Transcript

00:00This is the first news, first news.

00:08Igan, one of the people under the inquest proceedings this morning is Cassandra Leong and the sister of the former Mayor Alice Guo, Sheila Guo,

00:21who is now in custody of the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI.

00:25Details in the first news live of James Agustin.

00:30James.

00:35Igan, good morning.

00:36The Special Detention Room of Sheila Guo and Cassandra Leong is now under the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation.

00:48At 10.22 p.m., the National Bureau of Investigation arrived in Quezon City.

00:53The convoy is led by Sheila Guo, the sister of the former Mayor Alice Guo and Cassandra Leong,

01:00who was arrested by the raid on Porac, Pampanga, located in South 99.

01:05Attorney Ferdinand Topacio, who is the legal counsel of Leong, also arrived.

01:09According to Topacio, the two people are in a Special Detention Room with an aircon and a folding chair.

01:15The authorities are also watching them closely.

01:18There is a Special Detention Room on the 8th floor.

01:22My fearless forecast here, after a long holiday, since they have a standing warrant emanating from the House of Representatives,

01:35is that they will get a sergeant-at-arms to bring the house to the detention center.

01:43Topacio said that his client, Ong, is in a good condition. He even bought face masks and food.

01:50She's okay. She's in high spirits. She's convinced that she has done nothing wrong but to try to do legitimate business.

01:59Ong was arrested and brought to the Inquest Proceedings later at 8 a.m.

02:03The information that was given to me is that my client will be subject to inquest for obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive.

02:15Where will they be inquested?

02:17Either here or to the DOJ.

02:19Topacio first questioned why his client will be held in the custody of the NBI.

02:25In my humble opinion, the House of Representatives should have taken custody through the sergeant-at-arms.

02:33The problem is, it's a long weekend. I think all of our congressmen are on vacation. So he's here.

02:39According to Topacio, Sheila Guo has her own lawyer, whom she saw walking around last night.

02:45The media did not talk about Guo's lawyer.

02:53Meanwhile, this morning, we have the Inquest Proceedings that will be conducted by Cassandra Lee Ong.

02:59Before we continue, we have seen members of the Bureau of Immigration heading to the headquarters of the NBI.

03:06That's the first news. From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for the German Integrated News.

03:11In the last investigation of Cassandra Lee Ong and Sheila Guo,

03:14the authorities said that there's a strong evidence that there's a connection between the Pogo Hubs in Porak, Pampanga and Mambantarlak.

03:21Another sister of Alice Guo, Wesley, is still being searched.

03:25She's no longer in Indonesia, according to the officials there.

03:29The former mayor is also not known where she is now.

03:32We have the first news, Salima Refran.

03:36Based on the documents and intelligence reports, it's not a coincidence that she's not from the Philippines,

03:45but from Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia.

03:48Dismissed by Mambantarlak Mayor Alice Guo when she arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 18.

03:55On July 21, a passenger obtained this picture of Guo at Kuala Lumpur Airport with Cassandra Ong.

04:02She was laughed at by the Pogo Hubs in Porak, Pampanga, which is located in Lucky South 99.

04:07They were supposed to fly to Singapore.

04:10Guo, Ong and the former mayors, Sheila and Wesley, were in Singapore for almost a month

04:17before they flew to Batam, Indonesia on a ferry last Sunday, August 18.

04:23The news is there in Indonesia and we have verified reports already on this matter.

04:28But our people are working on this matter right now.

04:33According to foreign counterparts in the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

04:38Guo's brother, Wesley, is no longer in Indonesia.

04:42Apparently, Wesley Guo's brother is in another country where he was disclosed.

04:49Now, they couldn't find Alice Lial Guo in Batam, Indonesia.

04:55But they didn't say that she was already out of the country.

04:59We strongly believe that Alice Lial Guo is still in Indonesia.

05:07In the last meeting between Guo's brother, Sheila, and Ong in Indonesia,

05:12the connection between Zunyuan Technologies in Bambang and Lucky South 99 in Porak became clearer.

