00:00A few times hackers targeted the cellphone of the Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romualdez

00:06in the middle of the talks between the Philippines and America on security issues.

00:11I.K. Romualdez, this information came from the intelligence community of America.

00:15First news, J.P. Soriano.

00:18While forming the largest alliance between the United States and the Philippines

00:27on maritime security and strengthening cooperation in the West Philippine Sea,

00:33Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romualdez expressed his concern about a possible cyber attack

00:40which is one of the leading and leading in negotiations.

00:44Our relationship with the United States is a very important one

00:48vis-a-vis the challenges that we face right now in the West Philippine Sea.

00:52So obviously we're vulnerable to this type of cyber attack.

00:56In a forum at a university in the United States,

01:00Romualdez mentioned that he targeted his cellphone based on information from the intelligence community in America.

01:08The information was passed on to me by our friends in the American intelligence community

01:13that I was one of those targets for being hacked, my telephone.

01:18And so I remember, I'm sure probably the Chinese ambassador, Ambassador Wang, does not remember,

01:25but in one of those occasions, I think it was in Bandian or in Malacanang,

01:31I said it in jest, it was just a joke, but I meant it,

01:37that my phones are being hacked and I can't afford to change my phones anymore.

01:42In the statement of the Chinese embassy in the Philippines,

01:45Wang denied what Romualdez said.

01:48It has been a long time since Romualdez has seen Wang.

01:52Wang did not know where Romualdez got his statements regarding the Chinese hacking issue.

01:58Romualdez responded to this.

02:01Of course, it will be denied.

02:04It could be private Chinese hackers, we don't know, but the fact of the matter is,

02:09and now we have stories in the Philippines about espionage, the Chinese spies that are roaming around.

02:16As part of the entire agreement between the United States and the Philippines in recent months,

02:20the U.S. Rotational Force Posture of the United States under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, or EDCA,

02:27is the historic trilateral summit of the United States, Japan, and the Philippines in Washington.

02:33In these meetings, some of the most concrete actions and assistance of the United States

02:38to ensure the free and safe navigation of the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea.

02:44And because he is listening to his phone, Romualdez said that he needs to travel to the Philippines

02:52so that he can personally tell President Bongbong Marcos some very important information.

02:58On very important matters that I have to report to the President,

03:01I have occasionally flown back to the Philippines, a 24-hour flight to the Philippines,

03:09at my own personal expense, to be able to report to him on matters of paramount concern for our security.

03:18Last week, some Chinese nationals who are in the Philippines were arrested by the NBI

03:24because of allegations of espionage.

03:27The Chinese embassy called it just a speculation.

03:32This is the first news, J.P. Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
