capital Saturday from Balabac, had told their investigators that 10 of their companions were left behind, including the boat captain.

“They gave us names of the 10 others whom they claimed were left behind,” said lawyer Adel Villena of the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development.

Villena said the Chinese crew made the claim after they were brought to Puerto Princesa City and local officials found a local translator to interview the fishermen.

The fishing boat had tried to elude the MCS, the patrol vessel of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Coast Guard for over half an hour early Thursday some 45 nautical miles northwest of Balabac Island.

Among the items found inside the vessel after they were brought to the capital were 19 identification cards, 10 of which had no claimants among the apprehended boat crew, according to investigators.

Also seized were various fishing paraphernalia used for capturing marine turtles, including bales of nets and cotton-like stuffing materials and formaldehyde.

Their wooden boat was also equipped with a built in aquarium designed to hold live marine animals for long periods, according to government investigators.

Investigators believed that the fishing boat was engaged mainly in collecting marine turtles and stuffing them for ornamental purposes.

A Chinese embassy official who visited the Chinese being held in their boat under the watch of Coast Guard personnel at the Puerto Princesa City port declined, however, to confirm the information when asked by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The arrested Chinese nationals, who claimed to have originated from the mainland China province of Hainan, were presented to the provincial prosecutor’s office Saturday evening for inquest and the filing of criminal complaints against them, including violations of the country’s fisheries code.

The nine Chinese nationals under Coast Guard custody were identified as Huang Pu, Ho Chang, Jian Yet, Ho Ta, Dyu Song, Seng Fa, Hu Yung, Lin Shing and Ho Sy.

At least four complaints were filed against the Chinese last Saturday, including poaching and illegal gathering of rare and endangered marine species.

Villena said they gathered strong evidence to prosecute the Chinese, although she had expressed concern over the “low rate of success” in prosecuting Chinese illegal fishers, due in part to diplomatic pressures.

“There has been no real success in prosecuting them (Chinese). We’re just hoping that the new rules on environmental cases issued by the Supreme Court can make a difference,” she added.

She cited an instance involving Chinese poachers arrested near the Tubbataha Reefs marine park wherein the accused “pleaded to a lesser offense that is not even included in the offense charged as required by the rules.”

Lawyer Edward Lorenzo of the Environmental Legal Assistance Center, a non-profit group that has been assisting government agencies in prosecuting environmental cases, observed that Chinese diplomatic pressures “have always been the problem of enforcement agencies who try to exert utmost effort to implement our fisheries laws.”

“No matter how strong the evidence is against the poachers, we have felt at times that we’re up against Malacañang and the Department of Foreign Affairs who were lawyering for the bad guys,” alleged Lorenzo.
