00:00Cassandra Ong joined the hearing of the Chamber of Commerce regarding the illegal POGO.
00:04She withdrew her first signed bank secrecy waiver in order to open her bank accounts.
00:12She also admitted to applying for a license for POGO in Porac, Pampanga.
00:17We have the first news, Rafi Tima.
00:23Cassandra Lee Ong repeatedly said in the first hearing of the Chamber of Commerce
00:26that they are just selling houses to Chinese businessmen.
00:30But she was admitted by congressmen.
00:32We are preventing that congressman Carap will again make a motion for contempt
00:40and consign you to Mandaluyong Correctional Institution.
00:46Now you answer me now, what kind of license did you get, trying to get from PAGCOR?
00:53Mr. Chair, license to operate by PAGCOR.
00:57What? To operate by PAGCOR? You applied for a license from PAGCOR to operate what?
01:10To operate POGO.
01:12That's it.
01:13First, Ong said that she doesn't know about the POGO operation in Porac, Pampanga.
01:18She is just an authorized representative of Locky South 99.
01:22In the fourth hearing of the Chamber of Commerce regarding POGO,
01:25Ong was also asked where the funds they used to build more than four houses in Porac, Pampanga came from.
01:31Ong's answer was that it was from her mother.
01:34But she couldn't answer where exactly the money came from from her partners.
01:38Didn't your partners' business come from drugs?
01:44I'm sure it didn't.
01:46Ong also returned the previous commitment that she signed a bank secrecy waiver to open her bank accounts.
01:52In the beginning, she agreed to execute a bank waiver.
01:56But she actually returned it because she believes that it will serve as evidence against her
02:03in the case of money laundering committed by PAOK and AMLOC.
02:07At one point, Ong said again that if she agrees to be a witness, especially if the congressmen doubt her,
02:13she has a lot of POGO operators.
02:15She also said that she didn't finish her studies.
02:18But she hasn't made a decision yet.
02:20You just have a lot of people here.
02:22And there are people behind this that you can't mention for some reason.
02:27For some reason, you can't mention because they might be close to you.
02:33Or maybe they are your relatives.
02:36Or maybe they are your boyfriends.
02:38Or maybe they are the people you're trying to hide from us.
02:44Right?
02:47What can you say?
02:52For all the questions, I don't have a lot of questions.
02:57After a few questions, Ong refused to answer.
03:00She also asked for permission to go to the back, but she didn't return.
03:03She later said that her sugar level dropped.
03:06According to the doctor of the camera, the machine cannot read her sugar level,
03:10indicating how low it is.
03:12Because of this, the Quadcom ordered her to be rushed to the hospital
03:16so that they can continue their questioning for the next hearing.
03:20Alice Go was also emotionally affected by the hearing of the Quadcom
03:24when she arrived in the country.
03:26This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
