00:00We will first find out from Sandra Aguinaldo the other news from the Senate. Sandra.
00:06Yes Connie, now it's ongoing. The Senators are delivering and talking to each other.
00:14So far, in the initial questions, they didn't get a direct response.
00:22Just like when we asked about his identity, if he is GoWalking.
00:27Now, the Senators are talking to each other.
00:30One of the things we are waiting for is if he is a site in contempt.
00:35And if that happens, can he be put in jail?
00:42Along with Sheila Go.
00:44But aside from that, the Senators want us to mention that they have something to get from their information.
00:53I think they will exhaust their answers so that they can get an answer to the questions.
01:00One option there is the executive decibel.
01:03It seems like that is what Alice Kuong is asking for.
01:08But for now, so far, the Senators want to get an answer that can be watched or heard by the public.
01:16So that is what they are talking about right now, Connie.
01:19Yes, and we also saw that,
01:21Senator Riza Ontiveros was the first one to say that,
01:25before he said that he will not give a direct answer because he might be incriminated,
01:33he said that the possible questions,
01:36they can ask that are not incriminating on her part, Sandra.
01:40But even so, we saw that Alice Kuong's answer was very sharp.
01:48The first thing we heard was that she denied that she is not Guawa Ping.
01:53She also denied that Lin Wenyi is her mother.
01:58And she also said that our Senators also have a basis, to begin with,
02:05of documents that say otherwise.
02:08For our viewers, Sandra,
02:10on our TV screen, the Senators are still holding back.
02:15But inside, what is the atmosphere?
02:17Can you describe the atmosphere inside where you are right now?
02:20Yes, right here inside the House of Representatives.
02:24It is very quiet because the Senators are sitting right now.
02:30And while they are sitting,
02:33Alice Kuong's lawyers are talking to each other.
02:40And we can see that she is still sitting.
02:45And the Senators are waiting for the ruling.
02:50But you know, Raffy,
02:51I will just share with you an insight that we got from a lawyer who is now a Senator.
02:57I don't know his name.
02:58There is not a big difference because Alice Kuong,
03:01if she is being contempted,
03:03and if the Senator is taking custody,
03:06but she is already in prison.
03:10And maybe the room here in the Senate is even better.
03:14So what they are saying is that Alice Kuong is ready
03:18if she is being contempted by the Senators.
03:21No one can beat her.
03:23That's it.
03:24Obviously, she is ready.
03:25Because she did not plead,
03:26she is willing to go to prison,
03:28but in the custody of the PNP.
03:30But in this case,
03:31if she is sighted and contempted,
03:32Sandra,
03:33she will be automatically imprisoned there.
03:35Yes.
03:36But if you notice Raffy,
03:38there was a discussion earlier that the chair is not yet making a decision.
03:44And this is because they need to let the court decide.
03:48Because there is a warrant for Alice Kuong in the Fair Law Court.
03:53And because they already pleaded in the court to have Alice Kuong attended here,
04:01the expectation is that they will plead in the court again
04:05on what they will do next for Alice Kuong.
04:09Yes.
04:10We also heard earlier, Sandra,
04:12in the opening statement of Senator Raffy
04:15and other Senators,
04:20they are saying that first of all,
04:23they are questioning that there should not be a court
04:27in the case of Tarlac itself
04:29or in the case of Antinamumunuan,
04:31the former mayor of Tarlac,
04:34That is what Senator Jowell mentioned earlier.
04:36Senator Jowell and Senator Raffy.
04:38The Senators really want to insist that the jurisdiction should be theirs.
04:44Yes.
04:45They also want to show the power of the Senate.
04:48Sandra is back.
04:50She is starting again.
04:51Let's listen to the continuation of the Senate hearing.
