The House quad committee’s investigation into Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos) and drug-related issues has led to a proposal for the Espionage Law of 2024. This bill seeks to amend the 1932 Revised Penal Code, proposing harsher penalties for espionage crimes, including up to 20 years of imprisonment. House Bill (HB) No. 10998, coauthored by various lawmakers, aims to address gaps in national security legislation. Another related bill, HB No. 11040, seeks to criminalize foreign interference in Philippine politics.
