00:00Good evening, John Visayas and Mindanao.
00:04He's not a mastermind, but a victim.
00:08That's what Alice Goh is trying to say.
00:11She's ready to teach.
00:13She's the most guilty in the case of illegal fireworks.
00:17And when she gave her executive session,
00:20a senator said that they have someone here.
00:23Sual Mayor Don Calugay is also facing a relationship
00:27that was left due to the increase in taxes
00:30and increased in the waiver to open his bank account.
00:34Sandra Aguinaldo is live.
00:37Sandra.
00:40Mel, Emil, Vicky, you know that today,
00:43the committee of the Senate is preparing
00:47to finish their hearings on fireworks.
00:51In fact, in the next hearing, that might be the last one.
00:55But in the hearing today,
00:57Mayor Alice Goh said that she's not a mastermind,
01:01but a victim.
01:06Are you a mastermind or are you willing to say
01:10that there's someone behind this whole operation?
01:15Your Honor, I'm not a mastermind.
01:18I can say that I'm a victim.
01:21That's what Ms. Melban Mayor Alice Goh said
01:24when the Senate heard earlier about illegal fireworks.
01:28Do you use a criminal syndicate,
01:34international group or crime syndicate?
01:39Your Honor, I didn't use it.
01:42If ever I was helped,
01:46I'm a helpful person.
01:49If ever I was helped, that's all.
01:51But in the activities that I did
01:56or in the allegations,
01:59I didn't do anything.
02:01Are you guilty or are you the most guilty
02:05or do you think there's someone more guilty than you
02:08in this operation?
02:11I'm not guilty.
02:14So you're not the most guilty.
02:16There's someone more guilty,
02:19someone who's really a mastermind.
02:22Your Honor, I think after a long investigation,
02:27the committee knows,
02:29especially by our Madam Chairman,
02:32who's really at the back of everything.
02:35In this session, are you willing to say
02:38who's the most guilty?
02:43Yes, Your Honor.
02:45Earlier, she asked for an executive session
02:49to answer the questions of the Senators
02:52about who helped her to get out of the country.
02:55She said she's in charge of her safety
02:57so it's not like she mentioned a name.
03:00It came to the point where she was written down
03:03the name of the person who helped her
03:05who was later described by some Senators
03:07as one of the brains of illegal fireworks activities in the country.
03:11Some Senators thought that this is the right time
03:14for Guo's executive session.
03:17But Guo said he's not with his lead counsel.
03:20I would like to be with my counsel,
03:23my lead counsel.
03:25So in the next and possibly last hearing?
03:28Yes.
03:29That's why the Senators convinced him.
03:32In the end, his other lawyers were there.
03:35Don't worry.
03:37We're not traitors here.
03:41If you have something to say,
03:43just say it to us.
03:45Guo also agreed.
03:46That's why the executive session lasted for a few minutes
03:50because the Senators still have a session.
03:52Senator J.V. Ejercito said
03:54there's a chance for a short talk.
03:57The executive meeting will continue next week
04:01and Guo will remind us of what happened.
04:04Cassandra Lee Ong also attended the hearing
04:06where she answered questions
04:08about her involvement in the fireworks operation in Porac.
04:11In particular, her involvement with Duanren Wu,
04:14who is said to be one of the leaders
04:16in the illegal fireworks operation.
04:18Ong became emotional when she was told
04:21how she met Wu.
04:23Who introduced you to Duanren?
04:25My mother.
04:26Your mother introduced you?
04:28Yes.
04:29What's the relationship between Duanren and your mother?
04:31They said they're best friends.
04:33They're like my parents.
04:37When my mother left,
04:39when she arrived,
04:41she just left.
04:42If I may, Senator Sherwin,
04:44why were you crying, Ms. Cassandra?
04:50At that time,
04:52my mother just passed away.
04:54Did she just disappear?
04:59Or did she die?
05:01My mother died.
05:03That's when Duanren Wu arrived.
05:07He's the one who introduced you to the Whirlwind Corporation?
05:12Yes, Mr. Sherwin.
05:14Senator Gingio Estrada asked
05:16the mayor of Kalugay
05:18about their relationship with Gu.
05:20He explained about his belongings,
05:23particularly the Happy Penguin Resort in Sual,
05:26which is said to be owned by Kalugay.
05:28Is it possible that Gu hid here
05:31and ran away?
05:33Kalugay is a former police officer
05:35with a rank of PO-1.
05:37Senator Gingio Estrada's point is
05:39that his belongings increased
05:41when he became mayor,
05:42which is what Kalugay denied.
05:44He also denied that he has a bank account
05:47with P100 million in it.
05:49In the end, Kalugay signed a waiver
05:52to open his bank accounts.
05:54Attorney Edgar Alan Reyes.
06:25Vicky?
06:27Sandra,
06:28the details in the executive session
06:30were a bit bitter,
06:31because it was confidential.
06:32But what was the mood of the senators
06:35after this,
06:36if you had a chance to see them earlier?
06:42Vicky, when they left the room,
06:44they immediately went to the session
06:47because they were being chased.
06:50Their faces looked serious
06:53and they were ready to participate
06:56in the session earlier.
06:58But what we witnessed
07:00when Alice Goh spoke,
07:03she was ready to reveal some details,
07:07like what she said,
07:09the mastermind,
07:10we also saw that the senators reacted
07:12as if they were excited
07:15or interested
07:17in what Alice Goh might say.
07:20And in fact,
07:21after the hearing,
07:23Vicky,
07:24there was another scene
07:25that we saw earlier,
07:26where the senators were trying
07:28to convince Alice Goh
07:30to proceed with the executive session.
07:33Vicky?
07:34Sandra,
07:35do you have an idea
07:36when exactly the part 2
07:38of the executive session will happen
07:40and what topic the senators
07:42would like to discuss?
07:45Sandra?
07:48Yes, Vicky,
07:49what we saw earlier
07:51and what was repeated
07:53at the end of the hearing earlier
07:55is the continuation
07:57of the next hearing.
07:59Of course,
08:00some senators also said
08:02in the past
08:03that they did not expect
08:05that Alice Goh would say
08:07something serious
08:09because what they sensed
08:12during the hearings
08:14was that she was also protecting
08:16the people who might be
08:18higher than her.
08:19But even so,
08:20when she spoke earlier,
08:22we saw that the senators
08:26were also listening.
08:27Maybe,
08:28if the executive session
08:29is held,
08:30Alice Goh might say something
08:32about the Pogo operations
08:34and the personalities
08:35behind it.
08:36Vicky?
08:37Alright,
08:38thank you very much,
08:39Sandra Aguinaldo.
