Eduardo Año, the National Security Adviser, reported that sensitive information may have been leaked following the arrest of several individuals allegedly involved in espionage activities for China.
According to Año, among the information that may have been compromised were the schedules of rotation and resupply (RORE) missions.
In connection with this, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said this could explain why China appeared to be aware of their activities and schedules in the West Philippine Sea.
Año added that authorities are also looking into other government agencies that may have been compromised in the discovered Chinese espionage operations.
He assured the public that the espionage activities will not succeed.
Año also said that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) already has the three suspected Filipino spies under control.
He further assured that the leaked information does not pose a serious threat.
Earlier, the National Security Council (NSC) confirmed that several Filipinos admitted their involvement in espionage activities allegedly linked to China.
