00:00In other news, there is a crucial personality that Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo confirmed in the Executive Session
00:07this Tuesday regarding the illegal fireworks.
00:10The former PNP Chief, Benjamin Acorda, is ready to confront the Senate
00:14and he was able to get a picture with some of the personalities that were involved in the fireworks.
00:20This is the news of June Veneration.
00:23There was a few minutes of Executive Session of the Senators,
00:26Cai Dismissed, Balban Mayor, Alice Guo.
00:29The Executive Session was not wasted.
00:32You know, I'm not at liberty to share with you.
00:36I haven't digested everything yet.
00:40If she is the least guilty, if she lied before, she has a reason.
00:48The important thing is that this is an icebreaker.
00:50The important thing is to put Alice first.
00:54I think there are masterminds behind this big operation.
00:58The important thing is to say who it is.
01:01The Chairperson of the Committee on Women and Children, Senator Risa Ontiveros,
01:05is not very satisfied.
01:07But...
01:08There was one crucial personality confirmed by Ngo Kwa Ping.
01:13There was one crucial personality confirmed by Ngo Kwa Ping.
01:17This corroborates a theory that the committee shared a month ago.
01:21Because of the confidentiality of the session,
01:23the Senator was not able to determine who the person was.
01:29The Executive Session will continue next week.
01:32We will invite the next speaker to the Senate,
01:35former PNP Chief Benjamin Acorda Jr. and other PNP officials.
01:40We deem it important to give them a platform to respond in the interest of fairness.
01:45General Acorda gave us the assurance,
01:49members of the Council of Chiefs, that he's not doing anything wrong.
01:55And he's not the chief PNP that is being targeted.
01:59General Villanueva also denied the source of information.
02:04The invitation to the Senate is not yet accepted.
02:08The invitation to the Senate is not yet accepted by Acorda,
02:11but he's ready to face it.
02:13He admitted that he was injured in a car crash.
02:16It really hurts because for 37 years, I tried to keep my records clean.
02:21But just for one picture or many pictures,
02:25and with so many inventions, it was destroyed immediately.
02:30But that's part of the service.
02:34According to Acorda,
02:35he was never involved in the illegal operations of POGO and other illegal transactions.
02:40On the same day, he ordered the raid of POGO in Bambantarlac last March.
02:44I never tolerated or transacted illegal activities with my friends.
02:50Even if they helped their country,
02:53and if there's anything that needs to be discussed,
02:57I'm just legal.
02:58I did not transact illegally.
03:00Retired Brigadier General Raul Villanueva, a PACOR official,
03:04said on September 17 that there's an unverified intel report
03:08that an ex-PNP chief helped POGO,
03:11and he's still in jail.
03:14In his next appearance in the Senate,
03:16he asked the ex-PNP chief for help,
03:18who was affected by what he said.
03:20I can face anybody squarely eye to eye without flinching an eye.
03:24I can say that we're clean there.
03:27I can tell Alice that we have nothing to do there.
03:29If she runs away, I will not accept money from her.
03:34Alice and her brother, Sheila, who is currently in custody
03:39of the National Bureau of Investigation.
03:41According to the Bureau of Immigration,
03:43she was transferred there because of security concerns.
03:47The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is currently in custody.
03:50The former economic advisor, Michael Young,
03:55is studying the NBI and prosecutors
03:58who filed a complaint of falsification and use of alias against him.
04:02So that he will not be deported.
04:03So that he will have a reason to be left in the Philippines
04:05and face criminal charges.
04:07Young admitted that he's a Chinese national,
04:09but his grandfather helped him to get a birth certificate
04:15to be initiated in the Philippines.
04:16Various agencies are investigating Young's possible affiliation with POGO.
04:22We will look into the various businesses of Tony Young,
04:25the warehouse, possible POGO,
04:29to see what could be a heavier crime against him.
04:33There is a deportation case in the Bureau of Immigration of Young
04:37because of misrepresentation and undesirability.
