00:00Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, in those three countries that we are about to visit,

00:19Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who is now being investigated by the authorities on how

00:23she got out of the Philippines.

00:25Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin is now cancelling Guo's passport and his two siblings'

00:31passports, as well as the passport of the body of Pogo, who was raided in Porac, Pampanga.

00:35Sandra Aguinaldo is the witness.

00:40After being assured by the Senate that there is information that Guo left the country,

00:45Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo,

00:48Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin asked the DFA to cancel Guo's passport,

00:54his siblings, Wesley and Sheila, and the body of Pogo, who was raided in Porac, Pampanga.

01:02A warrant can be issued to cancel the passport of a fugitive under the New Philippine Passport Act.

01:09Guo is under arrest in the Senate and is facing a criminal complaint due to qualified human trafficking.

01:16But the question now is, where is Guo?

01:20His lawyer is holding his client's testimony that he is still in the Philippines.

01:26The same is the case of Attorney Elmer Galicia in the Notary Public for his counter affidavit.

01:33Did you personally witness the counter affidavit of your client on August 18?

01:39No, I didn't see it.

01:42But as a brother lawyer of Attorney Galicia,

01:46I have full confidence that he will not do something illegal or that he will put him in danger.

01:54Attorney Galicia explained earlier to the Department of Justice but refused to give his consent to the media.

02:01Prosecutors who helped him said that Galicia personally defended Guo when he notarized his counter affidavit.

02:10An anonymous person arranged for him to be notarized.

02:14On August 14, 2024, around 7 o'clock p.m., when he arrived at the office,

02:22there was a land cruiser on board of Ms. Alice Guo.

02:28Alice Guo talked to her downstairs of her office.

02:32She saw it and presented a driver's license to Alice Guo.

02:40But according to the information obtained by the Bureau of Immigration,

02:44on that day, Guo was not in the Philippines.

02:48Guo has no record of leaving the country,

02:50but the Malaysian Immigration has a record of Guo's arrival in Kuala Lumpur on July 18.

02:57He also has a record of his arrival in Singapore on July 21.

03:01And on August 18, he also has a record of his arrival in Batam, Indonesia.

03:06The most recent is August 18, which is the other day.

03:10He moved, including her group, with Sheila Leal-Guo,

03:15Wesley Leal-Guo, and Cassandra Lee Ong, to Indonesia.

03:21There are also photos of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Alice Guo,

03:27the siblings Sheila and Wesley,

03:30and Cassandra Ong when they passed through the immigration area in Singapore

03:34Before arriving in Singapore,

03:36they passed through Indonesia and Malaysia based on the information they obtained.

03:42According to the reports we received from our counterparts abroad,

03:47it is clear that Alice Guo has already left the country.

03:50Definitely, they will not get an airplane from the Philippines because they will be evacuated.

03:55What can happen is that they can hire a chartered plane from outside our country,

04:00and if there is an attack here, they will be the ones to be the ones to be back-loaded.

04:04So, there is no record.

04:06According to the immigration intel, Guo has a flight to return to the Philippines.

04:10Upon verification, there was no one who boarded that aircraft to return to the Philippines.

04:16And it got us asking the question,

04:19why does she have a ticket from outside to enter the country

04:23when our record states that she is still in the country?

04:27Even though Guo used a possible backdoor or illegal route to leave the country,

04:32the immigration is still investigating if it was from their own people.

04:37The DOJ also investigated Guo's departure from the NBI and immigration.

04:42According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimulya of the BIA,

04:46if there is a person involved in Guo's escape,

04:50they will come forward and tell the truth.

04:52If it is not personal, he will claim that there is an answer.

04:56They will also find out if Guo has a field paper and his lawyers

04:59regarding his departure from the country.

05:01I asked him, he said he has an assurance from me.

05:05He said that he is here in the Philippines.

05:08Well, personally, I did not see him here.

05:11The TNP has already contacted their foreign counterparts to spy on Guo.

05:16As for the NBI,

05:17they will be careful in confirming if the dismissal of their mayor

05:21was monitored when he left the country.

05:23They are also verifying the release of documents from Malaysia,

05:28especially this fake image of him entering their country.

05:32Malaysia is a very high-tech country.

05:36There can be no images.

05:38If you look at the counter,

05:40you can see your face, your two fingerprints,

05:44two index fingers.

05:46So, we are still checking the veracity of the report.

05:49If they have a fingerprint that they entered Malaysia,

05:53entered Indonesia,

05:55give us the fingerprint and we will check if it is him.

05:58The Komelek is still investigating the possible misrepresentation case against Guo.

06:04They are still waiting for the answer to the statement that was made against him last week.

06:10The Senate hearings on Guo's departure are still ongoing.

06:13One thing to investigate is how Guo left the country.

06:18For GMA Integrated News,

06:20Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.

06:25The 10-year-old boy in Taytay, Rizal was saved by more than 20 people.

06:30The 18-year-old suspect was arrested.

06:33EJ Gomez is the witness.

06:38The girl was in a car.

06:40She was walking.

06:42She sat behind a parked tricycle

06:45and returned to the side of the road she was sitting on.

06:48When a 10-year-old boy passed by,

06:51he suddenly stabbed her in the back.

06:55In the third stab, the victim was already lying down.

06:57The suspect stopped for a moment,

07:00looked around,

07:02and then another stab came from the boy.

07:05The suspect stood up and walked away

07:07and pointed to the people who saw the boy he was stabbing.

07:11He quickly ran away and picked up the victim, his mother.

07:15The crime took place in Barangay Dolores in Taytay, Rizal.

