Philippine Coast Guard tagged wrong ship
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) may be wrong when it announced that the Hong Kong-registered M/V Peach Mountain was the commercial ship that supposedly rammed a Filipino fishing boat last June 20, Malacañang said on Tuesday. “Based on the route and the speed by which the vessel was plying that route, it appears – this is from [Defense] Secretary Voltaire Gazmin – it is not Peach Mountain that rammed the vessel that hit those fishermen,” Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda was quoted in a GMA News report. “It is another Hong Kong-registered vessel and we’re still looking at it and there’s a continuing investigation as to what particular vessel hit the fishermen,” he added. On Monday, the PCG said that the Peach Mountain was suspected of being the culprit behind the incident that left one fisherman dead and four others missing. However, in an Inquirer report, one of the four survivors said that the vessel was not the one that came close to their fishing boat. “This is not the one,” Herman Balmores said, noting that the color of the Peach Mountain was darker than the color of the one that he saw.

Peach Mountain not involved in collision near Panatag
The vessel responsible for the sinking of the Philippine f/v "Axl John" near Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal on June 20 was not the "Peach Mountain", a Malacañang official said on June 26. The Philippine Navy is still conducting an investigation to identify the responsible vessel. Based on the initial findings of the Philippine Navy, it was not the "Peach Mountain", but "another Hong Kong-registered vessel." The Philippine Navy is plotting the route and speed of the vessels that sailed through the area where the mishap happened to pinpoint the foreign vessel. Since the foreign vessel came from the Philippines' port and plied local waters, the government will not have a hard time communicating with its owners but not make any contacts with the owners of foreign vessels and the country involved pending the Philippine Navy's investigation. The government is talking with maritime law experts to determine the liability of the foreign vessel involved. The National Risk Reduction and Management Council Executive Director said that according to the rescued fishermen, the foreign vessel that hit them was Chinese. The Chinese embassy in Manila said that it has not received any report about the incident.
