00:00We will face later Dismissed Mbantarlak Mayor Alice Guo in the hearing of the House Quad Committee regarding the illegal fireworks.
00:07Before that, we will go out to investigate the NBI that Guo's signatures on his counter affidavit were not in line with his signatures in the Senate Attendance and other documents.
00:18We have the first news, Dano Tingcungco.
00:22In the Senate Attendance, Alice Guo was the one who signed the counter affidavit that was notarized in Bulacan on August 14.
00:32The Contra Salaysay is now questioning Guo because he was not in the Philippines at that time, so it is impossible for him to be in front of the notary for this.
00:41But Guo said that he signed the counter affidavit on the first week of July before he left the country.
00:47I signed the last page of the document.
00:51Where did you sign it?
00:52I signed it before I left.
00:54Who prepared this page for you to sign?
00:57Sen, there was a case filed against me that invoked my right.
01:01But it appears in the investigation of the NBI, when Guo's signature was compared to the counter affidavit and his signature in the Senate Attendance on September 9,
01:10as well as in his S.A.L.N. and Executive Orders when he was still sitting as mayor, the signatures did not match.
01:16According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, Guo is lying.
01:21Sen. Risa Ontiveros said that the chairperson of the committee investigating the POGO should not only be the client but also the lawyer.
01:30And this should also be investigated by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.
01:34We are still trying to get the statement of Guo's lawyer regarding the results of the investigation of the NBI.
01:39But in addition to the counter affidavit of Guo, even though it was not a personal question,
01:45Guo's lawyers have small evidence that the Justice Department may return them.
01:50If you file a case, especially if it's a lawyer who is doing his job, you don't have evidence, just speculations.
02:00That's rare because we can also file a case in a boot spot.
02:06Qualified Human Trafficking has been added to the cases that Guo is facing in court.
02:10The case that was filed in Pasig RTC, according to the DOJ, is now available.
02:15The DOJ is hoping that the court will issue a warrant of arrest,
02:18especially since the Senate has already announced a possible final hearing on the issues related to POGO.
02:24There is a possibility that she will already be released from the Senate's custody.
02:28The DOJ has no jurisdiction over the courts to determine the timing of the release or issue of the warrant of arrest.
02:35Of course, it would be in our favor that she will not be released.
02:41The plan of Guo's camp is to wait for the time when the contempt order of the Senate will be released.
02:46Who wants a person to be jailed in Pasig City? You have no conviction.
02:51Meanwhile, here in the facility of POGO, her safety is of prime concern.
02:59David assured that when it comes to the court, Guo will speak.
03:03In the court, the prosecution cannot say that you're lying, that's not true.
03:10They cannot say that I don't believe you, you're lying. That's not allowed.
03:14Meanwhile, the PNP said that they are taking the Senate hearing seriously.
03:18There was a former PNP chief, Omanon, who was on the payroll of Guo and helped him escape.
03:24Well, no less than the chief PNP talked to me about that.
03:28He said that he wants to tell our media colleagues that there is no sacred cow in this investigation,
03:36even if it means holding a former chief PNP liable.
03:41Following Guo's escape, PNP investigated other names but there was no former PNP chief.
03:48We will see how far we can get evidence or calculate information against this former chief PNP.
03:59According to the former PNP chief and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,
04:03the former PNP chiefs are in charge of this information.
04:07Twenty-four ex-PNP chiefs are still alive today.
04:11Before they released it, it should be confirmed that it was validated by the judge.
04:17Once validated, it should be known who the person is and the name should be stated.
04:24It should not be said that he is a former chief PNP.
04:28It's like a conspiracy.
04:35Is this part of a grand political plan?
04:39It's just like a conspiracy.
04:44This is the first news, Dano Tincunco for GMA Integrated News.
05:04Thank you for watching GMA Pinoy TV and www.gmanews.tv.
