The Senate Committee on National Defense and Security already extended a “polite invitation” to Chinese Embassy officials in Manila concerning their alleged wiretapping activities targeting members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines .

Speaking over radio DZBB on Sunday, Tolentino said the invitation was addressed to Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian and Consul General Zhang Zhen. The foreign diplomats have yet to respond to the invitation, according to the senator.Tolentino emphasized that the invitation was courteous, acknowledging that the Chinese diplomats could not be compelled to attend the Senate hearing due to diplomatic protocols established under the Geneva Convention.

The focus of the Senate hearing will be on the alleged violations of the Anti-Wire Tapping Law, not the “new model” of AFP supply missions, Tolentino clarified.
