00:00Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo has waited for more than three months to face the Senate,
00:05but it will be difficult to get an answer to some of the Senators' questions.
00:09And due to repeated non-answers to the questions,
00:12Guo was cited in contempt again.
00:15Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:20Who really helped Alice Guo to leave the Philippines?
00:24It will be difficult to get an answer from Guo when she faced the Senate earlier.
00:29Guo said they left Manila on a yacht with Sheila and Wesley Guo.
00:36They were on a trip from Asia.
00:39They didn't have a cell phone then.
00:41They switched to a boat that was on the water for four days,
00:45and switched to a smaller boat to go to Malaysia.
00:49The trip was free, and Guo said she had no obligation to leave the country.
00:54But when the Senators asked who gave the yacht a ride,
00:59who facilitated you to use the yacht?
01:02Madam Chair, I would like to say something, but I cannot say it in public.
01:07I'm really scared.
01:08Ms. Alice, our patience is running out.
01:11I hope you can understand that I'm really scared.
01:15I really want to discuss this.
01:16So you really want to discuss this with us.
01:19You're getting on my nerves.
01:21You're getting on my nerves.
01:22The name that Alice Guo wrote on the paper was not shown to the media,
01:26but the Senators said,
01:28This person you wrote is a holder of five passports.
01:32Why did he or she facilitate your escape?
01:36Maybe he's guilty.
01:38What's happening to me right now?
01:40Is this the name you wrote on the paper?
01:43Did this happen in your life?
01:45Did this happen in your life?
01:48Last time, it wasn't exactly, but I heard something.
01:53What did you hear?
01:55Sen, I refuse to answer for my safety.
01:59Did you escape or were you escaped?
02:02Sen, he initiated, but along the way...
02:06So he escaped you.
02:08Along the way, we weren't together.
02:10Isn't this your mastermind?
02:12Is this the mastermind of all of this?
02:14Are you the mastermind of this person?
02:16Sen, I'm not the mastermind.
02:18Okay, so...
02:19Are you the big boss of all the photos in Bambang?
02:22I'm also not the big boss of Bambang.
02:24When Ms. Moniguo admitted,
02:26she was furious that he escaped to Malaysia.
02:29That's why the senators decided that
02:30it's better for Ms. Moniguo to stay in the Philippines
02:32so that she can prove her innocence
02:35in the complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking
02:38in front of the notary public,
02:40which is Attorney Elmer Galicia.
02:41I'm just asking you, Ms. Alice.
02:44Do you know Attorney Galicia?
02:46Sen, I'll just talk to him.
02:47He's the one who's late to the council.
02:48My God.
02:49Allow me, Your Honor, to...
02:53to claim the confidentiality of the Executive Session.
02:59The Executive Session, like what was said earlier,
03:03has something to do with national security
03:06and public safety.
03:09The discussion of whether you know each other or not,
03:12of Mayor Alice,
03:13has nothing to do with what I know.
03:15According to Sheila Gona,
03:18she's the first sister of Alice.
03:21Even though they're not real siblings,
03:23Sheila's father, Alice's father,
03:25is considered as Alice's father.
03:27Ms. Moniguo is just a friend
03:29of Mayor Lizeldo Calugay,
03:33who was impeached by the Senate
03:35after not being able to attend the Senate hearing.
03:38She got GMA Integrated News
03:40from the municipality of Suwal
03:42to get her certificate,
03:44but she didn't go because of the market.
03:47We're just friends.
03:48Sen, I'm not her boyfriend.
03:50Ms. Moniguo has been asked
03:53about her identity for a long time.
03:55Her fingerprints match
03:58with a Guo Huaping
03:59according to the investigation of the NBI.
04:02For your own sake,
04:03and for the sake of our committee,
04:06just one last time on this very simple,
04:08fundamental question.
04:10Are you Guo Huaping?
04:13Madam Chair, I'm not confirming.
04:15There's a case against me.
04:18I will answer to the court.
04:20The Senate has a right to know
04:22who we're talking to.
04:24Is it a real person
04:25that we think or someone else?
04:27Madam Chair, I'm Alice Guo.
04:29We've already proven
04:30that you're not Alice Guo.
04:33You're the real Guo Huaping.
04:35It's not just the committee
04:36who reached that conclusion.
04:38It's the NBI itself
04:40and another agency.
04:42There are many more questions
04:43that Guo didn't answer.
04:45My question is,
04:46you have a monitor in front of you.
04:48Do you see the page of the passport?
04:50Is that you in that photo?
04:52I'm not asking for your name.
04:53Madam Chair, I have a pending case.
04:57You answer.
04:58She repeatedly invoked
05:00her right against self-incrimination
05:03and she was forced to take risks in her life
05:05that's why she couldn't answer the questions.
05:07Madam Chair, that answer is unacceptable.
05:10After we're exposed,
05:12you'll do this to us?
05:13You'll answer us like that?
05:14After we're exposed,
05:15after we're exposed,
05:17you'll say you have a death threat
05:18and you can't say
05:19where your death threat came from?
05:21Ms. Alice, I'm reminding you,
05:22you never raised security concerns
05:25to the committee before.
05:27This is the only time you were arrested
05:28and replaced here.
05:29After the session,
05:31after the hearing,
05:32what will happen to me?
05:34Let's take...
05:35That's why for the second time,
05:37the former mayor was cited in contempt.
05:40I move to cite Guo Huaping,
05:42also known as Alice Guo,
05:43in contempt of the Senate.
05:45You will remain in the custody of the Senate
05:49until the conclusion of this committee's inquiry
05:51or until you finally recognize
05:54the authority of this body
05:56and grant even a semblance of respect
05:58for the laws of this country.
06:00The committee will coordinate with any court.
06:15RTC branch 109,
06:17the basis of the current
06:20case of Guo
06:21in the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame.
06:24There is a circular issued
06:25by the court administrator
06:28wherein it states that
06:30all cases related to 10660
06:36should be filed in the nearest RTC
06:41of the next judicial region.
06:43On paper, there seems to be a slight
06:46discrepancy in the law,
06:48but it's better if we listen to the ombudsman.
06:51Tolentino said that
06:52the nearest judicial region in Trilac
06:55is Ordaneta, Pangasinan or Valenzuela.
06:59Only there can the case be filed against Guo.
07:02The Justice Secretary also decided
07:04to file a case against Guo
07:06in Capas, Trilac, but for other reasons.
07:08I think the prosecutors of the ombudsman
07:11made a mistake
07:12because Alice Guo has a salary grade of 30
07:16and 26 and above should be filed
07:20against the ombudsman and the court.
07:23That's why the Justice Department
07:25will write to the ombudsman
07:26to clarify this issue.
07:28Maybe it's just an oversight.
07:31But according to Tiveros,
07:32the chair of the committee
07:34who is in charge of the hearing,
07:35the committee will write again to the chair
07:38and to the office of the ombudsman
07:42until we get some quick answers
07:46from those two good bodies
07:48who can guide us.
07:50Otherwise, Ms. Alice will remain
07:53in PNP custody.
07:55For GMA Integrated News,
07:57I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
