THE alleged foreign spies recently arrested by authorities have seemingly embedded themselves to society.
Thus stated the Bureau of Immigration (BI), at it conducted an investigation into the records of the alleged spies and found that they have all been here for decades, some as early as 2002.
The BI said they have been holding legal statuses and have lived in the country for a long time before they were found to be doing suspicious activities by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) headed by Director Jaime Santiago and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
Some of those arrested had working visas linked to companies in San Juan and Manila, while others were married to Filipinas, the BI said, as it urged citizens to report to authorities any suspicious activities of foreign nationals that might be detrimental to national security.
The BI is also closely working with the Department of Justice (DOJ), NBI and the AFP to collate information about the suspects.
