00:00 President Bongbong Marcos is angry that he doesn't know Mayor Alice Guo.
00:05 Next, we have the people who appeared in the online picture where they are together.
00:09 First news, John Acanandang.
00:11 I know all the politicians. I don't know anyone.
00:19 We are wondering where this came from, why this happened. We don't know.
00:24 We need to investigate.
00:26 After the President said on May 16 that he doesn't know Mayor Alice Guo,
00:32 he is now including her in the illegal photo.
00:34 The pictures were uploaded to the President's Facebook page
00:38 where the President and Mayor Guo are together.
00:42 The pictures of the President and Mayor Guo were also posted on social media
00:46 with a timestamp of March 2022.
00:49 This picture was posted on the Facebook account of Mayor Guo
00:52 on March 8, 2022 in the proclamation rally of the UNITEAM.
00:55 The President said that the pictures have no meaning.
00:59 That proves nothing.
01:01 You know how many pictures I take during a campaign?
01:04 Maybe one thousand per day.
01:06 Everyone is asking for a selfie, you are not denying that.
01:11 So, it doesn't really mean anything.
01:14 The President has not yet given an update on the investigation of Mayor Guo
01:18 because the investigation of the Executive and Senate is not yet over.
01:21 Let's allow the Executive side and the Legislative side to do their work
01:27 and continue our investigations.
01:32 We don't have definitive conclusions yet.
01:36 First, the DILG said that they are recommending to the Office of the Ombudsman
01:40 to cancel the preventive suspension of the Mayor
01:42 to avoid any influence of this on their investigation and other agencies.
01:46 The DILG said that they have no power to suspend or remove the position of local officials.
01:51 The Ombudsman Samuel Martirez confirmed that he wrote the DILG.
01:55 What they received was a fact-finding report from the DILG
02:00 that did not state what needs to be done.
02:03 Martirez said that the copy of the report was not signed by the DILG.
02:08 The Ombudsman asked the DILG to file a complaint with a complete document
02:13 to investigate if the allegations are true.
02:17 The Governor of Tarlac did not know Guo before he became the Mayor.
02:22 When she talked to him about the issue,
02:25 Guo cried because of the Senate investigation.
02:29 The first time I saw her, she was crying and she was saying,
02:34 "I'm afraid, the Senate is different, can I face it?"
02:39 And he just said, "Be truthful, prepare your documents."
02:43 Guo is a party member of the National People's Coalition.
02:47 Their Chairman, former Senator Tito Soto, said that
02:50 there is no discussion now to remove Guo from the party
02:52 amidst the controversy that is surrounding him.
02:55 As of now, there is no talk to that effect.
02:58 As I said, we will leave it to the Chairman of the party in the province.
03:05 On Wednesday, the Senate will continue to investigate the illegal arrest of Guo in Bamban, Tarlac.
03:10 His lawyer said that Guo will be brought back.
03:13 This is the first news.
