Lara said he also received information that Chinese students come to Cagayan at a cost of P1 million, with 80% of the amount going to an “agent” and the remaining 20% to the school.“There is nothing wrong with having foreigners around here, but we should not sacrifice our national security,” Lara said.“Gusto lang natin makampante ang lahat ng Pilipino at tiyakin na walang mako-kompromiso sa atin rito,” Lara added.
