May 20, 2024, 12:50 amPresident Marcos ordered an inquiry into the alleged wiretapping of a high-ranking official within the Armed Forces of the Philippines by the Chinese Embassy in Manila.
“It’s in the possession of the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese government. So, until they release it, it’s harder to believe and to accept that there was an agreement,” he said. He also said the Department of Information and Communications and Department of Science and Technology are working together to improve cybersecurity and the plan to recruit top Filipino experts to bolster digital defenses.
Interviewed over DZBB on Sunday, Sen. Francis Tolentino said the invitation was sent to the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian and Chinese Consul General Zhang Zhen.“I haven’t talk yet to the Committee Secretary. I will know it by Monday,” he said.He said there is a diplomatic protocol under the Geneva Convention that should be followed. “They have the right just like us,” he added.
“It’s been almost a year since we filed House Resolution 1216 to investigate it, but it will only be heard now. I hope that apart from former Malacañang officials, like Harry Roque, Duterte himself will be summoned because he himself knows about their conversation with Xi Jinping,” she said.
