Malacañang on Thursday, March 5, 2026, urged government officials and employees to remain vigilant following the discovery of alleged China-linked espionage activities in the Philippines.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro reminded government workers to safeguard sensitive government information and stay alert against potential threats to national security.
“Ang paalala ng Palasyo sa lahat ng nasa gobyerno ay maging maingat at mapanuri. Bantayan ninyo ang inyong mga opisina, protektahan ang mga sensitibong impormasyon ng pamahalaan, at tiyaking hindi ito makokompromiso ng mga aktor na maaaring magdulot ng banta sa pambansang seguridad,” Castro said.
The National Security Council described the case as a “serious national security matter,” saying some Filipino nationals allegedly acted on behalf of Chinese intelligence.
Authorities added that the operations had already been “addressed and terminated.”
