00:00Meanwhile, the House Squad Committee withdrew its contempt order dismissing Mayor Alice Guo, Cassandra Leong and Tony Yang.
00:08The committee also issued a summary of their hearings, but their investigation is not yet complete.
00:15We have first news, Bea Pinlap.
00:17The contempt order was removed by the camera, dismissed by Mayor Alice Guo,
00:26Chinese businessman Tony Yang, and Whirlwind Corporation stakeholder Cassandra Leong.
00:32They are the personalities who played a major role in the operation of illegal fireworks
00:37based on the investigation of the House Squad Committee.
00:40Leong requested that he be released from being detained in the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
00:46The Sikhs and the doctors of the CIW and the House of Representatives
00:52confirm that he is not fit to attend and withstand the Congressional hearings.
00:58We are done with him and we believe that what she has said before the committee is sufficient enough.
01:06The committee also issued a medical condition to lift the contempt order against Yang.
01:11He is currently confined in a hospital in Taguig.
01:14Yang is facing multiple complaints under the custody of PAOC.
01:19Even though the contempt order was lifted by the camera to Guo, he is still not released
01:24because the court ordered that Guo be jailed in Pasig City Jail for his non-bailable case of qualified trafficking.
01:31The House Squad Committee also removed the contempt order against Police Major Leo Laraga,
01:37who is one of the personalities being investigated by the committee for extrajudicial killings under the Duterte administration.
01:45He was asked by his lawyer about the motion for certiorari that they filed in the Supreme Court.
01:51It's contradictory. He's asking us to lift the contempt order while he's filing in the Supreme Court,
01:56questioning the mandate and the powers and the authority of the Quadcom.
02:01He apologized for it. In the spirit of Christmas,
02:04Mr. Chairman, I move to lift the contempt order for Major Leo Laraga.
02:12The summary of the Quadcom's hearings was also presented,
02:16which will also include their progress report.
02:19The Quad Committee has started to uncover a grand criminal enterprise
02:24and it would seem that at the center of it is the former president.
02:30We will try to get the statement of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
02:35who previously said that he is ready to face all the responsibilities in the drug war.
02:40According to Barbers, their investigation is not yet completed.
02:44We want to include a part of the investigation on Pogo.
02:51It's an entirely new information. That's why we're trying to assess and another witness is willing to,
02:59or probably will come out if he and she is willing to divulge whatever they know.
03:07They are currently in the 15th hearing of their investigation.
03:13Here is the first news.
