The Philippine Star
|April 28, 2024
Police are conducting background checks on Chinese students in Cagayan province amid rumors they could be spies or are part of sleeper cells for the Chinese military.
Col. Jean Fajardo, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, said that in coordination with other concerned government agencies, they are keeping tabs on the Chinese students, who the Bureau of Immigration said number about 400.
"The PNP is working with other security forces to at least do background checks on the Chinese students in Cagayan," she said at a news forum.
Fajardo defended the move to monitor the activities of the Chinese nationals, citing national security concerns.
