00:00 In the ongoing investigation into the whereabouts of Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo,
00:04 some people are now saying that the Pogo issue is being removed from the Senate.
00:09 The senator who is leading the investigation in the news was reported by Mav Gonzalez.
00:15 In the middle of the questions about the identity of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo,
00:23 the Office of the Solicitor General is now looking for documents
00:27 to find out if there is a sufficient basis for the Co-Oronto proceedings
00:31 to see if it is right for the mayor to hold a position in the government.
00:35 Under the Local Government Code,
00:37 Filipino citizens should be eligible for local government positions.
00:42 According to Mayor Guo, according to the Senate,
00:45 her father is Chinese but her mother is Filipino.
00:48 That is why her mother is accused of being Filipino,
00:51 according to retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Vicente Mendoza.
00:55 Under the current or 87 Constitution,
00:59 it is enough that a person was born of a Filipino mother.
01:09 She doesn't need to elect a Filipino citizenship.
01:13 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel asked why the hearing on the Pogo issue was about Guo.
01:21 The discussion on wealth and poverty can be passed through Sol-Gen.
01:25 The same is true for her citizenship.
01:27 If possible, an ombudsman should be the one to discuss the matter.
01:31 According to Philippine-Chinese civic leader Teresita Angsi,
01:35 the Senate's investigation on Pogo has been delayed and it has become a mess.
01:39 That's why it's not good for the Senate to have what she called a "witch hunt" and a personal attack.
01:45 Senator Riza Contiveros said that it is not an attack on Filipinos with Chinese heritage
01:51 and that she is also a blood Chinese.
01:53 It's not a witch hunt or about politics,
01:56 but about national security, accountability and about Guo's ability to regulate the Pogo.
02:02 Although it's not confirmed, it's likely that Guo will still face an executive session of the Senate,
02:07 also invited by law enforcement agencies, including the Justice Department, PNP and National Security Agency.
02:14 Guo's camp, which is a Filipino, is supporting the mother of the mayor.
02:18 She's looking for her. I told her that she will release all of her albums next year.
02:24 We will answer her when we reach the soil.
02:27 They called on Guo.
02:29 She has a problem. She didn't see it.
02:32 That's why we released it so we can have DNA.
02:35 Mav Gonzalez is the news for GMA Integrated News.
