Let’s remember in good times what we have learned in days of trouble.

After discovering telecommunications equipment at a site initially suspected to be an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator hub, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is now investigating whether the three Chinese nationals arrested during Friday’s raid in Calamba City are involved in espionage.

A raid that saved nearly three dozen Indonesians from detention at the barracks of a former Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) site also saved the life of a Chinese national held and tortured by members of a kidnapping syndicate at a nearby safe house.
