00:00Colleagues, not only the former mayor of Bamban is involved in questionable businesses,
00:06even the mayor of Suwal, Pangasinan, is showing that he is also a partner.
00:12Now, we are also seeing other surprising transactions between Gua Huaping and the companies associated with Mayor Calugay.
00:23And despite all the lies and evasive statements thrown around during this hearing,
00:28one important point has emerged, that there is an allegation, no less, that a former chief PNP is implicated in the escape of Gua Huaping.
00:41This is a big news and it is very disturbing to hear.
00:46It is true that Pogo Money has already reached the highest level of our government, if this is true.
00:54If we do not stop this escape, it may be true that the next president, the next senators, the next local government leaders of our country are bankrolled by Pogo Money.
01:08We will not allow this to continue.
01:12We will not allow our country to be the home of the wicked or to be the playground of the tyrants.
01:21Ms. Sheila Guo, I am asking you, I hope you will answer truthfully.
01:28And if it is true that you are not guilty, do not be afraid, point out the people who are clearly using you.
01:38Gua Huaping, the committee has not lifted your contempt citation.
01:44We will continue to request your appearance from the Valenzuela court for our succeeding hearings.
01:51Mayor Calugay, we are not yet done asking you questions, so please make yourself available in succeeding hearings.
01:59Yes, Madam Chair.
02:02To all those who have nothing more to say, thank you and this hearing is suspended.
