00:00The wife of the last Chinese national was accused of spying on the country
00:07that her husband is not a spy.
00:10In addition, her husband was hurt by the military.
00:15The authorities are against Ian's accusation.
00:22Deng Yuanqing's wife, Noemi,
00:25said in 2013 that they met on an online platform.
00:30They got married in 2014,
00:32so it's been 10 years since the Philippines returned it.
00:36Deng was arrested by the Chinese national
00:38for spying on their military and vital installations
00:44using some high-tech devices.
00:47She has a lot of worries
00:49and is now looking for the mystery of their 8-year-old daughter.
00:53She's not a spy.
00:57She's been living here in the Philippines for a long time.
01:04She's been here for more than 10 years.
01:06We have a daughter who is 8 years old.
01:08I'm afraid because my daughter is poor in school.
01:13Deng's wife said that she was the one who arrested him.
01:16When I talked to her, she said
01:21that he was forced to do it and that he was beaten on the head.
01:24But she said that it was okay.
01:26I asked her if she was taking good care of him.
01:28Did she feed him?
01:30She said that she only fed him a little
01:31because that's probably the only thing that she gave him.
01:35Teresita Ang Si, a human rights advocate, has an appeal.
01:39She hopes that Deng will not be judged
01:42for working as an overseas Chinese worker in the Philippines.
01:46For me, it's an impartial investigation.
01:50What happened was a trial by publicity.
01:54We haven't even started yet.
01:56A trial by publicity and you concluded that she's a spy.
02:01The company is a big company with clients in the US,
02:06in Taiwan, in Australia.
02:08It's an internationally registered company.
02:11In a statement by the Chinese Embassy,
02:14their spokesman said that there is no basis for speculation and accusation
02:19about the operation of a Chinese citizen as a spy.
02:23They requested a consular visit to the government of the Philippines
02:27to give assistance to their citizen.
02:30The family of the Chinese citizen who is in jail
02:35who is worried about the fair treatment here approached the embassy.
02:37If he's a spy, will the embassy not distance itself?
02:43The embassy requested DFA for help.
02:47Because when they went to the NBI, they don't want to face them.
02:52So they asked for help from DFL and DOJ for consular visits,
02:58to allow them for consular visits.
03:00But when they went, they said they don't want to face them.
03:04So why?
03:05According to Deng's lawyer, everything should be passed by the judge.
03:10They will file a case in court.
03:11We will have a trial.
03:13Let them prove the guilt of my client
03:16because we have no obligation to prove his innocence.
03:19He is presumed innocent.
03:20The NBI and AFP are adamant that Deng's arrest
03:26is the result of months of surveillance.
03:29He was even arrested and connected to espionage.
03:32We have direct links to the Chinese Embassy.
03:37So we have a lot of evidence that we are getting.
03:41They are arrested because they maimed him for three minutes.
03:46That's it.
03:48We don't have a string of facts.
03:50We don't do shadow chasing.
