00:00Attorney Harry Roque will be contempted after he was able to answer Senator Risa Ontiveros in the Senate hearing on the POGOs.
00:11The Solicitor General approved their co-warrantor petition against suspended Mayor Alice Guo
00:17to revoke the proclamation to her as the Mayor of Bamban, Tarlac.
00:22Witnessed by Mav Gonzalez.
00:25Actually, as I said earlier, excuse me, excuse me, no, no, no, no, no, excuse me.
00:28Ma'am, excuse me.
00:29No, no, no, no, no, excuse me, excuse me, Attorney Roque.
00:32I'm sorry, Madam, but I am a resource person invited.
00:35Yes, you are. Wait, wait, let me finish.
00:37I was asked to answer.
00:38Yes, you already answered in excess.
00:40If you want me to stop, let me stop when I'm explaining.
00:43Yes, Attorney.
00:44I thought we were engaged in the search for the truth.
00:46Attorney Roque, please be reminded to respect the chairperson.
00:50I apologize.
00:51I will cite you in contempt.
00:54The Senate Committee on Women's Chair Sen. Risa Contiveros and Attorney Harry Roque's response to the Senate hearing on the Pogos.
01:03Let us be fair because you have been insinuating I am a lawyer for Lakis Taw.
01:07That is why.
01:08Excuse me, the chair has not been insinuating anything.
01:12The chair and the members of the committee have been asking questions based on the testimonies, sworn testimonies.
01:21Roque was summoned to the hearing after his name was found in the raid of the Lucky South 99 Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
01:29Roque denied that he is a lawyer of Lucky South 99.
01:32Roque's client is the Whirlwind Corporation, which owns the land owned by Pogo Hub.
01:38Roque was also asked about the looting of his name,
01:42the owner of the house in Tuba, Benguet, where the two foreign-connected people were arrested in Pogo, Mambantarlak, the town of suspended Mayor Alice Guo.
01:51One of those apprehended in the Tuba, Benguet home is actually a wanted fugitive in China.
01:59The Cambodian passport held by the man is fake.
02:05He has already defrauded 100,000 people.
02:09Roque admitted that he is one of the owners of the company where the targeted house is registered.
02:14I rented it when I left the government.
02:17I am not denying that, you know, that is a house that I have an interest in.
02:22I have lived in the house.
02:24What I am saying is that it was looted.
02:27And possession is now with the lessee.
02:30According to Roque, the person who looted the house is a Chinese national who is legally in the country.
02:35And the man who was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration is a partner of Ubu Upa.
02:39I really want to see the evidence that the man is involved in looting.
02:43Because if not, there is a concerted effort that I am here in Pogo that I am denying.
02:51Nancy Gamo, Alice Guo's accountant, also faced the Senate.
02:55There are really indicators of being shell companies only.
03:00They do not pay taxes, BIR.
03:02There are no operations as you observed.
03:05There are also no employees and there is no remittance for love.
03:09So, didn't you also think that it is a bit problematic?
03:13No, because my only concern is my livelihood to register, to process documents.
03:20So, it's not my obligation to assess or evaluate or whatever.
03:26Dennis Gunana, who became the authorized representative of Lucky South 99 in Pora,
03:30and Hong Sheng, who is in Bamban, Pogo Hub,
03:33said that he just walked the application of these in Pagcor as a consultant.
03:37But where is Alice Guo now?
03:40The Solicitor General approved the Koh Waranto petition against Guo
03:44to remove the visa, the proclamation to him as a mayor.
03:48In the petition of the Solicitor General,
03:50only one person, Alice Leal-Guo and Guo Hua-Ping,
03:54were included in the petition based on their fingerprints that were identified by the NBI.
03:57Guo is not a Filipino citizen.
03:59Based on the documents,
04:01Guo Jianzhong and Lin Wenyi are the parents of Guo Hua-Ping.
04:04Angelito Guo and Amelia Leal-Guo were invented by individuals
04:09who were forced to hide the birth records of Guo Hua-Ping.
04:13The Philippine Statistics Authority also certified that
04:16there is no birth, marriage, or death record of Angelito and Amelia.
04:20Despite the small amount of information,
04:22Guo Hua-Ping still applied and issued the Philippine passport
04:26under the name of Alice Leal-Guo.
04:28According to the Solicitor General,
04:30Guo's declaration that he is a Filipino in his documents,
04:33such as the passport and certificate of candidacy,
04:36can be considered a serious dishonesty or a serious lie.
04:40Likewise, his hard work to provide an honest answer to the Senate hearings
04:45was praised by the GMA Integrated News.
04:47According to the Bureau of Immigration,
04:49Guo is still in the Philippines.
04:52It is expected that 20,000 Filipinos working in Pogo will leave the Philippines
04:57after President Bongbong Marcos declared Pogo Ban
05:01in his State of the Nation Address.
05:03According to the Bureau of Immigration,
05:0575% to 80% of them are Chinese nationals.
