MANILA (Bloomberg): The Philippine military said a "foreign power” could be attempting to map out the Southeast Asian nation, following the arrest of a suspected Chinese spy last week and the recovery of several drones in its waters.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines has observed a "pattern” in these recent developments, along with reports of foreign nationals using fake IDs and birth certificates, Navy spokesperson Roy Vincent Trinidad said at a briefing on Tuesday.
