The military and the police said they are determining the authenticity of the China People’s Liberation Army uniforms recovered from a POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga even as more lawmakers raised the alarm against possible POGO links to foreign spies.
Senator Risa Hontiveros, however, said the discovery corroborates information shared by intelligence agencies establishing credible links between POGOs and foreign intelligence assets.“Our intelligence agencies have for a long time conveyed their worries . So we are calling again on the President to order a total ban on POGO,” she said.
“We will conduct research to compare if the uniform we confiscated is the same as the usual uniforms worn by other countries,” PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen. Jose Hidalgo said Basilio’s relief aimed “to pave the way for a fair and impartial investigation in relation to the POGO raid in Porac.”
For his part, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III said there is no reason to panic if only a handful of Chinese uniforms were recovered from the POGO hub. Senator Robin Padilla desribed the uniforms as “clear and present danger” if these are proven to be not just props.
