00:00There is a Chinese name and it is said that the bosses of the POGO helped Alice Guo to escape to the Philippines, according to some senators.
00:10And the NBI said that some businessmen and local officials also helped the dismissed mayor.
00:17Witness, Sally Marefran.
00:23Ten foreign and four Filipino staff of POGO were involved in the Department of Justice earlier.
00:29They witnessed the complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking,
00:32as well as the raid of Lucky South 99 POGO in Purak, Pampanga.
00:36In the complaint, Lucky South 99 was laughed at by Cassandra Ong,
00:41Cronalyn Baterna, the Corporate Secretary,
00:43former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center official Dennis Cunanan,
00:47and Adwanren Wu and Jiang Jie, the big bosses of POGO.
00:5250 other incorporators, officers and managers of Lucky South 99,
00:57as well as the Whirlwind Corporation, were also involved.
00:59They were the ones who sold the land to Lucky South.
01:02They are the biggest buyers of people.
01:06They buy people from the casino owners.
01:10One of the Chinese was owed P450,000.
01:15When he lost, he couldn't pay anymore.
01:17He was sent straight to Lucky South.
01:19The union of Lucky South 99 and the Whirlwind Criminal Enterprise through and through,
01:26what he did, his plan was already illegal.
01:29Wu, the Chinese, and Jiang, the Singaporean,
01:32were the ones who were with Wu and Ong to transfer to Singapore and Indonesia.
01:39Alice Wu was not included in this complaint.
01:42But the authorities did not ignore the possibility of her being included in other complaints related to Lucky South 99.
01:4932 boxes of documents were also brought to the DOJ
01:53that added to the evidence in the Money Laundering complaint against Wu.
01:58Aside from 87 counts of money laundering,
02:01Wu is also facing complaints of Qualified Human Trafficking and Tax Evasion here in the Department of Justice.
02:06This is different from the cases facing Tarlac RTC, Manila RTC, and Comele.
02:13Wu is still in the PNP Custodial Center.
02:16He was visited by his lawyer.
02:18I checked on Alice Wu yesterday.
02:21I personally talked to her before she went to the Senate.
02:25She was able to sleep. She was able to adjust.
02:28Until around 3.55 p.m. yesterday, she returned from the Senate.
02:33She said nothing happened.
02:34The Tarlac RTC Branch 109 agreed to bring Wu to the Senate
02:39if he needs to face the next hearings.
02:42Following his appearance in the Senate yesterday,
02:45there were new questions that arose.
02:48One of them was, who helped him to leave the Philippines?
02:53Wu's name was written on a piece of paper in the hearings yesterday.
02:58Why did he or she felicitate your escape?
03:02Maybe he or she is guilty.
03:04What's happening to me right now?
03:06Is this the name you wrote on the paper?
03:09Did this happen in your life?
03:11Did this happen in your life?
03:13Last time, it wasn't exactly.
03:17But I also heard something.
03:19What did you hear?
03:20Sen, I refuse to answer for my safety.
03:24The name was not made public.
03:26But according to Senator Arisa Ontiveros,
03:29who was chair of the committee,
03:30this person was already mentioned in the previous hearings.
03:34I'm not sure about the Chinese name.
03:36But how many names did you write, sir?
03:38Just one.
03:39He is a Chinese national and allegedly,
03:44based on the reports that I have received,
03:47he fled the country and he is now in Taiwan.
03:52I heard that he is the boss of all the bosses of POGO.
03:57Stop it, Senators.
03:58Maybe Guo has a Philippine connection to his escape.
04:02The PCG asked earlier in the budget hearing,
04:05why wasn't Guo's car intercepted?
04:08In our existing memorandum circular on pre-departure inspection,
04:13vessels which are non-common carrier,
04:17we are now revising the circular, Your Honor,
04:20so the Coast Guard will have a role in the enforcement
04:24in this kind of vessels, Your Honor.
04:26You could have done that even before.
04:29Why do we need the Nalisgo incident
04:33before we can anticipate such a scenario and then cover it?
04:38The regulation was made in 2009
04:41and I'm taking my role now to revise it, Your Honor.
04:45Being an NBI,
04:47he does not believe in what Guo is saying
04:49that there is no Philippine help in his escape from the country.
04:53Some of the NBI people who helped Guo already mentioned it.
04:57When he escaped from POGO,
05:03many people were assisting him,
05:07advising him, whatever.
05:10When he escaped,
05:12many private and public officials were helping him.
05:18The NBI is also monitoring the alleged body double of Nalis Guo
05:22that Guo made a possible decoy to avoid being caught.
05:26Guo himself confirmed it
05:29when NBI asked him in Indonesia.
05:37What's your name?
05:42All my people have long hair.
05:44What's your face like?
05:46Slimmer version.
05:49When we're looking for Nalis Guo,
05:52that's our rabbit.
05:54That's the rabbit.
05:55What a rabbit means is
05:57that's what you'll follow to get the principal.
06:01So we're monitoring that woman.
06:04According to Guo's brother, Wesley.
06:07We received a filler.
06:09Wesley also wants to give up.
06:11He's just waiting for his sister.
