Transcript

00:00dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Gua has been successful in evading the law

00:04despite all efforts to track her down and if the latest revelation by a

00:08senator is to be believed may no longer even be in the country considering the

00:14numerous cases that have been filed against the former local chief executive

00:18her exact whereabouts become even more important not only for the Senate but

00:22for all the other concerned agencies. Daniel Manalastas has more.

00:29Senator Risa Hontiveros in today's Senate plenary session revealed that

00:34dismissed Mayor Alice Gua has allegedly left the country based on her latest

00:39information. That this person was already in fact out of the country on July 18,

00:482024 to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

00:52I will show this document as proof that Alice Gua entered Malaysia.

01:01She entered the country on 12-17, 13 seconds military time on July 18,

01:10which means she left the Philippines on the night of July 17.

01:17Mr. President, I cannot deny that this is her because this is a match to her

01:24Philippine passport that I will flash now. Thank you very much to NBI for this information.

01:32They will continue to track down Alice Gua.

01:35According to Hontiveros, she also has information that Gua flew to Singapore.

01:40Where they met her parents, Lin Wenye and Guo Jianzhong.

01:48The couple flew in from China on July 28, 2024.

01:54They had a meeting there with Wesley Guo and Cassandra Ong.

02:01For us to fry in our own oil.

02:05According to Department of Justice, as far as they know,

02:09Guo is still in the country.

02:11Right now, the DOJ awaits the official verification from the NBI.

02:16The DOJ said it continues to gather information from the Bureau of Immigration as well.

02:21Senator Grace Poe said there's a need to check and validate the records.

02:25For example, if CAAP has a record of all departures from the Philippines and from where,

02:33because I'm sure we have a list.

02:36If they went to Malaysia, how many flights will go to Malaysia?

02:41Whether it's private or a passenger plane, we should be able to determine that.

02:47For Senator Gingoya Estrada, meanwhile, if Guo indeed chartered a plane in her escape,

02:52it wasn't near anywhere near the NIA.

02:56This is a well-known person.

02:59She was too exposed on TV.

03:01So I don't think Mayor Alice Guo chartered a plane to the NIA.

03:06Maybe she chartered a plane to another small airport where people are quiet.
