The crew of BRP Teresa Magbanua endured hunger and thirst for weeks after Chinese forces blocked resupply missions to the Philippine Coast Guard ship guarding the Sabina Shoal .According to Joseph Morong’s exclusive report in 24 Oras on Monday, over 60 crew members of the vessel guarding the Escoda Shoal in the West Philippine Sea had to make do with lugaw or rice porridge for three weeks.
“Kapag tumagal pa kami, siguro doon mas marami na ang magkakasakit dahil na-expose na kami sa tubig na hindi healthy,” said the Magbanua’s captain, Lieutenant Commander Efren Duran, Jr. “May sumusuka na, may bowel movements na iba na talaga.”Aside from these deprivations, the safety of BRP Teresa Magbanua’s crew was also jeopardized after a China Coast Guard ship intentionally and repeatedly rammed into the Filipino vessel last August 31.
