Update on 14th , June 2013
Manila, June 12 (CNA) The Philippine National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has recommended that criminal charges be filed against the Philippine coast guard personnel involved in the fatal shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman in May, according to a local daily.
The mass-circulation Inquirer quoted a source close to the investigation into the incident as saying that the NBI had submitted a report to Philippine Secretary of Justice Leila de Lima.
The source, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, said the report contains the identities of the coast guard personnel who fired their rifles at deceased Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-cheng's fishing boat, the Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28, in waters off Balintang Island May 9.
The NBI report also contains the identity of the officer who fired the bullet that killed Hung, the newspaper reported.
It quoted the source as saying that the shooter was identified through a cross-match between the fatal slug recovered from Hung's body during an autopsy and the ballistic signature of the M14 rifle from which it was fired.
The source declined to reveal whether either murder or homicide charges had been recommended in the NBI report.
However, he did say that there was a debate on whether to bring murder charges against the coast guard personnel, as "superior strength" was used "against an unarmed civilian," or homicide charges, as Hung's death was "not premeditated."
According to the Inquirer, the source also disclosed that the coast guard's claim that the Kuang Ta Hsing had tried to ram their patrol vessel was disproved

The following news from ( C.N.A. )
Manila, May 17 (CNA) The Philippines is investigating the May 9 shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), and the results are expected to be released soon, the country's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said Friday.
The government will handle the case based on evidence and will certainly punish anyone found to have committed any wrongdoing, NBI Director Nonnatus Caesar Rojas said at a press conference.
Rojas said that the PCG has handed over the guns used to shoot the Taiwanese fishing boat, the Kuang Ta Hsin No. 28, as well as what is purported to be video footage of the shooting.
Rojas said that investigators had boarded the MCS 3001 patrol ship, a 35-meter vessel jointly manned by the PCG and personnel from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and took statements from the crew.
At the press conference, weapons held by the PCG when the shooting occurred were displayed, including eight M16 rifles, six M14 rifles and a machine gun.
A national investigation team is ready to depart for Taiwan and the investigation will be completed only after the investigation of the Taiwan side of events is concluded, Rojas added.
Meanwhile, NBI Deputy Director Virgilio Mendez said the bureau is investigating the credibility of the video, the identity of the cameraman and whether the video is related to the incident.
The NBI refused to reveal any other information, saying only that the results will be made public after the investigation is completed. (Emerson Lim and Y.L. Kao)

Manila gives 'some response' to Taiwan's demands (update)
2013/05/15 03:46:33
Taipei, May 15 (CNA) The Philippines has given "some positive response" to Taiwan's demands over the shooting of a Taiwanese fishing boat and the killing of a crewman on board by a Philippine official vessel May 9, said Foreign Minister David Lin early Wednesday.
Both sides will have to hold further discussion to ensure that the Philippines has fully met the demands, Lin told a press conference held in the wee hours of Wednesday after meeting Antonio I. Basilio, resident representative of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO).
In an ultimatum issued on May 11, Taiwan asked the Philippines to officially apologize, compensate the victim's family for their loss, conduct an investigation as soon as possible and bring those responsible to justice, and begin talks on the signing of a bilateral fishery agreement at the earliest possible date.
If the demands were not met in 72 hours (by midnight Tuesday), Taiwan would suspend processing the applications for the employment of Filipino workers, recall Taiwan's representative to Manila and ask the Philippines' representative to Taiwan to return to his home country to help handle the case.
Whether the punitive measures will take effect depends on the Philippines' further response, said Lin.
Taiwan will send a group of investigators to the Philippines Thursday to look into the incident, said Lin, while Philippine investigators will also come to Taiwan to collect evidence on the matter.
The ministry said that it will continue to demand the Philippines provide proper compensation to the family of the deceased fisherman and make sure that similar incident will not happen again.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Navy and Coast Guard Administration will continue their efforts to protect Taiwanese fishermen operating in the area near where the incident occurred, Lin said.
The Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28, a 15-ton fishing boat from southern Taiwan, was strafed by a joint patrol vessel of the Philippine Coast Guard and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources while operating in the overlapping economic zones of the two countries.
Hung Shih-cheng, a 65-year-old fisherman, was shot dead in the incident, which caused an outrage and triggered angry protests around Taiwan.
