00:00Some senators and members of the Justice Department are questioning why the court in Tarlac filed a complaint against Alice Guo.

00:09This is why she decided where the former mayor will be jailed.

00:14The ombudsman's answer to Mark Salazar's question.

00:21The Senate should not release the custody of Alice Guo until their investigation is not over.

00:27If Senator Francis Tolentino is the next one.

00:30He believes that the warrant of arrest that Tarlac RTC initiated is invalid.

00:35He also decided to jail Guo at the PNP Custodial Center.

00:40Related to 10660 should be filed in the nearest RTC of the next judicial region.

00:52Is it correct in the case file?

00:54Your Honor, on paper, there seems to be a slight violation of the law.

01:00But it's better if we hear it from the ombudsman. Maybe they can explain it here.

01:04Tolentino also said that the nearest judicial region in Tarlac is Ordaneta, Pangasinan or Valenzuela.

01:11Only there can the case be filed against Guo.

01:14Since the name of a Pangasinan mayor was likewise implicated here, there might be an influence.

01:22So it cannot be filed in Region 1.

01:25My second location, here are the maps of the judges.

01:29My second location that is near is Region 2 in Santa Fe.

01:40It's far, Nueva Vizcaya.

01:42The nearest location is Valenzuela City.

01:47The Justice Secretary also condemned the filing of the Graft case against Guo in Tarlac, but for other reasons.

01:54I think the prosecutors of the ombudsman made a mistake.

01:58Because Guo's salary is Grade 30.

02:03And 26 and above should go to the ombudsman and the local court.

02:09That's why the Justice Department will write to the ombudsman to clarify the issue of case jurisdiction and venue.

02:16We will ask for a clarification on this matter.

02:18Because it might be just an oversight.

02:21Before the hearing was over, Tolentino repeated his motion to get the custody of Guo from the Senate.

02:27Is it right for the court, if there is no jurisdiction, to issue a warrant of arrest?

02:32There is no visa, Your Honor.

02:34The warrant of arrest is invalid.

02:36There is only one warrant of arrest that is valid.

02:39The warrant of arrest coming from the Senate.

02:42But the ruling of Senator Rizal Ontiveros as chairman of the committee.

02:46Alice Guo is to remain in the custody of the Senate until the conclusion of this committee's inquiry.

02:53And this committee will coordinate with any court ordering your detention.

02:58The chair is clarifying that while Alice Guo is in contempt of the Senate,

03:03she will remain in PNP custody.

03:06But if she posts bail, she will be taken to the Senate.

03:10KAPAS RTC Branch 109 refused to give a statement on the issue.

03:15Ombudsman Samuel Martirez explained why the case was filed in Tarlac.

03:20At the time we filed the information, Alice Guo was no longer a public official.

03:28Because Alice Guo was dismissed by the Ombudsman, she will remain in Tarlac.

03:34She will remain because there is a jurisdiction in Bamban.

03:38The Senate cannot fight for Alice Guo's custody because she is in the custody of the court.

03:44The warrant of arrest issued by the Senate cannot be superior to the warrant of arrest issued by the RTC.

03:53So my advice to the Senate is to request the Senate of KAPAS RTC

04:02to produce Alice Guo in the Senate if there is a hearing.

04:10This hearing is suspended.

04:12The hearing was suspended before 3 p.m. and Guo was returned to the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Krame.

04:19For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.

04:23The hearing was suspended for 24 hours.
