The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines on Thursday belied 'malicious' accusations from Filipino politicians following a reported increase of Chinese students in Cagayan province.
The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines on Thursday belied the 'malicious' accusations related to the alleged increase in the number of Chinese students in Cagayan province.This after Cagayan Representative Joseph "Jojo" Lara sought a House inquiry into the matter, saying the presence of the Chinese students could put the country’s security at risk amid Beijing's aggression in the West Philippine Sea .
Lara added he received information that Chinese students who come to Cagayan paid P1 million per person, with 80% of the amount going to an “agent” and the remaining 20% to the school.“We just want to know why. We are not against having foreign students, but what we fear is we have an issue with China. If there are 4,600 Chinese students in one private university and the private university even admits it, it is very alarming,” Lara said.