07:18According to the police, 22 stab wounds were inflicted on the victim.

07:22The suspect was stabbed by an unarmed victim

07:29using a bladed weapon,

07:32more or less six inches in length.

07:35There were two stab wounds on his right and left leg.

07:40His left leg was injured because he was stabbed.

07:47The boy was hospitalized.

07:49According to the father of the victim,

07:51the child was sent home from school.

07:55I was very angry.

07:56I was blank.

07:57As a parent, I was very sick.

07:59When you see what you're doing to your child,

08:03it's like you're hiding the pain in your heart.

08:08Based on the initial investigation,

08:10we can say that he's not on his own.

08:14When he was interviewed by our investigator,

08:18what he said was different and unclear.

08:22So there's something about the mindset of the suspect.

08:28The police is looking at the envious angle.

08:30Why are you crying?

08:32They left me because I don't have a child.

08:38Why did you do that to your child?

08:42What's the reason?

08:45I'm very jealous.

08:46It's not my fault that they left me.

08:51The suspect is facing a case of frustrated murder

08:54in the custodial facility of Taytay Police Station.

08:58For GMA Integrated News,

09:00EJ Gomez, your news.

09:04The Senate passed a proposed budget of more than Php 2 million

09:09for the Office of the Vice President for 2025.

09:12But before that,

09:13Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Arisa Ontiveros

09:17discussed the issue

09:19after being asked about the children's book

09:21that was written by Vice President

09:23and will cost the government Php 10 million.

09:26Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.

09:29Madam Chair, I don't understand the role of our resource person.

09:34I also don't understand the role of Senator Arisa Ontiveros.

09:38In the middle of the hearing of the Senate

09:41on the 2025 proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President,

09:44Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Arisa Ontiveros

09:48answered the question of Ontiveros

09:50about the children's book written by the Vice President

09:54and will cost the government Php 10 million.

09:58Madam Chair,

10:00this is an example of politicizing the budget hearing

10:05through the questions of a Senator.

10:08The problem is that my name is written in the book

10:12and we will give that book to the children.

10:16And those children have parents who will vote.

10:20And my name is written in the book.

10:24My name is written wherever the book will be given.

10:30Madam Chair, I don't understand the role of our resource person.

10:35It is a simple question.

10:38Again, this is politicizing.

10:42The VP mentioned the word vote.

10:44I did not say vote.

10:46Usually, our resource persons

10:49give the same institutional courtesy

10:52to the Legislature that we give to the Executive.

10:56I don't appreciate this kind of attitude.

10:58I also don't understand the attitude of Senator Arisa Ontiveros.

11:02And I do not appreciate...

11:04What did she say?

11:05I do not appreciate this kind of behavior and attitude.

11:10Also, even in asking for help from VP Sara,

11:14when she was the Mayor of Davao in 2016.

11:16Madam Chair, in 2016,

11:19Senator Arisa Ontiveros ran...

11:22Senator, how many times has she lost?

11:25Two times, Madam Chair.

11:27Okay, two times.

11:28She was afraid of her third loss.

11:31That's why she went to Davao and asked for help.

11:35She was the first to attack President Rodrigo Duterte.

11:40What do you call this kind of behavior?

11:43Finance Committee Chairperson Senator Grace Pong called here.

11:46I understand there's history among all of us here.

11:50But I think that we should really stick to the budget.

11:53The Office of the Vice President is asking for a budget of 2.037 billion pesos.

11:58According to Ms. Ontiveros,

12:00most of this is allocated to socioeconomic programs

12:03such as medical, financial, and education assistance.

12:06That's why the Vice President was asked

12:08if the OVP would consider

12:10putting funds in line agencies

12:13for the projects of the OVP that other agencies also have.

12:16To be in sync with the priorities of the Executive Department

12:20instead of having a separate but similar program.

12:25According to Ms. Bice,

12:26she experienced when she was involved with other agencies

12:29that their budget is being politicized.

12:32When we have...

12:35we refer or we give endorsement to the DSWD,

12:41most of the time the answer we get is no

12:44because it came from the Office of the Vice President and that's their enemy.

12:49Sometimes it's true that the assistance is being politicized

12:55for our fellow countrymen.

12:57The OVP is asking for a budget passed by the committee.

13:00But before the hearing ends, Ms. Bice has something to say.

13:04We would like to thank all the honorable members of the Senate

13:08for doing your work here in the Senate of the Philippines.

13:13Except...

13:15Just kidding, ma'am.

13:16Have a good afternoon.

13:18She's really a VP.

13:19Consistent, Madam Chair.

13:21After the hearing, Ms. Bice was informed by the media

13:24particularly about the impishment complaint against her.

13:28They're talking about it, even if they deny it,

13:31they're talking about it by members of the House of Representatives.

13:35It's openly discussed, the impeachment.

13:40What do they want to do?

13:42They want to make the Duterte family suffer from politics.

13:47And not only politics, but also personal.

13:50Because they included my husband, right?

13:52He's a private individual, but they included him in the harassment.

13:56She's not afraid to be impeached.

13:58She really doesn't have a plan to run as Vice President

14:01if Senator Aimee and President Bongbong Marcos

14:04don't help her.

14:07They said, we won't win

14:09if you don't help us in Mindanao and Visayas.

14:16If they make me leave here, or impeach me,

14:20it's none of my business.

14:23And when asked if she blames President Marcos...

14:28Do I regret helping...

14:32Do you want to answer the question?

14:34Or do you know the answer?

14:37For GMA Integrated News, I am Marisol Abduraman, your witness.
