00:00Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez says China tapped his

00:05phone a number of times already.

00:08Romualdez says he joked with the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines, Wang Silian, saying he

00:12has to stop doing this because he can't afford to keep buying new phones.

00:16Recalling his conversation with Silian, he says the Chinese ambassador just, quote, laughed

00:20it off.

00:21Cyber security is a major problem right now in the Philippines.

00:26I guess it's something that we have to just have to live with for now, but we have to

00:31fight back in the sense that we cannot allow this to just go on.

00:37Asked about Romualdez's statement, Wang says they've, quote, never touched upon the so-called

00:41Chinese hacking issue.
