Senators prod security agencies to verify docu on Alice Guo; push anti-espionage law amendments - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

Expressing alarm over the recent "explosive revelation” in a documentary tagging dismissed Bamban mayor Alice Guo aka Guo Hua Ping as a Chinese spy, the chairman of the Senate defense committee on Tuesday urged security authorities to promptly verify the allegations, as he pushed for amendments to the over 80-year-old law against espionage.

He has filed Senate Bill No.2368 and said discussions to expand the coverage to include cyber espionage and provide stiffer penalties are in order.

Despite the “refusal of witnesses to truthfully answer our queries, this Committee has been successful in connecting the dots to paint a larger picture of the extent of illegal activities involving POGOs, possibly in cahoots with public officials.
