The Philippines is among the countries being secretly monitored by a telecommunications spying program of the US National Security Agency (NSA), as revealed by whistleblower and fugitive1 Edward Snowden.

美国“棱镜门”揭秘者爱德华·斯诺登披露的文件显示，称菲律宾也在美国安局秘密监控的国家之列。
 
Online publication The Intercept2, a platform releasing Snowden's leaks, alleged3 in a post on Tuesday (Manila time) that NSA's cutting-edge surveillance program MYSTIC collects "metadata（元数据）" and content from mobile networks in the Caribbean, Mexico, Kenya, the Philippines and another unnamed country.
 
"All told, the NSA is using MYSTIC to gather personal data on mobile calls placed in countries with a combined population of more than 250 million people," The Intercept writers Ryan Devereaux, Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras said in the report.
 
Metadata are information revealing message or call's time stamp, source and destination--information collected by MYSTIC that may be authorized4 by the host country and even by the telecommunications firms. The program also offers "near real-time, complete access to the additional target country's GSM networks," according to the document leaked by Snowden.
 
Another classified document, provided by Snowden, provides a NSA Special Source Operations' description of MYSTIC as a "program for embedded5 collection systems overtly6 installed on target networks predominantly for collection and processing of wireless/mobile communications networks."
 
There is no indication whether MYSTIC also intercepts7 phone calls and voice data in the Philippines, but it does pull text messaging data.
 
The Intercept said it asked NSA to comment, but it only said it does not collect foreign intelligence in an arbitrary and unconstrained way as it follows protocols8 to protect people's privacy. Philippine laws prohibit wire tapping and related violations9 not authorized by all parties concerned.
