                    [Summary] => The government will pursue criminal charges against 38 Chinese fishermen caught poaching last month by the Philippine Navy in the waters off Palawan, Justice Secretary Hernando Perez said yesterday.


"We will continue with the prosecution of the 38 Chinese fishermen who were charged with poaching, unless they plead guilty to the charges," he told a press briefing. "In other words, we will not release any one of them and we shall continue with the prosecution of all the parties who were caught."
