MANILA: The Philippines said on Saturday (April 5) the supposed confessions of three Filipinos arrested by China for alleged espionage appear to have been "scripted" and urged Beijing to respect their rights.
Manila's reaction came two days after Beijing said it had "destroyed" an intelligence network set up by a Philippine espionage agency and had arrested three Filipino spies.
