Dela Rosa added that the proliferation of unlicensed handguns held by foreign nationals was a security problem.
Apart from the two Chinese nationals who were arrested with unlicensed firearms, Tabernilla said they also apprehended another Chinese national, Lie Wang, in a follow-up operation.Meanwhile, Sen. Ejercito raised the possibility that Chinese syndicates were masquerading as POGOs so they could enter the country and abduct victims.
