More Filipinos being probed after alleged China leakBloombergThe Philippines’ top security official said more people are being probed after authorities apprehended three Filipino nationals for allegedly leaking sensitive information to Beijing, including data on Manila’s operations in the disputed South China Sea. “There are other cases that we’re investigating,” National Security Adviser Eduardo Ano said yesterday. “We firmly oppose and strongly deplore irresponsible remarks made by certain Philippine agencies peddling so-called ‘Chinese spy’ narratives,” the embassy on Thursday. Such accusations are malicious smears against China and yet another attempt to hype up the so-called ‘China threat’ rhetoric,’” it added. The Philippines has said that Chinese coast guard vessels have previously fired water cannons and rammed Manila’s vessels engaged in resupply missions in the contested waters.
