MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” Lacson has renewed his push for a stronger anti-espionage law following confirmed reports of foreign espionage activities in the country.
Lacson said in a DZRH interview on Thursday, March 12, that he filed Senate Bill No. 33 seeking amendments to the anti-espionage law as early as July last year, but the proposed measure is still pending before the Senate committee on national defense and security, peace, unification and reconciliation.
“It was one of the first bills I filed in the 20th Congress, to update our anti-espionage law. Our current law is a Commonwealth Act dating back to 1941, whose penalties are too light. So I say we need to strengthen the law to address modern-day threats,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino in an interview on DZRH radio.
“Our world has changed, and spying is detrimental to our national security,” he added.
SB 33 seeks to strengthen and modernize the country’s anti-espionage laws through stiffer penalties, and an expanded coverage to include new technologies.
Under Lacson’s proposal, those found guilty of espionage and those who aid and abet them face life imprisonment without parole and fines ranging from P5 million to P20 million.
Rappler recently ran a three-part investigative series that examines how Filipinos with access to sensitive security information and documents were recruited to provide information to Chinese nationals.
The National Security Council confirmed the reports and said spying operations “linked” to China have been “addressed and terminated.” – Rappler.com

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO
The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
