The New Anti‑Espionage Act creates new crimes for stealing or mishandling classified information, for foreign‑backed interference in politics, and for using surveillance tools against the government. It applies to acts done inside or outside the Philippines, imposes life‑sentence penalties for the most serious offenses, and gives the National Security Council power to block online content and order wiretaps.
