00:00China has long been snooping virtually and conventionally on the country's secrets and sensitive information
00:06contained or held and premier military sites and government
00:10establishments. True enough, a spy from the mainland has been named of late and his
00:16exploits and results of his sneaky and devious deeds are nothing short of alarming.
00:22Our Luisa Erispe has more on the Chinese snoop and his two accomplices caught and held in
00:28NBI custody.
00:32A Chinese national who is allegedly part of an espionage group was nabbed by the National Bureau of
00:38Investigation or NBI last Friday at a condominium in Makati City. The suspect, Dan Yuen King, is a software engineer
00:45who has been living in the Philippines for five years.
00:48He is suspected to be a spy after a sensor or high-technology equipment was found inside his car
00:55capturing 3D images and coordinates of several structures in the Philippines. All of his acquired information are possibly
01:02transmitted real-time to China.
01:25The NBI said since December, he successfully captured images of power plants, sources of electricity, and even LGU offices in malls around Luzon.
01:55Specifically military camps, bases, power plants, LGU offices, police camps, stations, even shopping malls.
02:07They have a map of where to go. In fact, their plan is that after they go around Luzon, they will target the whole of Visayas and Mindanao.
02:19The armed forces of the Philippines admitted this is an alarming issue on their part.
02:23That's why they have initiated stricter security measures on the country's military bases.
02:28The suspect we caught is a specialist in terms of control engineering and automation and engineering through interdiction operations.
02:42Good afternoon, sir. I'm Zee Ann Ambrosia from ABS-CBN. For General Browner and for Director Santiago regarding,
02:52would you know how long the operations are since you mentioned that this has happened before? And second, what is the participation?
03:00It is believed that the suspect has two Filipino cohorts named as Ronel Jojo Balundo Besa and Jason Amado Fernandez.
03:08However, one of them denied the allegations.
03:11Do you have an operation here? No? That's what you want to say? Do you have anything else to say?
03:19The NBI is now tracking down the financier of the suspect who is believed to transfer millions of funds weekly.
03:25They are also looking into the affiliation of the NAB Chinese to the People's Liberation Army Science University in Nanjing, China.
03:33And they are studying connections of this alleged spy to the Republic of China as well.
