ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo has filed a resolution seeking an investigation into the dredging projects conducted by Chinese firms in Manila Bay amid concerns that the presence of the vessels may be a threat to national security. | GabrielLaluINQ
“The news from the Speaker, what he said was like personnel was going off the vessel at night, so our national security is under threat if these people are members of the People’s Liberation Army? What if they are members of China’s intelligence community, gathering information, videos, and pictures of vital installations? How would we fare?” he asked.
INQUIRER.net has asked Romualdez’s office if he did relay this information to Tulfo, but the Speaker has not responded as of posting time. Tulfo said it would be best if Romualdez invited Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian to discuss the issue.
