00:00The National Bureau of Investigation, or NBI, confirmed that the five Chinese nationals arrested for espionage
00:07are graduates of the Philippines' or Philippine People's Liberation Army University.
00:13According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, after they conducted covert and surveillance operations
00:19together with other government agencies,
00:22the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:26came out to investigate and placed the last Chinese nationals
00:30with high-resolution solid-power CCTV cameras
00:34aimed at where the Philippine ships are passing through,
00:37to and from the West Philippine Sea.
00:40High-precision gadgets that can only be bought in China were also confiscated.
00:46Aside from this, it was found out that the last Chinese who espionaged for a long time in the Philippines
00:52were some of them married to Filipinos.
00:56According to Director Santiago, they were under the Republic Act 10175,
01:01or Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012,
01:04which is non-bailable and has the right to life imprisonment.
01:09Currently, the last individuals are in the custody of the NBI
01:12while Director Santiago is confirming that they will further investigate the AFP
01:18to find out if there are other espionages in the country.
01:24They are denying, saying that they are tourists,
01:28and the others who justified their existence here in the Philippines,
01:32were married to Filipinos.
01:34They have been here for a long time.
