00:00In front of the country's surprise, some senators believe that Alice Guo will still be held accountable for her actions.
00:09According to the Philippine Police, she is ready to help the Bureau of Immigration.
00:16Daniel Banalastas is in the center of the news.
00:21Although there is an allegation that Dismiss Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo is no longer in the country,
00:26it seems that she is still in Asunto from the senators.
00:29According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, Guo's decision to stay in the country should not be based on the government's persecution of her.
00:37This is a quick setback for the country, but the case should continue and Guo's world is shrinking, so she will not be caught for a long time.
00:47Senator Risa Hontiveros was asked if it is time to declare the former mayor as a fugitive.
00:53I think there are legal requirements for that. Perhaps when the first case is matured against her DOJ for qualified trafficking of persons,
01:06it might be heard up to that point.
01:09According to the Commission on Elections, the complaint of misrepresentation against Guo is still ongoing.
01:15According to the Communist Chairman George Erwin Garcia, the counter affidavit of Guo's camp is just waiting to be submitted.
01:23The Comelec, just like the prosecutorial offices of our government, are always waiting for the respondents.
01:31It means that our jurisdiction cannot be ignored just because there is no answer or no evidence.
01:40At all costs, the case that we have should have a resolution.
01:44The Philippine National Police is ready to help in the investigation of the Bureau of Immigration.
01:50Considering that the case is very high-profile and that almost everyone knows and monitors what is happening to Mayor Guo,
01:59I think, with due respect to our immigration officers, it would be prudent on their part to report if there is indeed a sighting,
02:08or at least an attempt, of a person leaving the country.
02:12Although she did not have a hold departure order, but the mere fact that she was placed in the Immigration Lookout Bulletin,
02:19it would suffice to at least monitor her attempt to leave the country.
02:24But according to the BI, it is possible that Guo got out of the sight of the immigration officers.
02:29It is also possible that Guo used a fake stamp to get out of the country.
