In response to the recent apprehension of five Chinese nationals suspected of conducting unauthorized surveillance on Philippine naval installations, the Philippine Army (PA) has announced the implementation of stringent security protocols across its camps and facilities nationwide. Army spokesperson Col. Louie Dema-ala emphasized the ongoing efforts to bolster safety and security, stating that these measures have been in place well before the recent incidents. The arrests, which took place between January 24 and 25 in various locations including Palawan and Dumaguete City, highlighted the need for heightened vigilance. The suspects were caught using sophisticated equipment, including drones and disguised high-resolution cameras, to gather intelligence. This equipment was capable of transmitting real-time data to remote locations, potentially compromising the movements of Philippine naval and coast guard vessels. The Philippine Army’s response includes continuous 24/7 physical security and enhanced intelligence monitoring to safeguard its installations against such threats.
