00:00The Senate heard the hearing on Monday,
00:05Dismissed by Mayor Alice Guo.
00:07This was followed by a court order,
00:09followed by a request from the chairperson of the committee,
00:11to allow Guo to attend the hearing.
00:14Before that, Guo mentioned again
00:16the humanoid death threats against him.
00:19Something that an official of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
00:24or PAOC, is worried about.
00:25Joseph Moro is a witness.
00:31I need a poll.
00:32Hey Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice.
00:34What happened?
00:35Huh?
00:36Nothing happened.
00:37You just follow us, okay?
00:39Okay, let me change.
00:40Three days after he was arrested in Tangier, Indonesia,
00:44Dismissed by Mayor Alice Guo returned to the Philippines.
00:47He is facing a series of complaints
00:49because of his involvement in the Pogo in Bambang, Tarlac.
00:52He was denied the arrest warrant
00:54by the court in Tarlac for the case of graft and corruption.
00:57You have the right to remain silent
00:59Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
01:03Guo is undergoing documentation and booking procedure,
01:06as well as medical examination.
01:08Guo boarded a chartered plane to return to the Philippines.
01:11According to the DILG,
01:12the Indonesian authorities only gave him 24 hours
01:15to follow up on Guo if he is not released.
01:19I have a friend who borrowed an airplane
01:21to do this in an easier way.
01:24Because we will chase the rumors.
01:27And I repeat, I did not spend money on the government here.
01:32According to the DILG,
01:33a woman named Mong Ha is the owner of the apartment
01:36that Guo followed.
01:37Guo was only recognized in a mall that he was talking about.
01:41Authorities also released four people
01:43who helped Alice to hide in Indonesia,
01:46Chinese and Indonesians.
01:48It was a big help for us when we identified the locals,
01:52the local contacts here, and there were also Chinese people.
01:56They are the ones who provide the logistics here,
01:59as well as the hotels.
02:01The locals, their contacts,
02:03they are the ones who use their names
02:05in the hotels that they follow.
02:07Yesterday in Indonesia,
02:08Guo was smiling and ready to take a selfie.
02:11When he faced the press con earlier this morning,
02:13together with the leaders of the DILG and PNP,
02:16Guo was wearing a face mask
02:18and wearing an orange T-shirt with the words
02:20CIDG DETAINEE.
02:22The hands of the former mayor,
02:24who was wearing a T-shirt.
02:25He was hiding behind almost the entire press con.
02:28The media had no answer.
02:30I confirmed everything that the secretary said,
02:33that I have a death threat.
02:35I asked for help from them
02:37and I am happy that I saw them.
02:39I feel safe.
02:40Thank you very much.
02:42Mayor Alice,
02:43is that why you are happy with the pictures
02:46and the people taking selfies of you?
02:50Is that why you are smiling
02:52as if you are less stressed in your situation?
02:56Yes.
02:57Alice requested that the two of us talk to the chief.
03:01And she said that she has death threats.
03:04And I assured her,
03:06me and the chief,
03:08that the death threats,
03:10don't worry, it's important.
03:12Tell her everything that is true.
03:14Everything.
03:15Don't be afraid.
03:17No matter who this person is.
03:19Guo passed out at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Krame,
03:23where he was admitted again for a booking procedure.
03:26The next day, he was wearing a bulletproof vest,
03:28with a cover on his head,
03:29and surrounded by police escorts.
03:32He was taken to Branch 109 of the Tarlac Regional Trial Court
03:35where a warrant was issued against him.
03:37The warrant of arrest issued by the RTC
03:40takes precedence over the arrest warrant issued by the Senate.
03:45So if there will be a hearing,
03:48the Senate and the PNP will still be in custody.
03:51In this case, the Senate will request the same court
03:54that issued the warrant of arrest.
03:56The court recommended P180,000 pesos,
04:00but it was not enough.
04:02Guo's camp was ordered by the court
04:04that he will be jailed in Krame while his case is being heard.
04:07That's why he was returned to the PNP Custodial Center.
04:10We see no reason for that,
04:12considering that even if he will file a bill,
04:14he will still not get the purpose,
04:18considering that he still has another warrant of arrest.
04:21If you file a bill, you will also be jailed.
04:23You will be jailed in the Senate, right?
04:25That's how it is.
04:26His lawyer also pointed out the death threats against him.
04:30That's why Guo is more compliant in the PNP Custodial Center.
04:33Guo was told to come to his family and friends
04:37to calm him down so that there will be no more investigation on him.
04:41That's why Guo was so happy in the pictures and videos
04:45when he was turned over by the Indonesian government.
04:48At least now he is happy.
04:50Do they not want him to be happy?
04:51Do they want him to be sad?
04:53Because before, he had a lot of worries about his security, right?
04:56Now, what worries does he have?
04:58He is protected by the best security agencies in the Philippines.
05:01But the Senate Committee's chairperson
05:04contempted Guo,
05:05that's why the Senate had an arrest order against him.
05:08He should be detained in the Senate first
05:11so that he can face the hearing on Monday.
05:13I respect the right of the judiciary to issue a warrant.
05:19But the Senate has the first arrest warrant against him.
05:24The Senate triggered the manhunt.
05:27The Senate warrant is the baton of our law enforcers in Jakarta.
05:32Because the court is now holding the former Bantarlak Mayor, Alice Guo,
05:36the Senate now needs to ask for permission from the court
05:40whenever Guo will need it to attend the hearings.
05:44I hope he will come.
05:46I really want him to come because he has a lot to clarify.
05:50Who threatened him, right?
05:52Who helped him to leave the country?
05:56I'm sure there are more threats now
05:59because there are people involved who we don't know.
06:02PNP has custody.
06:04It's all up to the court if he will be allowed.
06:08Senator Arisa Ontiveros wrote to the court
06:11to ask for permission to face Guo's hearing on Monday,
06:14which was granted by the court.
06:17The PNP Custodial Center also ordered
06:19that Guo be brought to the Senate on the day of the hearing.
06:22Ontiveros and Javang also asked
06:24why the DILG filed a lighter case for them
06:27to get custody of Guo.
06:29It should be a country that has graft and corruption charges
06:33against high-ranking officials like Guo.
06:36The DILG replied that they filed a complaint against Ombudsman
06:39and Ombudsman filed a case against Tarlac RTC.
06:42Officials of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC,
06:46have doubts about what Guo said about death threats against him.
06:50This woman and her family were brought to life by a lie.
06:55So I will never believe anything that comes out of their mouth again
06:58unless there is evidence.
07:00I think he will be death-threatened
07:02if he will drop his associates in the syndicate
07:06or his associates in the illegal run of POGO.
07:09President Marcos has doubts about what Guo said
07:12that he doesn't know what will happen in the Baufo compound
07:15where the POGO raid is taking place in Bamban,
07:18especially since it is located near the municipality.
07:20There are still many questions to be answered.
07:22How did he become rich?
07:24Why does he have a lot of money?
07:26How did he become a mayor?
07:27He doesn't even know how to live there.
07:29I hope that Alisco's answer is good
07:32compared to his associates
07:35because it will not help her at all to be evasive.
07:39The President of the Indonesian government, who has a prisoner swap,
07:42refused to return Guo to his country.
