OCCIDENTAL MINDORO, Philippines – On June 9, 2019, a Chinese vessel rammed a Filipino fishing boat anchored near Recto Bank in the West Philippine Sea then abandoned the 22 fishermen aboard it.
As they watched their boat sink in the dead of night, two of them paddled their way to another foreign boat from afar. As it turned out, those aboard the vessel were Vietnamese fishermen who rescued them.
It was the longest night of their lives and they remember it in vivid detail.
Here are the men of Gem-Ver and what they remember most about the hours that they thought would be their last.
