CHINA-PLA: PLA PERSONNEL ILLEGALLY IN PHILIPPINES

Filipino Senator Panfilo Lacson On March 4, 2020, expressed concerns about the 2000 to 3000 Chinese PLA personnel in the country. Lacson said the PLA members might be here for an 'immersion mission', of which the exact purpose remains unknown. This was followed by Senator Richard Gordon’s statement, in which he claimed that certain Chinese citizens had been “assuming” the identities of deceased Filipinos with the help of corrupt personnel of local civil registry offices. He shared the information a day after saying that China may be using Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) for intelligence and for bringing in money to fund espionage in the country. The police ha earlier found PLA identification cards in possession of the two Chinese suspects in the death of Yin Jian Tao, a Chinese worker who was shot inside a VIP room of a restaurant in Makati City last week.
