00:00The gadgets that were caught by a Chinese national that was arrested in Makati, Tungmayo
00:07based on the PNP's investigation, are not considered spying.
00:13But we will also find out if the gadgets are being used for espionage.
00:18This was learned by Donald Tinkongco.
00:23Because of the chicken fight, this Chinese national was arrested in Makati, Tungmayo
00:28and was charged with grave threat and illegal possession of firearms.
00:32But these gadgets are the ones that are making the police nervous.
00:36That's why a cyber warrant was issued to investigate.
00:39Now, the CIDG has returned the cyber warrant.
00:43Based on the findings, there are enough reasons for additional charges of illegal interception
00:48and misuse of devices against the suspect who violated the Cyber Crime Law.
00:54It appears that they recovered evidence that would establish that this gadget is being used for scamming activities.
01:06The police did not detail the findings of the PNP Anti-Cyber Crime Group
01:11in accordance with the prohibitions of disclosure to third parties of the Cyber Crime Law.
01:16But the police confirmed that aside from the cases of illegal interception and misuse of devices,
01:21the police also asked for another cyber warrant in court to investigate the gadgets and their contents
01:27for a possible case of espionage.
01:30Because they saw evidence that may require issuance for another cyber warrant to examine data
01:39for purposes of filing a separate case that might have a link to the espionage.
01:46Until such time that a cyber warrant will be issued with respect to this data,
01:52it is premature right now to disclose what are the contents of this.
01:57While he is still not there, the Chinese national is not yet considered a spy.
02:01But he is under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration and will not be able to leave the country due to the upcoming complaints.
02:07However, the police issued a red flag to him by a radio transmitter because he does not have a permit to own it.
02:16Will this gadget has been used and will be used for espionage activities?
02:21Again, that will be subject of the further examination.
02:27As ADG said to me earlier, they are being careful not to disclose too much.
