    That just sucks. I am sure the ship's captain did not intend to do this, but it still sucks really badly.

    5,000Philippine peso's comes out to $103 US.
    The fine should be 50,000P or 500,000P maybe the ships Capitan's would pay attention to posted boundary markers, which were being installed at the time. The ship was warned before they entered the protected zone.

    $103??

    What the heck is the point of that? I think they should just revoke his captains license if they can. Otherwise ban him from operating in Philippine waters.

    And, of course they could confiscate the boat and use it to create an artificial reef help make up for the loss of the reef. I mean, they confiscate drug dealer boats all of the time right?

    how unfortunate indeed ... what is more unfortunate is that our laws are soooo outdated that offenders get away with a slap on the wrist!
