00:42Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo skips bail when she appears before the tarlac court that ordered her arrest for graft charges
00:49She was supposed to post bail of Php 180,000 to be granted temporary freedom
00:55For now, we see no reason for that
00:59Considering that even if she gets bail, the purpose will not be achieved
01:05Considering that she still has other warrant of arrest
01:08This means Guo will remain under the custody of the police and will not be brought immediately to the Senate
01:14Guo's lawyer Nicole Hamila says Guo felt safe in police custody
01:19After being deported from Indonesia early Friday, September 6
01:23Guo was detained at the PNP Custodial Center and later escorted by police to tarlac
01:28Senate panel chief Risa Hontiveros meantime says of the handling of Guo, what happened was irregular
01:34She says she will get to the bottom of who's orchestrating the circus
01:41The tarlac court that handles Alice Guo's two graft cases allows the former Bamban Mayor to face a Senate probe on Monday, September 9
01:49In an order released Friday, September 6, Kapas Tarlac Regional Trial Court Branch 109 grants Sen. Risa Hontiveros' request to allow Guo to attend the probe
01:58The tarlac court also orders the Philippine National Police to bring Guo to the Senate
02:03She is currently detained at the PNP Custodial Center at Camp Krame in Quezon City
02:08Hontiveros earlier said Guo should have been brought to the Senate immediately after she was booked by the police
02:13The Senate has the first arrest warrant against her
02:18Besides graft, Guo faces three criminal complaints at the Justice Department for qualified human trafficking, tax evasion, and money laundering
02:29A mockery of the Filipino people
02:31Social media users say this to describe how government officials treated Alice Guo during her arrest and deportation to the Philippines
02:40Users criticized Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos for treating Guo with, quote,
02:44"'so much deference' and even posing for photos with her
02:48They also questioned Abalos conversing with Guo despite her being wanted by the Senate for skipping its hearings on illegal pogos
02:55But Abalos later denies he was giving special treatment to Guo and calls the comments unfair
03:01Veteran journalist Linda Humilia Abalos asks why officials had to charter a plane to fly Guo back to the Philippines
03:08Social media users also compare how Guo was treated to how law enforcers arrest activists and government critics
03:15Guo arrived in the country past 1 a.m. on Friday after Indonesian authorities arrested and deported her
03:23A slow start dooms Filipino wheelchair racer Gerald Mangliwan as he concludes his campaign in the Paris Paralympics
03:31The 44-year-old veteran misses the final of the men's 100-meter T52 after placing sixth and last in his heat at the Stade de France on Friday, September 6, Manila time
03:41He clocks 19.44 seconds as he exits early from the event, where he placed eighth overall in the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago
03:50Japan's Tomoki Sato tops the heat, while Canada's Anthony Bouchard and Mexico's Salvador Hernandez Mondragon complete the top three
03:58This is Mangliwan's third straight Paralympics
04:01Hopes are still up for para-swimmer Angel Autumn and para-javelin thrower Kendi Asosano, who are still up for medal rounds
04:10SB19's Josh Cullen releases his first-ever solo album Friday, September 6
04:15Titled Lost and Found to reflect Josh's, quote, emotional reality, the seven-track record charts his personal journey through anger, loneliness, and emotional turmoil to a state of love, hope, and newfound freedom
04:36Josh says he wrote about the, quote, pain that never truly goes away, the trauma that lingers long after we think our wounds have healed
04:49If I'm being honest, I've been lying my whole life
