THE Palace on Thursday urged government employees to tighten security protocols following the discovery of individuals allegedly involved in espionage and Chinese-led operations within the country.

“The Palace reminds all government personnel to be cautious and vigilant,” Palace Press Officer Clarissa A. Castro said in a statement in Filipino.

“Guard your offices, protect sensitive government information, and ensure that it is not compromised by actors who may pose a threat to national security,” she added.

This comes after the National Security Council (NSC) confirmed on Wednesday that authorities uncovered a serious national security matter involving espionage and foreign-directed malign activities. NSC spokesperson Assistant Director General Cornelio H. Valencia, Jr. said that the individuals involved have been dealt with under government counterintelligence programs.

The Palace noted that these measures are part of the Insider Threat Program, which protects sensitive government information from espionage, coercion, or negligent compromise. — Erika Mae P. Sinaking
