00:00In the first meeting of the former mayor, Alice Guo, in the Quad Committee in the House of Representatives,
00:04she was immediately sighted in contact
00:06due to the avoidance of answering the questions of the congressmen.
00:09Here is the first news from Chino Gaston.
00:15Are you Chinese? I don't eat Hopia.
00:17I'm Filipino.
00:19Why do Filipinos eat Hopia?
00:23I don't eat Hopia. Thank you.
00:25This is the answer of Alice Guo of
00:28asking for Hopia in the middle of the Quad Committee hearing
00:31of the Chamber of Deputies.
00:33The questions of whether Guo is really Filipino were raised again,
00:37as well as her escape from the country.
00:39She was also shown the class pictures
00:42from the report of GMA Integrated News
00:44last July about those who said
00:47that their former mayor became their classmate.
00:50Can you please enlighten us who is in this picture?
00:54For that question,
00:56I think I cannot answer.
00:58I invoke my right against self-incrimination
01:00since I have a pending case about the citizenship.
01:04But would you agree with me if I would say
01:06that you look like the person in the picture?
01:08Ma'am, I will not confirm.
01:11Also in this picture,
01:13it was taken from a Chinese newspaper
01:15when she won the mayor of Bamban.
01:17At first, Guo said that her father
01:20was being greeted by the Chinese community
01:22because her father is Chinese.
01:24But it was different when a congressman asked
01:28other Chinese people.
01:31And according to them,
01:32the exact translation of these characters
01:36goes like this.
01:37Congratulations to the first Chinese mayor,
01:43Alice Leal Guo of Bamban.
01:46Ma'am, there is no such statement.
01:48At first, Guo said...
01:50Your Honor, I am not too sure about the statements.
01:54I think it's better if we get a translator
01:57for that.
01:59My understanding is that
02:02she is congratulating me, my father.
02:07Guo repeatedly answered the questions
02:11about the citizenship in Pogo
02:13and what is the associated content
02:15with money laundering and other crimes.
02:17You answered that you went to Malaysia.
02:20My question is, why did you invoke
02:23the right against self-incrimination?
02:25Now, I am asking, why did you invoke it?
02:29I understand my rights now, Your Honor.
02:32What?
02:33I understand my rights now, Your Honor.
02:36After numerous hearings in the Senate,
02:39you only understood your rights now?
02:42While you have been invoking it a thousand times?
02:45Don't make a fool out of us, mother.
02:48Because of Guo's non-answering questions,
02:52Guo was given notice.
02:54We will cite you in contempt.
02:56You are now detained in Camp CramΓ©.
02:58In fact, I will ask the PNP and the court
03:04why you were granted to be detained
03:07in the Philippine Cusodyal Center.
03:12This will be your last warning.
03:14According to the former PNP chief,
03:16according to PAN Corp official Raul Villanueva,
03:19Guo was detained in the Payroll Umanon.
03:22The current PNP chief,
03:24Police General Rommel Marville,
03:27asked PAN Corp to name their target.
03:30We are investigating 24 of our former chiefs of PNP
03:34who were involved.
03:35We are not happy with what he said.
03:37Since he is under oath, he has to tell us
03:39because it affects the whole organization.
03:41Who is the PNP official that you remember
03:46who courtesy called you as the mayor?
03:48I remember that I was able to visit the office of PD.
03:55Provincial Director.
03:57Who is the Provincial Director that you are referring to?
04:02The current PD.
04:05I forgot the name.
04:07Mr. Chair, I'm willing to tell the truth.
04:10Just believe me.
04:11Don't think that I'm lying.
04:14I will tell you all the truth in the executive session.
04:17Where is the truth?
04:19Where is the truth?
04:20On how I was released.
04:24The former senator and former PNP chief,
04:27Ping Laxon, has a doubt.
04:28Villanueva only said gossip
04:30that the Pogos have a protector,
04:32the former chief of the police.
04:34Even so, he said,
04:35the information still needs to be verified.
04:38We are still trying to get the statement
04:40of the other former PNP chiefs.
04:43This is the first news.
