00:00Aside from Palawan, there are also people who are being spied on by the Chinese National in other parts of the country like in other sub-stations of the NGCP.
00:09For 8 years, the NBI has been holding on to the so-called espionage in the country,
00:13something that President Bongbong Marcos is now in charge of.
00:17Ivan Mayrina has the news.
00:22Even President Bongbong Marcos is in charge of the report of foreigners who are being spied on in the vital installations in the country.
00:29using high-tech devices,
00:31particularly in the areas of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:35That's why we arrested them because, of course, we are very disturbed by anyone conducting such espionage operations against our military.
00:45The NBI is now holding 8 people, 6 of them are Chinese Nationals and 2 Filipinos.
00:50They were arrested for alleged espionage.
00:53One of the Chinese, Deng Yuanqing, and the other two Filipinos were arrested for alleged espionage.
00:59They were charged with espionage and violation of anti-cybercrime law.
01:04They are not guilty.
01:07According to the National Bureau of Investigation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
01:11Deng and his two Filipinos are connected to the other five Chinese Nationals who were arrested for alleged espionage.
01:17According to the intelligence information that we've gathered, we have a P.U.I. who is missing here in China.
01:26Basically in China because that's his identification.
01:30He is the one who is directing this group.
01:32One group is Deng and the other group is Kai.
01:38There is an individual who is directing them.
01:42According to the NBI Cybercrime Division,
01:44Deng's group is being surveilled by power plants, power grids in Luzon,
01:49and several sub-stations of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP.
01:53Malampaya Gas Field in Palawan is also being surveilled.
01:57According to Elon Tuk, they used a LiDAR sensor that can capture all and complete details of a place.
02:02The level of accuracy of the data is high and it can be sent anywhere in real time.
02:09If Deng's surveillance is land-based, the five Chinese who were arrested yesterday are sea-based.
02:15Aside from the strong CCTVs with telephotos that they installed in Olugan Oyster Bay,
02:20they also installed CCTVs in Buliluyan Port.
02:23Buliluyan, Batarasa, is of strategic importance in the south of Palawan.
02:28The location is within the vicinity of EDCA site.
02:31And the Philippine Coast Guard vessels can be monitored from docking to its routine missions in the WPS.
02:38It serves as a secondary port due to its proximity to the North Balabac Strait,
02:44a vital sea lane of communication,
02:47where some Pale A Navy vessels have been monitored passing through in the past months.
02:52Even in Subic, in Sambales, they were also surveilled.
02:56One of them is the urge trip.
02:58The other one is the naval base and then the power grid.
03:02You can see the red dot there.
03:05That's the position of our perpetrator.
03:07You can see that he has a mark.
03:09He has a mark towards and a mark on the left side.
03:13When we translated through Google Translate,
03:17it says Navy and Airport.
03:19So they are planning for that.
03:24That's why President Marcos is waiting for the investigation of the NBI about this.
03:28The investigative services are still developing more information
03:33to see exactly what these five have been,
03:37what operations they have been doing while they've been here in the Philippines.
03:42Because the others have been here for a long time.
03:44The Filipinos have married them.
03:46They are really sleepers.
03:49They are called sleepers.
03:50In a statement, National Security Advisor Eduardo Año said
03:54that the government will continue to monitor
03:56to strengthen national security
03:58by strengthening counterintelligence and monitoring.
