Nine hungry marines guarding the Philippines' loneliest station on board a rusted World War II vessel had only one alternative after Chinese vessels blocked crisp supplies from arriving at them - go angling.
The Philippines grounded the pontoon at the little shore because of China's military involving Mischief Reef, something like 40 kilometers miles away, in 1995.
However China had constantly permitted the Philippine vessels to cruise up to the reef and convey new supplies to the marines, who by and large do tours of obligation enduring between three to six months
This changed a month ago when vessels stamped "China Coast Guard" obstructed two regular person resupply watercrafts, constraining Pelotera and his men to cast their angling lines into the ocean.
The Chinese government responded with wrath to the thrashing, with the temperament in Beijing souring further when the Philippines likewise bid on the weekend to the United Nations for it to decide that China's cases to the vast majority of the ocean were invalid.