05:18Well, we found a connection between Alice Guo and Cassandra Leong.

05:25A definite connection was found by our people.

05:31Which means that Bambang and Porak are closely related.

05:37And remember that despite all the denials of former Secretary Roque,

05:45it appears that they're really intimately related.

05:49Cassandra Leong, a very important person of interest for Lucky South 99 in Porak,

06:02and Alice Lial Guo, another very important person of interest for Bambang in Zunyuan.

06:09So these highlights underscore our contention.

06:13We've been saying for a long time that these two scum farms are related.

06:18They belong to the same criminal organization, Cassandra Leong and Alice Lial Guo or Guo Ping.

06:28On Tuesday, August 20, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin ordered the cancellation of the passport of Guo and his siblings and Ong.

06:37But according to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia,

06:40it's not easy to cancel the passport of these two because there might be a problem in sending them home.

06:47That's even if it's fraudulent or they got their passports in the wrong way.

06:52It was not found advisable also to treat it summarily because if the passports are cancelled immediately,

07:02then how can you make them travel back to the country?

07:06You will have to issue a travel document.

07:08It should be an admission that they are Filipino citizens.

07:11This is the first news in Nima Refran for GMA Integrated News.

07:17Congratulations on the arrest of Cassandra Leong and her siblings, Bambang, Alice Lial Guo, and Sheila Guo.

07:24And also on the search for the former mayor, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.

07:28Good morning, Senator.

07:30Good morning to our listeners.

07:32Justice Secretary Remulia said that it's not a priority for Sheila Guo to face the Senate hearing

07:38because they will be subject to legal procedures.

07:41Did you talk about this?

07:45The Senate, DOJ and BI talked about this.

07:50The House of Representatives also talked about the custody and transportation of two of Alice Guo's children,

08:06Sheila Guo and Cassandra Ong.

08:09They talked about how they will be transported to the Senate hearings and House hearings.

08:16These two institutions have a pending arrest order.

08:21Now, they are under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration and DOJ for the processing of their documents and other cases.

08:35So there will not be a conflict.

08:37In other words, because these agencies and institutions talked about the process and time of their presence.

08:48Is there a warrant for Sheila Guo to go to the Senate?

08:51There is. She has an arrest order.

08:54I remember early in the issue, as early as May, there was an arrest order.

09:03Let's talk about the role of Sheila Guo in these pogohubs in Boracay or Mamban, which are now related.

09:12Sheila Guo is a close brother of Guo Huaping.

09:16We can see that in Guo family businesses, she has a high position there.

09:22She's either treasurer or corporate secretary.

09:25She and Alice Guo are the president of the companies.

09:30We can see that they are not only close brothers, but they also work together.

09:35Their businesses were established and are related to the pogohubs in Mamban.

09:45What about Cassandra Lee Ong?

09:48Just to refresh, what is the connection between Cassandra and Ong?

09:53We can see that when they were arrested, they were together.

09:58Cassandra Lee Ong and the Guo family are not different. They are very close.

10:03They both ran away. They both ran away to Singapore.

10:06They both went to Indonesia to hide.

10:10There's an allegation that Alice Guo's brother, Wesley Guo, is Cassandra Ong's girlfriend.

10:20That's why they're that close.

10:22Cassandra Ong is the center of the pogohubs in Boracay.

10:26She's the representative of Lucky South 99.

10:29She's also one of the officials of World Wind Corporation,

10:34which owns the land where the pogohubs in Boracay are located.

10:43In this development, Senator Gatchalian, do you have information that Alice and Wesley Guo will be arrested or brought back to the Philippines?

10:53I'm sure that Alice Guo and Wesley Guo and their other companions will be arrested in Indonesia, in Bantang.

11:03Because the authorities there are no longer alerted and they can't escape or go around that area.

11:12It's a matter of time that they will be arrested and brought back to our country.

11:17It's still questionable as to how they got out of the Philippines.

11:22There are three backdoors mentioned by the POC.

11:24Do you have information as to what backdoors they used?

11:28Did they suddenly move to Singapore or Indonesia?

