MANILA, Philippines — Fishers of F/B Gem-Ver have finally received compensation from the owners of the Chinese vessel that sank their boat and abandoned them at sea nearly three years ago.

 

Justice Undersecretary Adrian Sugay said F/B Gem-Ver’s owner and fishermen have received “full compensation” amounting to P6 million last May 16.

 

This is just half of what prosecutors set in September 2020, when they sought P12 million or nearly $250,000 as payment to the fishermen to cover repair costs, lost income and civil and moral damages.
