03:03The owner of the house is Secretary Roque.
03:04Secretary Roque, do you own that house?
03:07The house that you are talking about in Tubabingit is registered to a corporation.
03:12I owned it when I left the government.
03:15And I do have an interest in the corporation that owns it.
03:18But I do not have possession of that house.
03:22Because as of January of 2024, it was sold by the corporation.
03:26Suspended Mayor Alice Guo is still not responding despite the arrest order against her.
03:32That is why some Senators are already dismayed.
03:35According to the BI, Guo is still in the Philippines.
03:38The Madam Chairperson has made statements that Mayor Guo has been very active on Facebook.
03:47Didn't you trace her IP address?
03:52Efforts are being done by our cybercrime group.
03:54If you cannot arrest her within a month, your budget might be affected.
03:59Yes, sir. We will do our best.
04:01The Senators also insisted that it will be the government's duty to those affected by the ban on Guo.
04:08Because when our President gave a directive that there should be no illegal Guo,
04:14he also issued a statement that there are many affected here.
04:19So we're starting with Dole.
04:21Secretary Benny Laguesma and I are having lunch tomorrow.
04:25And we will be discussing the status of the close to 40,000 who will be displaced.
04:36And on Thursday, I just got word prior to the hearing that Secretary Boeing Rimulya is calling for a meeting
04:47together with PACCOR, the PAOC, the Bureau of Immigration, and the Department of Justice.
04:56Nancy Gamo also spoke during the hearing.
04:58She said that she is a freelance accountant of Guo.
05:01She used to be a client of Mayor Guo, but only per transaction basis or per project.
05:06Ma'am, you said earlier that since 2012, you have been a client of Alice Guo. Is that correct?
05:16Yes, sir.
05:17She is not related to Alice Guo?
05:19She is just Alice Guo.
05:22But in one of our hearings, when she came here, she flatly denied that she knows you.
05:31She said that you don't know each other. What can you say about that?
05:37She is lying.
05:39Alice Guo is not my client.
05:42Now, she is the one who referred me.
05:46I talked to Hong Sheng. She is the one.
05:49And then please assist her person.
05:52For every document that I need for the incorporation of the company, her person is the one who provides it to me.
06:00Senators Gamo also released the person who was the first to be laughed at by the arrest order.