11:32You're right on that.

11:34The Philippines to Indonesia or Philippines to Malaysia leg, that's what's missing.

11:41There are documents that refer to their travels from Indonesia to Malaysia, Malaysia to Singapore, Singapore to Indonesia again.

11:56There are documents like that.

11:58But the documents don't show how they went from the Philippines to Indonesia or Malaysia.

12:07It's not clear where they landed.

12:09That's what we're checking.

12:11We're not only checking the backdoors, we're also checking the chartered flights and private planes.

12:18These documents can also be doctored so that the person who didn't leave the Philippines is wrong.

12:29You mentioned earlier that it's not true that Guo went to a notary public.

12:33There's a CCTV footage from August 14.

12:38Is there evidence to prove this Senator?

12:42It's very clear that Guo left the Philippines on August 14.

12:46The lawyer, Atty. Galicia, needs to answer this question.

12:57If Alice Guo is not here, why is she saying that she saw Alice Guo?

13:04She needs to explain what happened.

13:10It's clear that Alice Guo is not here.

13:12It's impossible for Alice Guo to return to Indonesia.

13:17She needs to explain this clearly.

13:21Senator, it's clear that Alice Guo can make documents.

13:27Correct. She can make documents.

13:29She can buy witnesses.

13:32She can buy witnesses.

13:37We know that these people won't lie if they can't be paid.

13:43Until the end, we can see that she's moving so that the people can pay.

13:49Is this our direction in the hearing, Senator?

13:52The corruption in other government agencies to do this?

13:56That's right. That's what we're looking at, especially her leaving our country.

14:01How did she leave? Who helped her?

14:04Where did she go?

14:09These are the things that should be covered by the law.

14:14At the end of this investigation, we will make a law to cover these holes in our process.

14:22Thank you very much Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. Be careful.

14:25Thank you very much.

14:28The 23 Filipinos rescued by the crew of the MT Sunion were attacked by the group Guti in the Red Sea.

14:41One of the Filipino crew after the attack on the ship,

14:45he said that they were sailing from Iraq to Greece when they were hit by a missile.

14:50The ship was also hit by a missile so it exploded and the water entered.

14:55Their machine was no longer ready.

14:57Yesterday, the Filipino seafarers were rescued according to the Department of Migrant Workers.

15:02The group Guti promised to attack the MT Sunion and another ship in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

15:10The all 23 seafarers are safe and sound.

15:17The Philippines has already announced its intention to the World Health Organization

15:21to get the smallpox vaccines used in their country as a fight against mpox.

15:27As of now, there is no supply of vaccines against mpox in the Philippines.

15:30According to the Department of Health,

15:32the supply of vaccines in Africa where there is already a crisis because of mpox was prioritized.

15:38A mpox case is being monitored by the DOH in the country by the 33-year-old man from Metro Manila.

15:45According to the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,

15:48it will make it difficult for the patient to communicate with their close contacts.

15:52The DOH is already implementing health protocols for businesses that have close contacts,

15:58such as salons, barbershops and spas.

16:04No one will be left out if they wear gloves and face masks.

16:09Why? Because barbers, stylists and beauticians have intimate contacts.

16:15Our interest is to continue the business activities while making sure that health is still the main consideration.

16:23In Singapore, 13 cases of mpox have been detected according to their health ministry.

16:29Before that, the Department of Disease Control of Thailand has already confirmed

16:34that there is a case of mpox that has entered their country.

16:38The man is a senior citizen from a country in Africa.

16:43We will now go to the inquest proceedings.

16:46This morning, Cassandra Leong and former Mayor Alice Guo, Sheila Guo,

16:52are in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI.

16:56Details on the first news live of James Agustin.

17:01James.

17:06Good morning.

17:07The National Bureau of Investigation has closed the Special Detention Room

17:11where Sheila Guo and Cassandra Leong are now.

17:19At 10.22 p.m., the National Bureau of Investigation arrived in Quezon City.

17:24The convoy was led by Sheila Guo,

17:26sister of Dismissed Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo,

17:30and Cassandra Ong, the body of the raided POGO in Porac, Pampanga,

17:34which is located in South 99.

17:36Tony Ferdinand Topacio, the legal counsel of Ong, also arrived.

17:40According to Topacio, the two are in a Special Detention Room

17:44that has an aircon and a folding chair.

17:46The authorities are also keeping an eye on it.

17:49There is a Special Detention Room on the eighth floor.

17:52My fearless forecast here after a long holiday,

18:00since they have a standing warrant emanating from the House of Representatives,

18:05they will get a sergeant-at-arms to bring the house to the detention center.

18:14Topacio said that his client, Ong, is in a good condition.

18:18He asked her to buy face masks and food.

18:20She's okay. She's in high spirits.

18:22She is convinced that she has done nothing wrong but to try to do legitimate business.

18:29It was discovered that Ong underwent an inquest proceeding at 8 a.m.

18:34The information that was given to me is that my client will be subject to inquest for obstruction of justice

18:43and harboring a fugitive.

18:45Where is the inquest?

18:47Either here or at the DOJ.

18:50Topacio first questioned why his client will remain in the custody of the NBI.

18:55In my humble opinion, did the House of Representatives really take custody through the sergeant-at-arms?

19:03The problem is, it's a long weekend.

19:05I think all of our congressmen are on vacation.

19:08So, she's here.

19:11According to Topacio, she has her own lawyer, Sheila Guwo,

19:14whom she also saw walking around last night.

19:16The media couldn't talk about Guwo's lawyer.

19:23In the meantime, we have here at our side the inquest proceedings that will be conducted by Cassandra Lee Ong.

19:30Before we continue, we have already seen members of the Bureau of Immigration heading to the headquarters of the NBI.

19:36That's the first news.

19:37From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.

19:41Welcome back to my country, Cassandra Ong and Sheila Guwo from Indonesia.

19:48Continuing our search for Alice Guwo, we have with us the Bureau of Immigration Spokesperson, Dana Sandoval.

19:54Good morning to you, ma'am.

19:55This is Maryse and we are live with the first news.

19:57Good morning. Good morning, Maryse.

19:59Let's start with the information about the former mayor.

20:03Where is Alice Guwo now? Is she still in Indonesia?

20:06Do we have any evidence?

20:09According to the tracking of our counterparts there, it is confirmed that she is still in Indonesia.

20:14There are no attempts to transfer her to another country.

20:18This is former Mayor Alice Guwo.

20:21Alright.

20:22Based on the documents, Guwo arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia.

20:27Do you have any information?

20:29Maybe she went to other countries from the Philippines before arriving in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

20:35Actually, it is not confirmed if she went to Denpasar before going to Malaysia.

20:41Based on what we can see in the passport,

20:44Sheila, who arrived here, passed through Sabah, Malaysia before going to Kuala Lumpur.

20:54From there, they went to Singapore and then on August 18, they transferred to Indonesia via Batam Island.

21:06They ferried to Indonesia.

21:09Ma'am, can we see her return to her country any day from now?

21:15Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is saying that anytime soon, she will be retrieved.

21:21But when she was here in the Philippines, it was hard for the authorities to detain her.

21:26Especially now that she is in another country.

21:29We're very hopeful about that.

21:31We are thankful to Indonesian Immigration for their prompt response to our Commissioner's letter to them,

21:40informing these people.

21:43They immediately pre-locked the whereabouts of Mayor Alice Cuo and her family.

21:51That's why we successfully retrieved Cassandra Leong and Sheila Leal Cuo.

21:57We're hoping that in the next few days, there will be more developments in the case of those who were left there.

22:03A lot of people are asking, Ma'am, why was she detained in the Immigration Synagogue?

22:07Is the BIA's investigation that broad?

22:09According to the information that was collected from the documents that they showed,

22:16it seems that they did not pass through the formal airport or seaport of this group.

22:22The indication that we see is that they passed through Sabah, Malaysia, possibly through illegal means.

22:29That's why they did not pass through the immigration processing.

22:32The backtracking of their flights or their travels, if this is a bank,

22:38we are still doing that so we can know exactly what route they passed through,

22:44so we can know who are liable for their illegal departure.

22:50According to PAOC, it is possible to use a chartered plane from another country,

22:54and they are the backload passengers.

22:56Is it true that you are a backload passenger?

22:58There is no need for a manifest, and there is no need for the passengers to return to the country of origin?

23:07All airplanes require a manifest.

23:11All people who boarded there, even the crew, pilots, are placed in a manifest.

23:18So if they left there and did not depart legally,

23:26then that's considered illegal and falsification of the documents.

23:30How soon are we expecting the results of the investigation, ma'am?

23:33Immediately. We expect that the results will be released next week.

23:40There will be more information about it.

23:42And there, we will know the tracking, when, where, and how they left the Philippines, right?

23:49That's right.

23:50That's right, ma'am.

23:51Now, what we have is initial information that they went to Sabang, Malaysia.

23:56But now, we need to backtrack further to see who are involved in the departure of these people.

24:05Because what PAOC is also saying, for example, backchannel,

24:08in Sabang, Malaysia, there are also many people who can be seen in the seaports.

24:14There are also many people who can be seen in the seaports.

24:17So we will include that in our meeting.

24:20There's also the possibility of private aircraft.

24:24That's why, at this point, we will not release our deeper information until it's confirmed.

24:32Once it's confirmed, we will face several cases of those who were complicit in the departure of these people.

24:39All right.

24:40The sister of former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, Wesley Guo,

24:45is she still in Indonesia now?

24:47Or if she's not anymore, where did she go?

24:51With Wesley Guo, her last known information is in Indonesia.

24:55We haven't added our new information as to whereabouts she moved to.

25:02We are waiting for confirmation from our Indonesian counterparts if there are updates on her trip.

25:08We are just different in luck, ma'am.

25:11I would like to ask if Pastor Apolo Kibuloy is still in the Philippines.

25:15The government has been looking for him for a long time.

25:17So far, according to our records, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy has not traveled abroad.

25:24All right.

25:25Thank you very much, Donna Sandoval,

25:27spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration for your time and the information you gave us.

25:30Take care.

25:31Thank you and good morning.

25:32Good morning.

25:34Now, the long holiday weekend has started.

25:37Passengers are lining up for their bus terminal in Cubao.

25:40Live from Quezon City, we have first news from Bea Pinlac.

25:44Bea, how are you?

25:49Even though it's a bit hot,

25:51some of the passengers we talked to are willing to wait here at Baliwag Station or Baliwag Terminal

25:58for their bus and of course, for their long weekend.

26:05I've been waiting for a long time.

26:07It's still early in the morning,

26:09Annabella has already lined up at the bus terminal here in Cubao, Quezon City to go home to Nueva Ecija.

26:15I came from work. I'm going home straight.

26:19I thought I would be able to catch the bus.

26:22Well, I'll be there later.

26:24According to her, even though she waited for a long time,

26:27she's still excited for her long weekend.

26:30I'm going to party because I'm going to prepare a bit.

26:36Because of the expected number of passengers at the terminal,

26:40some of the people we talked to estimated that it will take a long time for them to catch the bus.

26:46I don't know. There are so many people going home.

26:49I'm not sure. Maybe it will take one or two hours.

26:54It's usual, but I'll wait. There's no choice.

26:59If there's no traffic for hours, I hope there won't be any.

27:04Even though they brought a lot or a few things to go home,

27:07there's one thing that never goes away from the hearts of the passengers.

27:12Pasalubong.

27:13Bananas. Groceries. Chocolates.

27:16Pasalubong for my child.

27:18According to the dispatcher office of the bus terminal,

27:21their bus is enough for the expected number of passengers this long weekend.

27:31Kapuso, there are already a lot of passengers here.

27:35But according to the people of the terminal,

27:38more passengers are expected to arrive later this afternoon.

27:43And that's the first news from Quezon City, Bay of Pinloc for GMA Integrated News.

27:49There are already a lot of people who are excited to go home to their province this long holiday weekend

27:54in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange.

27:57That's the first live news from EJ Gomez. EJ?

28:05Susan, there are already a lot of passengers here in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX this morning.

28:12A few days ago, there are already a lot of passengers here

28:16to go to their destination and vacation this long weekend.

28:26The Xeremey family is one of the many passengers from PITX

28:30to their province to go on vacation this long weekend.

28:33Because they have children with them, they postponed their trip to avoid the pandemic.

28:39We will go to Icavite to visit our family.

28:43We will just stay there for a few days.

28:47Then we will go swimming.

28:49We came here early so that our trip will not be a hassle.

28:54Wendy and Mika, who are the staff of a driving school company,

28:58are going home to Legazpi, Albay after their work in Quezon City.

29:03That's why they traveled early in the morning because the number of passengers in PITX is expected to increase.

29:09We forced them to go home because it's a long weekend.

29:13We will try to go home last night but we can't because the news said that 160,000 people were here last night.

29:22It's a good thing that we already booked a ticket.

29:24It's a bit risky because we thought that we might be stranded just like last night.

29:29Nanay Leonida is in a hurry to go home to Icavite so that she can be with her family this long weekend.

29:36She will try to get a ticket from PITX.

29:40We came from Calbayo in the summer.

29:43Then we will go home to Icavite.

29:48We are in a hurry because we are being forced to go home.

29:51It's just a house.

29:53Because there is an entrance and you will have to bring your grandchildren.

30:00Susan, the number of passengers who will go to PITX is expected to reach 170,000 according to the management.

30:08Most of them are our countrymen who did not accompany us on our trip here yesterday.

30:13At this point, you can see the main entrance of the terminal behind me.

30:17There is a line of passengers who will go inside.

30:20That line will go outside of the terminal.

30:24That line will go outside of the terminal.

30:29That's the first news from Paranaque City.

30:32EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.

30:36How are we with the situation in some parts of Iloilo City?

30:39We can already feel the long weekend rush.

30:42First news live from Zen Filantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV.

30:46Zen, good morning.

30:48Good morning.

30:52Maris, good morning.

30:53Starting today, passengers are expected to land here at Parola Wharf

30:57because it's a long weekend, especially for those who will go on vacation

31:00on the island of Guimaras, one of the destinations in Western Visayas.

31:08Malacanang declared a special non-working holiday today, August 23,

31:13as Pagunita on Ninoy Aquino Day.

31:16On Monday, August 26, is National Heroes Day.

31:19That's why there is a long time to go home to the provinces or to march.

31:23Here at Parola Wharf, we can already feel the long weekend rush.

31:27The Guimaras Island Transport Multipurpose Cooperative

31:30is already preparing for the addition of passengers who will go home

31:33and march on the island of Guimaras.

31:35It depends.

31:36It depends.

31:37I don't know if we can finish it on time.

31:39We are already full.

31:40We are already full.

31:41It depends on the capacity.

31:42According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

31:44they are already preparing for the process of loading rolling cargo

31:48to the pier,

31:49queuing passengers,

31:51and separating dangerous cargo from passengers.

31:54According to the Coast Guard,

31:55we will reach the medical team

31:58so that we can assist the passengers

32:01in cases related to medical attention.

32:04The Maritime Industry Authority also issued guidelines

32:07ordering relaxation for ship owners and operators

32:11of passenger and cargo vessels.

32:13Ships will be allowed to leave immediately

32:16once they reach the maximum capacity or are already full.

32:19Trips can also be added.

32:21The First Come, First Served policy will also be implemented in the provinces.

32:25I expect that the influx of passengers will be moderate.

32:29So I am making every peak season or special occasion

32:33a relaxation order

32:36which is allowing the operators a flexibility of operation.

32:44Maris, aside from the PCG,

32:46there is also a police assistance desk in the provinces

32:48to ensure the safety of passengers this long weekend.

32:52Maris, happy weekend!

32:53Happy weekend and thank you very much!
