According to the report, following the arrest of a Chinese national allegedly engaged in espionage and two of his Filipino cohorts, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. on Monday said security in all military camps and facilities nationwide will be further tightened. In a media briefing held at the Department of Justice in Manila, Brawner said the military has already beefed up security at its camps, with strict checking of individuals entering AFP compounds and installations.

Initial reports said a Chinese national and his two Filipino accomplices, using a sports utility vehicle loaded with devices for espionage, conducted surveillance operations in key civilian and military installations. National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Office of the Cybercrime Division chief Jeremy Lotoc identified the three as Chinese national Deng Yuanqing, and Filipinos Ronel Jojo Balundo Besa and Jason Amado Fernandez.

The report said that he is a technical software engineer affiliated with PLAUST, which is controlled and operated by the People’s Liberation Army, with an address in Nanjing, Jiangsu in China," he added, referring to the People’s Liberation Army University of Science and Technology.
The three were arrested in front of a Makati City condominium night of Jan. 17.

The report added that Brawner revealed that a Chinese was also arrested last year with possible espionage equipment. Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City is the headquarters of the Philippine Army, and Camp Aguinaldo of the AFP and Camp Crame of the Philippine National Police, are located across each other in EDSA, Quezon City.

In addition to the report, NBI Director Jaime Santiago said follow-up operations are ongoing to track down other members of the group.
