NewsTranscript
00:00Tony Yang, the brother of the former presidential economic advisor Michael Yang,
00:05admitted that he was born in China even though he has a birth certificate that was issued in the Philippines.
00:10Alice Guo, on the other hand, admitted that she was also just a victim and said that she is ready to sing
00:15about who is really the most guilty in the illegal POGO operations.
00:19Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:21In her statement to the Senate regarding the illegal POGO operations,
00:28Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo said,
00:31Your Honor, I am not a mastermind. I can say that I am just a victim.
00:36I think after a long investigation, the committee already knows,
00:41especially by our Madam Chairman, who is really at the back of everything.
00:47She resumed her executive session.
00:50Are you willing to say who is the most guilty?
00:54Yes, Your Honor.
00:56Guo said that she will take care of her own safety.
00:59That is why it is not appropriate to mention her name.
01:02She also wrote a note with the name of the person who helped her escape,
01:07which was initially depicted by some senators as one of the leaders of the illegal POGO activities in the country.
01:14The executive session continued for a few minutes,
01:18because there is still a session, Senators.
01:20But Senator J.V. Ejercito said,
01:23There is a chance for a short talk.
01:26It will continue next week.
01:28And Guo said that she will remember what happened.
01:31The relationship between Guo and the former mayor of Kalugay,
01:38who is a former police officer, was also reiterated in the hearing.
01:40Kalugay explained about her belongings,
01:44especially the Happy Penguin Resort,
01:47where it is possible that Guo hid before escaping.
01:51Senator J.V. Estrada said that she had a lot of belongings when she was a mayor.
01:57It is appropriate for Kalugay to deny it.
01:59The mayor also denied that she has bank accounts with hundreds of millions of pesos in it.
02:04Kalugay signed a waiver to open her bank accounts.
02:10Senator Riza Ontiveros showed a picture of Kalugay and the former PNP chief, Benjamin Acorda.
02:20We were shocked, Your Honor, because he is the former chief of police of SWAL.
02:26The picture of his brother, Wesley, is also in the picture.
02:30He also wants to see the highest position in the PNP.
02:35Why does he want to see the chief of PNP?
02:38Nothing, Your Honor. I just joined.
02:40I have no idea. I just saw the picture.
02:43In another picture, Tony Yang is with Acorda.
02:48He is the brother of the former presidential economic adviser, Michael Yang,
02:51who is now in jail.
02:53Acorda was not convicted in the hearing,
02:56but when the statement was taken,
02:58his answer is that he loves the country and the PNP.
03:02What his brother did is what a Filipino should do as a police officer.
03:07Tony Yang said,
03:09We get to meet these officials especially when we need some help for the safety of our community.
03:17How long have you known the former chief of PNP?
03:23Because in this picture, it's an older picture.
03:29He was the regional director.
03:31Yes, when he was still in Cagayan as the director, we know each other.
03:36Tony Yang is a Chinese national,
03:38but he also has a Philippine birth certificate.
03:42With the help of a translator,
03:44Tony Yang told that he went to the Philippines first in 1998
03:48when his grandfather started a business here.
03:51He did not know how to speak Tagalog or English.
03:55Where were you born?
03:56I was born in China, in Houtian.
04:00China in Houtian?
04:01How do you spell that?
04:02Houtian, and that means in Houtian province.
04:05Place of birth, Misamis Oriental.
04:08And you just told us you were born in Xinjiang, in Houtian province.
04:13So, a lie on the birth certificate.
04:16Another proof that your birth certificate is irregular.
04:20My grandfather helped me come up with this birth certificate.
04:27And I'm not sure maybe he did this for the convenience of the business here.
04:31Yang Jianxing is his name on the alien certificate of registration.
04:36But Antonio Maestrado Lim is his name on the driver's license, TIN, and GAD permit.
04:42He said he has businesses in rice, steel, and wheels.
04:46No, not now.
04:47Right now, I don't have any related business with the Punggol.
04:52Right now, how about before?
04:54Before, I had a transaction with a Punggol company for renting out a condo unit for them.
05:05The name that I had a transaction with is Tiosui.
05:08Senator Rizal Tiveros asked him, the Punggol service provider,
05:13where did President Yang come from?
05:17They gave me a place to live.
05:19The reason why my name was in Oruan is because during that time, I rented out the place to them.
05:28It's supposed to be a steel plant.
05:30But it looks like there are also pogo-like facilities inside.
05:35There are dorm-style facilities.
05:38There is a restricted area that is not allowed for Filipinos.
05:43There is also a torturer.
05:47How many foreign nationals does this facility have?
05:52During their heyday, we were looking at around 2,000 pogo workers.
05:58But now, ma'am, it's less than 300.
06:03Intel reports came to me.
06:06And of course, the documents that we saw, it all points to a pogo operation.
06:11I asked him if he was close to former President Rodrigo Duterte.
06:15I am not very close with the former President Duterte.
06:21And I don't have contact with him.
06:23How did you meet the former President?
06:25The former President Duterte, he went to Cagayan.
06:29And we had a meeting with the Chinese business groups.
06:33And that's why we were able to meet him.
06:35And we had a photo with him.
06:37For GMA Integrated News, I am Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
