Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva blasted POGO-linked Tony Yang during a Senate hearing on Tuesday
"Alam mo, ginag*go tayo nitong Chinese national na ito. Marunong kang managalog at magbisaya eh. Kunwari lang 'di ka marunong eh," said Estrada at one of Yang's alleged untruthful responses.
"I don't expect you to answer this committee honestly, but I just hope that you rot in jail," said Villanueva minutes thereafter.
Earlier today, Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros bared that Tony Yang, the brother of Michael Yang, an economic adviser during the Duterte administration, was named as the president of a firm that is a service provider of a POGO hub linked to a Pharmally executive.

00:00So before, a few years ago, there was a police who offered me and asked me if I want to buy a gun.
00:09Who is that police?
00:10According to Mr. Yang that I asked a while ago.
00:14So he doesn't know the name, the English name, because he doesn't know English.
00:20I know you understand Tagalog and the Visayan language.
00:37You're making a fool out of us Filipinos here.
00:46Senator Joel.
00:47Yes, Madam Chair. It's really saddening.
00:52How we will be surrounded by these Chinese nationals.
00:59Madam Chair, let me also ask.
01:02When you were arrested, Mr. Tony Yang, when you were arrested in Cagayan de Oro Airport,
01:10a lot of people saw that you were escorted by the police on September 19.
01:18May we know who escorted you? Why were you escorted by the police?
01:27Okay. Mr. Yang, I have a question.
01:29On September 19, when you were arrested in Cagayan Airport,
01:34a lot of people saw that you were escorted by the police on September 19.
01:38May we know who escorted you? Why were they escorted by the police?
01:43Where?
01:44When you were arrested in Cagayan Airport, on September 19.
01:51I wasn't arrested in Cagayan Airport. I was in Manila Airport.
01:57No police escorted me.
02:00So it was in Manila Airport when I was caught and there was no police who was with me.
02:07Anyway, I don't expect you to answer this committee honestly.
02:16But I just hope that you rot in jail.
