It's a tragedy that those who do their job gets the boot!
This is what happened when a recent report indicated that the Coast Guard personnel who killed Taiwanese fishermen will be sued for homicide in the May 9, 2013 death of said fishermen. Although I am not aware of the details, the incident could not have escalated to what it did if the Taiwanese fishermen stopped their boat and had themselves checked by the Coast Guard men.
The Philippines should not sue these men as they did what they did trying to uphold the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Indeed, we are lacking in men and women in government who do their job well enough to risk their own lives, these men are doing just that. They did what they did considering the circumstances they were faced with. There is one thing clear, the Taiwanese fishing vessel did not heed the Coast Guard commands. In fact, they attempted to flee.
If the Coast Guard personnel who figured in the May 9 incident gets sued and convicted, then what are we sending the message that this country is not worth fighting for, not worth dying for, simply NOT WORTH!
FREE THE COAST GUARD MEN!
