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.

05:09For GMA Integrated News,

05:11I'm Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
