Expel Chinese embassy execs over phone wiretap

MANILA, Philippines — called on the Department of Foreign Affairs yesterday to investigate how unnamed people in the Chinese embassy in Manila allegedly recorded a supposed phone conversation between a Chinese diplomat and a top Armed Forces official discussing a so-called new model agreement on rotation and resupply missions to Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea last January.

Teodoro said the Department of National Defense now leaves it up to the DFA to look into the truth of what really happened and if it really happened and if it did, sanctions must be imposed.On the part of the DND and the military, Teodoro said operational security measures will be strengthened, given the fact that there really is “disinformation, malign influence and undesirable actions of agents of foreign governments.

Carlos is now being accused of claiming that the negotiations had the blessing of Teodoro and National Security Adviser Eduardo Año, both of whom have vehemently denied and dismissed as falsehoods that form part of China’s propaganda and effort to cause division among Filipinos. Meanwhile, the supposed new model deal over Ayungin Shoal is not binding because the WESCOM has no authority to finalize an agreement with other countries without the involvement of the DFA, retired Supreme Court justice Antonio Carpio said.
