Here's a wrap up of today's biggest news in the Philippines. Happy Friday the 13th!
Scarborough (Panatag) shoal standoff
As reported, some chinese fishermen who were illegally collecting exotic and endangered species around the contested area were caught by our navy men. As the filipino navy tried to arrest the fishermen, chinese navy vessels intervened and came to their rescue. It also marked the baptism of fire for our newest ship, the BRP Gregorio Del Pilar. Up to now, the standoff continues as diplomatic protests and discussions continue. As the leaders of the two countries talk, the navy men of both sides tried to kill boredom by watching american idol via satellite tv.

Many people living along the targetted rocket flight including the Filipinos were happy with what happened. The happiest were the navy men in Scarborough as it didn't fell on to them. But of course, both wished it hit their enemy boat.
