00:00The residents of West Riverside, Barangay San Antonio, visited Quezon City this morning.

00:23The fire was immediately put out by the second alarm.

00:26According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, the fire spread quickly because most of the houses were made of light materials.

00:3350 houses were put out by the fire and around 200 families lost their homes.

00:39The BFP is investigating the cause of the fire as part of the arson.

00:47Qualified Human Trafficking will be added to the cases faced by Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo.

00:54She will be sued by DOJ, as well as several of her business partners and other personalities.

01:00The aforementioned case is now available.

01:02Watch Salima Refran.

01:08Zuniwan Technology was raided in Bawfu Compound in Bambantarlak in March

01:12due to allegations of humanitarian torture, kidnapping, illegal detention, forced labor, and scamming.

01:19She became the subject of a few months of Senate investigation

01:22and questions about the location and connection of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.

01:30Six months after the raid, the allegations of human trafficking against the former mayor were brought to court.

01:37Alice Guo, or Guo Huaping, of Qualified Human Trafficking, is now being sued by the Department of Justice.

01:44It is clear here that there is prima facie evidence of reasonable certainty of conviction

01:49against Mayor Alice Guo and other respondents.

01:52As long as you show that you are involved in the establishment,

01:56in the organization of a business or a company that is involved in human trafficking,

02:02you can be sued by human trafficking.

02:04Guo admitted to the Senate hearings before the incorporation of Bawfu, where Zuniwan is located.

02:11In 2019, Guo bought the land where the compound is now located.

02:16But Guo sold shares in Bawfu before he became mayor in 2022.

02:22I am not a protector or a cattler of Bawfu.

02:26In her counter-argument, Guo stated that it was wrong and misleading

02:30to say that she knew about illegal Bawfu activities because she was a stockholder of Bawfu.

02:36But that counter-argument was the so-called question asked to the notary on August 14,

02:42when Guo was not in the Philippines.

02:45That is why the panel of prosecutors did not notice the so-called counter-argument.

02:49We cannot deny that there were many delaying tactics used by the lawyers of Mayor Alice Guo.

02:54The most dangerous one was the last thing they did.

02:56When the case was submitted for resolution,

02:58they filed a motion to reopen the case with a motion to admit counter-affidavit.

03:02We all know that this is a fake counter-affidavit.

03:04Guo's foreign business partners in Bawfu Land Development are also being prosecuted.

03:09The Chinese fugitive Wang Ji Yang,

03:11and Jiang Rui Jin and Lin Bao Ying who were involved in money laundering in Singapore.

03:16These are people who are notorious for scamming and money laundering.

03:20Now again, the crimes that are alleged to have been committed by Alice Guo

03:26would not have happened if these people did not enable her through their finances.

03:33Former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center Official Dennis Cunanan

03:37and several other respondents from Bawfu Land, Hongsheng Gaming, and Zunyuan Technology will also face charges.

03:44Next week, non-bailable cases will be filed in Tarlac RTC.

03:49The DOJ asked the Supreme Court to transfer the cases to Metro Manila.

03:54Cunanan's lawyer said that they did not expect the DOJ's decision

03:58because there is no evidence that Cunanan is involved.

04:02We are trying to get a statement from the field of other cases,

04:06but there is no response yet.

04:09You have the right to remain silent.

04:11This is separate from Guo's case,

04:13which was filed under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act

04:16based on the arrest warrant that he was faced with when he came from Indonesia

04:20and a commitment order, which is why he is now detained at the PNP Custodial Center.

04:25Now, Guo should be given an arraignment or trial in the Tarlac RTC Branch 109.

04:32But they were denied because of the order of President Judge Sara Vedania de los Santos

04:37to transfer the case from them to Valenzuela RTC.

04:41This was followed by Republic Act 10-660 and Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 10-2024,

04:49which states that a government official's case should not be filed in the judicial region where he works.

04:56According to the Justice Department, the nearest judicial region in Capas is Valenzuela.

05:02On Wednesday, the case will be raffled in Valenzuela RTC.

05:05Guo's lawyer has yet to provide a statement on the so-called text.

05:10Aside from qualified human trafficking and case of graft,

05:13Guo is also facing cancellation of his birth certificate in Tarlac RTC

05:18if this happens in the Manila RTC and deportation case in the Bureau of Immigration.

05:23There are also allegations of money laundering and tax evasion here in the Department of Justice.

05:29In the PNP Custodial Center, Guo is still detained because there is no order to transfer him to jail.

05:35Sen. Rizo Ontiveros also wrote Valenzuela RTC to allow Guo to attend the next Senate hearing on Tuesday.

05:44Guo's body double, Alya Scott, who arrived at the NBI earlier, is also expected to appear in the Senate.

05:51Alya Scott is afraid for her safety.

05:55There was a motorcycle accident. It stopped in front of our house.

05:59When I got out, I was already taking pictures.

06:01But he was wearing a helmet.

06:02We have two more vans.

06:04All of them are men.

06:06One of them hit the terminal.

06:08The other one hit a nearby store.

06:11GMA Integrated News asked Alya Scott about the CCTV video

06:15where it is claimed that she was seen in a Sambales to court those who were chasing the mayor.

06:22Alya Scott did not answer the questions.

06:24For GMA Integrated News, I am Sanima Raffa of Inyong Saksi.

06:31A child was rescued who was being sold online by his own father.

06:35The motive of the suspect is to steal.

06:38Saksi, this is John Consulta.

06:40John Consulta

06:47This man used a human shield on his son during the NBI Special Task Force operation.

06:57But in the end, the 28-year-old was arrested by the suspect.

07:00The allegation against him is that, according to the NBI,

07:03the suspect was following his own 11-month-old son on social media.

07:08We did a verification.

07:10We talked to his report.

07:15We confirmed that he was selling a child for P55,000.

07:21The child was the one who was selling the Sambal.

07:27The motive is to steal from his accomplice who refused to take revenge on him.

07:33The suspect is facing multiple complaints.

07:35We are still trying to get his statement.

07:37We accused him of child trafficking and resistance and disobedience to prisons and authorities.

07:45The Sambal was rescued by the DSWD.

07:48For GMA Integrated News, I am John Consulta of Inyong Saksi.

07:55Kapuso, let's be Saksi together.
