Transcript
00:00The office of the Solicitor General approved the co-warrantor petition to remove the visa from Alice Guo's proclamation as the mayor of Mambantarlac.
00:10The former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque brought the contempt after Senator Arisa Ontiveros was able to respond to the Senate hearing.
00:19We have the first news, Ma'am Gonzales.
00:23Actually, as I said earlier, excuse me, excuse me, no, no, no, no, no, excuse me.
00:27Ma'am, excuse me.
00:28No, no, no, no, no, excuse me, excuse me, Attorney Roque.
00:31I'm sorry, Madam, but I am a resource person invited.
00:34Yes, you are. Wait, wait, let me finish.
00:36I was asked to answer.
00:37Yes, you already answered in excess.
00:39If you want me to stop, let me stop when I'm explaining.
00:42Yes, Attorney.
00:43I thought we were engaged in the search for the truth.
00:45Attorney Roque, please be reminded to respect the chairperson.
00:49I apologize.
00:50I will cite you in contempt.
00:52The Senate Committee on Women's Chair, Senator Arisa Ontiveros, and Attorney Harry Roque's response to the Senate hearing regarding the Pogos.
01:02Let us be fair because you have been insinuating I am a lawyer for Lucky South.
01:06That is why.
01:07Excuse me.
01:08The chair has not been insinuating anything.
01:11The chair and the members of the committee have been asking questions based on the testimonies, sworn testimonies.
01:41One of those apprehended in the Tuba, Benguet home is actually a wanted fugitive in China.
01:58The Cambodian passport held by the man is fake.
02:04He has already defrauded 100,000 people.
02:07Roque admitted that he is one of the owners of the company where the targeted house is registered.
02:12I lived there when I left the government.
02:15I am not denying that, you know, that is a house that I have an interest in.
02:20I have lived in the house.
02:22What I am saying is that it was stolen.
02:25And possession is now with the lessee.
02:28According to Roque, the person who stole the house is a Chinese national who is legally in the country.
02:34And the man who was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration is a partner of Umuupa.
02:38I really want to see what evidence that the man is involved in a gang.
02:42Because if not, there is really a concerted effort that I am here in Pogo that I am denying.
02:50Nancy Gamo, the accountant of Alice Go, also faced the Senate.
02:54There are really indicators of being shell companies only.
02:58They do not pay taxes, no BIR, no operations as you observed,
03:04no employees, and no remittance for love.
03:08So, didn't you also think that it was problematic?
03:12No, because my only concern is my livelihood, to register, to process documents.
03:19So, it's not my obligation to assess or evaluate or whatever.
03:25Dennis Cunanan, who became the authorized representative of Lucky South 99 in Porac,
03:29and Hong Sheng, who is in Bamban, Pogo Hub,
03:32said that he just walked the application of these in PagCorp as a consultant.
03:36Did you talk to Alice Go?
03:38She was introduced as the owner of the property at that time.
03:41Aside from you, who else is the connecting link between Hong Sheng and Lucky South 99?
03:46I suppose they know each other, Your Honor.
03:48Because they are in the same area and they are earning.
03:52But where is Alice Go now?
03:54Some sightings in Bulacan.
03:57Sightings only?
03:59Sightings only.
04:00She just looks like her.
04:01However, when the team went to the possible locations of the sightings,
04:09as of now, we know that no one was caught.
04:14If you cannot arrest her within a month, your budget might be affected.
04:19Not yet, Your Honor.
04:22The Solicitor General issued a coerent petition against Go
04:26to remove his visa and proclamation as a mayor.
04:30In the petition of the Solicitor General,
04:32only one person was arrested, Alice Leal Go and Go Hua Ping
04:35based on their fingerprints identified by the NBI.
04:38Go is not a Filipino citizen.
04:40Based on the documents,
04:42Go Jianzhong and Lin Wenyi are the parents of Go Hua Ping.
04:46Angelito Go and Amelia Leal Go
04:48were invented by individuals who were forced
04:51to hide Go Hua Ping's birth records.
04:54It was also certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority
04:57that Angelito and Amelia have no birth, marriage or death records.
05:01Despite the hidden information,
05:03Go Hua Ping still applied and issued a Philippine passport
05:06under the name of Alice Leal Go.
05:09According to the Solicitor General,
05:11Go's declaration that he is a Filipino
05:14in his documents,
05:16such as his passport and Certificate of Candidacy,
05:19is considered a serious dishonesty or falsehood.
05:22Also, his determination to give an honest answer
05:25to the Senate hearings.
05:27GMA Integrated News is also trying to get Go's statement
05:30that according to the Bureau of Immigration,
05:32he is still in the Philippines.
05:34It is expected that 20,000 foreigners
05:37who work in the Philippines will leave the Philippines
05:40after President Bongbong Marcos
05:42declared his resignation in his State of the Nation Address.
05:45According to the Bureau of Immigration,
05:4775% to 80% of them are Chinese nationals.
05:50This is the first news.
