00:00Rather than take a chance, especially now that she supposedly has a death threat,
00:05dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo wants to play it safe
00:09by remaining under the protection of the Philippine National Police
00:12or PNP custodial center in Camp Kramer.
00:15Even authorities want to keep the local chief executive safe
00:18as she has yet to face all the charges filed against her
00:21and is expected to appear before the ongoing Senate hearing
00:25where a barrage of questions from lawmakers eagerly await her.
00:29Patrick De Jesus has the full story.
00:48Inside the plane returning to the Philippines from Indonesia,
00:52dismissed Mayor Alice Guo was read her Miranda Rights
00:56in connection with two counts of Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act
01:00filed against her by the BILG for allegedly using her power as mayor
01:05to favor the permit and license of the raided Baufu compound in Bambantanlak.
01:14Afterwards, the PNP handcuffed Guo.
01:18Upon arrival in the Philippines, Guo was transferred
01:21to the PNP custodial center at Camp Kramer
01:24and had her mugshot taken as part of the booking procedure
01:28where her alleged real name, Guo Wa Ping, was listed.
01:35This noon, guarded by police, wrapped in a jacket and wearing a bulletproof vest,
01:41Guo appeared before RTC branch 109 in Kapastarlak which issued the arrest warrant.
01:47Guo's appearance in court was part of the process to personally show she had been arrested.
01:53According to Guo's lawyer, the former mayor did not post the P180,000 bail
01:59as temporary freedom was deemed useless since she is facing other complaints.
02:04Guo's camp will also file a motion in conjunction with the case.
02:24Because of this, Guo remains in court custody
02:28and based on the commitment order, Guo will remain detained at the PNP custodial center.
02:34Guo also feels safer in the custody of the PNP according to her lawyer
02:39who earlier said she received death threats.
02:43That's also what she said last night, that she's safe and secure where she is now.
02:48Because of this, the Senate will need to request the court to allow Guo
02:52to appear in hearings in relation to POGO operations in Bambantarlak and alleged human trafficking.
02:59But earlier, the court granted the appearance of Guo at the Senate hearing on Monday
03:05upon the request of Senator Risa Hontiveros.
03:08The PNP is ready to comply and provide security.
03:12So, prudence dictates that the PNP should deploy appropriate number of PNP personnel
03:18for purposes of transporting Alice Guo from the private hangar to the custodial facility
03:24and that will be the similar setup that we will do.
03:28As long as Alice Guo is in our custody, the PNP will provide the necessary security
03:35to ensure her safety also.
03:37The PNP then shared photos of Guo's detention facility.
03:41It is the same detention unit used by former Senator Laila de Lima
03:46when she was previously held at the PNP custodial center.
03:50Guo's ordinary room has a bed, a table, a chair, and a toilet.
03:55It does not have air conditioning and gadgets are not allowed.
03:59The PNP emphasized that there will be no special treatment for Guo.
04:05Meanwhile, DILG Secretary Benjur Abalos had an explanation on the wacky photo of him
04:12and PNP Chief Police General Romel Marvil with Guo.
04:16Abalos said they were having a discussion with Guo during that time regarding the alleged death threat.
04:23At that point, the PNP took a picture to have it documented.
04:27So, we looked at the camera.
04:29Of course, when you look at it like that, you don't know what it's doing.
04:32It's probably going to bite you, right?
04:34But if you're going to look at it, I was looking straight at the camera.
04:37I was not looking at the light.
04:39What is important here, I hope our countrymen understand,
04:42when you go to the place of Jakarta, there is no certainty that we will get him.
04:49Let's do this.
04:51Abalos then emphasized their efforts to bring Guo back to the country should not be undermined.
04:57He also said no public funds were spent for the private flight to Indonesia and back.
05:03Patrick de Azuz, from The National TV, for a new and better Philippines.
