At least they spent two years in custody and will lose their boat (whatever that's worth?). No sure about the fines as where in heck would they get that kind of money?

Are you sure the boat is being confiscated?
Who is going to pay the eventual repatriation of the poachers?
I hope the Philippino Gov will stand up to the Chinese next time!!!
