The National Bureau of Investigation has arrested five more suspected Chinese spies who were allegedly monitoring Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Philippine Navy activities in Palawan, including the resupply of troops in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). Based on the NBI’s surveillance and accounts of witnesses, NBI Director Jaime Santiago told a news conference on Thursday that the group had set up high-resolution solar-powered cameras pointed at the waters off Palawan where PCG ships must pass in going to and coming from the WPS.
