|April 04, 2025
BEIJING: China yesterday said it has detained three Filipinos nationals suspected of spying, a move that could further strain ties between Beijing and Manila.
-
The Ministry of State Security said it recently discovered an espionage case involving Filipino nationals based in China, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency. The three — Dave Daval Fernandez, Albert Antenor Ramilo and Nathalie Pizarro — have been recruited by Manila since 2021 to carry out secret intelligence tasks in China, the report said, adding that the case is under investigation.
China yesterday said it had "destroyed" an intelligence network set up by the Philippine espionage agency and arrested three spies from the country.
