00:00Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque was alarmed by the contempt after Senator Risa Ontiveros' response to the Senate's hearing on the Pogo operation.
00:10Here's the news from Ma'am Gonzales.
00:13As I said earlier, excuse me, excuse me, no, no, no, no, no, excuse me.
00:17Ma'am, excuse me.
00:18No, no, no, no, no, excuse me, excuse me, Attorney Roque.
00:21I'm sorry, Madam, but I am a resource person invited.
00:24Yes, you are. Wait, wait, wait, let me finish.
00:26I was asked to answer.
00:27Yes, you already answered in excess.
00:28I don't understand. If you want me to stop, let me stop when I explain.
00:32Yes, Attorney.
00:33I thought we were engaged in the search for the truth.
00:35Attorney Roque, please be reminded to respect the chairperson.
00:39I apologize.
00:40I will cite you in contempt.
00:42The Senate Committee on Women's Chair Senator Risa Ontiveros and Attorney Harry Roque's response to the Senate's hearing on the Pogo operation was hot.
00:52Let us be fair because you have been insinuating I am a lawyer for lucky South.
00:56That is why.
00:57Excuse me, the chair has not been insinuating anything.
01:01The chair and the members of the committee have been asking questions based on the testimonies, sworn testimonies.
01:31One of those apprehended in the Tuba, Benguet home is actually a wanted fugitive in China.
01:48The Cambodian passport held by the man is fake.
01:53He has already defrauded 100,000 people.
01:57Roque admitted that he is one of the owners of the company where the targeted house is registered.
02:02I rented it when I left the government.
02:05I am not denying that, you know, that is a house that I have an interest in.
02:10I have lived in the house.
02:12What I am saying is that it was stolen and possession is now with the lessee.
02:18According to Roque, the man who robbed the house is a Chinese national who is legally in the country.
02:23And the man who was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration is a partner of the robber.
02:27I really want to see what evidence that the man is involved in the robbery.
02:32Because if not, there is really a concerted effort that I am here in Pogo that I am denying.
02:39Nancy Gamo, the accountant of Alice Go, also faced the Senate.
02:43There are really indicators of being a shell company.
02:48They don't pay taxes, they don't have BIR, they don't have operations like what you observed,
02:54they don't have employees and there is no remittance for the love.
02:58So, didn't you also think that it is problematic?
03:02No, because my only concern is my livelihood, to register, to process documents.
03:09So, it's not my obligation to assess or evaluate or whatever.
03:14Dennis Cunanan became the authorized representative of Lucky South 99 in Porak
03:19and Hong Sheng in Bamban, Pogo Hub.
03:21He said that he just walked the application of these in PagCorp as a consultant.
03:26Did you talk to Alice Go?
03:28She was introduced as the owner of the property at that time.
03:31Aside from you, who else is the connecting link between Hong Sheng and Lucky South 99?
03:35I suppose they know each other, Your Honor.
03:38Because they are in the same area and they are earning.
03:42Where is Alice Go now?
03:44Some sightings in Bulacan.
03:47Sightings only?
03:48Sightings only.
03:49She just looks like her.
03:51However, when the team went to the possible locations of the sightings,
03:59as of now, we know that no one was caught.
04:04If you cannot arrest her within a month, your budget might be affected.
04:10Not at all.
04:11The Solicitor General approved the co-oranto petition against Go
04:15to remove his visa and proclamation as a mayor.
04:19In the petition of the Solicitor General,
04:21only one person was arrested, Alice Leal Go and Go Hua Ping
04:25according to their fingerprints identified by the NBI.
04:28Go is not a Filipino citizen.
04:30According to the documents, Go Jianzhong and Lin Wenyi are the parents of Go Hua Ping.
04:35Angelito Go and Amelia Leal Go,
04:38only individuals were fabricated to hide Go Hua Ping's birth records.
04:43It was also certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority
04:46that there is no record of birth, marriage or death of Angelito and Amelia.
04:50Despite the lack of information,
04:52Go Hua Ping still applied and issued a Philippine passport under the name Alice Leal Go.
04:58According to the Solicitor General,
05:00Go's declaration that he is a Filipino in his documents
05:05is a violation of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
05:08Just like the passport and certificate of candidacy.
05:11Also, his refusal to give an honest answer to the Senate hearings.
05:16The GMA Integrated News is trying to get Go's testimony
05:20that according to the Bureau of Immigration, he is still in the Philippines.
05:23It is expected that 20,000 foreigners working in Pogo will leave the Philippines
05:28following the declaration of Pogo Ban by President Bongbong Marcos
05:32in his State of the Nation Address.
05:34According to the Bureau of Immigration,
05:3675% to 80% of them are Chinese National.
