Mar Roxas alarmed by ZTE's record

Senator Mar Roxas is alarmed by the news reports that ZTE Corporation, the Chinese group that the government has agreed to have a contract with establishing a national broadband in the Philippines' government agencies. He wants to have a deeper probe on the ZTE deal amid spying claims from France, US, UK and Germany. He said that if ZTE Corporation would control the government's database, our country would be in a serious trouble, as what the news report said that the German government's database was hacked by no less than, ZTE Corporation.

Here are the news reports which involved ZTE in spying claims:
