00:00Cassandra Lee Ong is being detained at the Women's Correctional after being sighted in contempt of the camera.

00:07Ong is not answering the questions that are being asked in Pogo in Porac, Pampanga

00:13and Alice Goh is also outside the country.

00:16Raffy Tima is live.

00:23Vicky, I haven't heard about the illegal Pogo here in the camera for half an hour

00:27How could Cassandra Lee Ong be sighted for contempt?

00:32Because she didn't answer the questions of the congressmen.

00:36It seems like the congressmen are angry

00:39because even the questions about where she studied in college

00:42Cassandra Lee Ong didn't answer.

00:45She was given a few more chances to help in the hearing of the Quadcom

00:49but Cassandra Ong's answer was the same

00:51that she promised to the incorporator of Lucky South 99 Pogo.

00:54Because of this, Knight was formally detained for contempt

00:58at the Women's Correctional in Mandaluyong.

01:00After she was ordered to be detained at the correctional,

01:02Ong was given another chance to speak through the executive session.

01:07This is where Ong spoke that she will think about the trial.

01:10Cassandra Lee Ong will be remembered here in the camera

01:14because she didn't answer the questions of the four committees of the camera

01:17until she was arrested in Indonesia and deported back to the Philippines.

01:22Aside from Cassandra, her lawyer, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio,

01:25also reminded her a few times

01:27because she refused to speak for her client.

01:30What I'm saying is the right to remain silent, not self-incrimination.

01:36I would just like to remind Madam Cassandra Ong and her lawyer

01:41that what we are conducting here is not a custodial investigation

01:45where you can invoke your right to remain silent.

01:48There have been Supreme Court decisions on this.

01:51So I think the witness has to answer.

01:54Otherwise, we will move to cite her in contempt for refusal to answer.

01:59You are cited in contempt and you will be detained

02:03as a penalty for violating Section 11 of our rules.

02:08Any second?

02:11Julie seconded. Any objection?

02:14Hearing none, the motion is approved.

02:17There is a motion to detain Cassandra Ong

02:21at the Women's Correctional Center located at?

02:26Mandaluyong.

02:29It's a detention facility, women's correctional.

02:34Julie seconded. Any objections?

02:37Hearing none, the motion is approved.

02:41Until this time, Vicky, the hearing will continue

02:44and the other resource persons are being asked

02:47while Cassandra Ong is waiting for the answer

02:49if she will avail the offer to speak in an executive session.

02:53Vicky?

02:54Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