06:13For GMA Integrated News,
06:15here are the 5 references of your witness.
06:19A husband and wife are fighting in a fire in Bacoor, Cavite,
06:23where more than 1,000 families lost their homes.
06:27Witness, Rafi Tima.
06:33From Cavitex, you can see the thick and black smoke.
06:36It's from the burning houses in Barangay Longos 43 in Bacoor, Cavite.
06:40The fire spread quickly because of the strong wind.
06:44In this drone video, you can see the area that was burned.
06:47It was difficult because we were going inside
06:51while the people were bringing their belongings outside.
06:55The road was narrow, limited space.
06:57We were on a boat.
06:58So when our host arrived,
07:00it was already difficult.
07:02But we tried our best.
07:03More than 800 houses were burned.
07:05At 12 noon, the fire started
07:08and it was extinguished after more than 2 hours.
07:10Although it was prohibited,
07:12some residents came back to look for their belongings.
07:16The whole barangay was emotional.
07:18Just last month, their barangay was also burned
07:21where 600 families were affected.
07:23I saw how the children ran.
07:26Even the elderly were crying.
07:29That's why it hurts me.
07:31The husband and wife are fighting for the possible cause of the fire.
07:34It was reported to them that this was a coincidence.
07:39When the fire started,
07:41he said that someone was going to die.
07:44It should have been reported to the barangay last night
07:47so that we can be sure that it didn't happen.
07:50Earlier this afternoon,
07:51a man named Alias Allen was arrested.
07:53Alias Allao testified that he asked
07:55when the fire started.
07:56He was in the hospital.
07:57He was right.
07:58His family came back.
07:59In the mapping operation of the VFP Bakoor,
08:02they confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.
08:05The number of people who were burned is still unknown.
08:07It's possible that it reached 1,000 families.
08:09Thank God, we were all saved.
08:12No one was injured.
08:14All of our belongings were burned.
08:18We don't know where we will be able to live
08:23because we don't know where we will live.
08:27For now, the burned people are staying in different covered courts
08:30in the nearby barangays.
08:32For GMA Integrated News, I'm Rafi Timah.
08:37A rider was killed in Mangaldan, Pangasinan
08:40after a motorcycle collided with a house.

09:57See you soon!
10:00Pastor Apolo Quibuloy and four other accused
10:03will remain in the PNP Custodial Center
10:06on behalf of the court order to be transferred to the BJMP facility.
10:10The PNP also explained the reason why Quibuloy
10:14was wearing a mask in front of the media yesterday.
10:17Watch Jun Veneracion.
10:22These are the official mugshots of Pastor Apolo Quibuloy
10:25and four of his accomplices.
10:27These were posted online by Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos
10:31with the caption,
10:32No one is above the law.
10:34The faces and full names are clear,
10:36unlike those released by the PNP yesterday.
10:39The PNP's policy is to follow the advisory and guidance
10:46of the Commission on Human Rights
10:48that we should not be exposing their identities.
10:52When Quibuloy was presented to the media yesterday,
10:55his face was covered and it was almost unrecognizable.
10:58Because of the request of lawyers and individuals,
11:01we really cannot force them to show their faces.
11:04I can assure you, I will assure my service that it is theirs.
11:08In the post of Quibuloy's lawyer,
11:10it was mentioned that there was a dispute
11:12over the agreement on the transfer of the pastor,
11:14although it is not clear what it is exactly.
11:17The word mugshot was also mentioned in both posts.
11:20The Question City RTC Branch 106
11:23was ordered to transfer Quibuloy and his accomplices
11:26of child and sexual abuse
11:28to the BJMP facility from the PNP Custodial Center.
11:32But the PNP said,
11:33the five will remain in the Custodial Center
11:36as per the order of the Question City RTC Branch 159
11:40where they have a case of Qualified Human Trafficking
11:43that cannot be dismissed.
11:45We don't want to run the risk that they will be transferred to the QC
11:50and they will be bailed and the PNP will no longer have control there.
11:54We just have to really harmonize these court orders.
11:58The PNP spokesperson, Quibuloy, said that it is personal.
12:02He said that it is adjusting.
12:04Of course, it's a new environment,
12:06but according to him, he was able to rest
12:08and it's just a little hot.
12:10But there is an electric fan there.
12:12The Quibuloy's arraignment was held on Friday
12:14via videoconference at the Question City RTC
12:17and in Pasig RTC where they are being personally sent.
12:21The PNP and DOJ are already talking to adjust the schedule.
12:25The Davao Regional Police is preparing to call a court
12:30regarding the cases of Quibuloy
12:32or regarding the complaints that will be filed against the police
12:36of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
12:38It is also possible for the Regional Police to file a complaint against KOJC.
12:43The Regional Legal Office is now studying
12:47what cases we can file against KOJC.
12:51We are still trying to get the opinion of KOJC about this.
12:55The Davao City Council passed a resolution to call the DILG
13:00to investigate the violations of the police
13:03in the constitutional rights of the members of KOJC.
13:06The resolution is approved.
13:09The DILG and the Regional Police Director have nothing to say about this.
