00:00Some senators are planning to approve the Filipino citizenship of a Chinese businessman.
00:08In the middle of the ruling, their partner, the senator, because of the red flags.
00:14On the other hand, the connection between this and Pogo was broken by Mark Salazar.
00:22This Monday, in the 19 to 1 vote in the Senate plenary, the third and final reading was approved.
00:29The request for the Filipino citizenship of Liduan Wang, a Chinese businessman known as Mark Ong,
00:36who has been doing business in the Philippines since 1991.
00:40It was approved quickly in the plenary, along with other local bills approved.
00:45But wait, it was said that there was a contradiction in Liduan Wang's request.
00:50I could not in good conscience vote to grant Filipino citizenship to Liduan Wang.
00:56And in my interpellation on this issue, we learned that Liduan Wang hid a lot of red flags in Congress.
01:13Liduan Wang is the junket operator and associate of Duan Renwu,
01:18the so-called big boss of the raided Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
01:24His business is in the same building of the business of Sir Z. Zhang, a self-confessed Chinese spy.
01:33He is connected to the Philippine Xinjiang UC Association,
01:38which is said to be part of the United Front Work of the Communist Party of China.
01:44And in the official documents of the SEC, he lied and presented as a Filipino, Mark Ko Ong.
01:54Onteveros said that he is not punishing Liduan Wang, but there are a lot of red flags.
02:00He should not immediately grant Filipino citizenship.
02:04Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said that when he heard about the red flags,
02:09he asked for additional requirements from Wang before agreeing to his citizenship bill.
02:14Everything is in order. All the required documents are there.
02:20They asked for requirements from the National Intelligence Coordinating Council.
02:26These three agencies have certifications that they don't see anything bad and there are no negative reports.
02:34There is no concrete evidence that Liduan Wang will be granted citizenship in Pogo.
02:38In a normal process, the court requests naturalization or a process for a foreigner to become a Filipino citizen.
02:47But there are famous foreigners who were granted Filipino citizenship through the law
02:53passed by the House and Senate, like some basketball players and a Canadian vlogger.
02:59In their citizenship bill, there is an important contribution to our society.
03:05That's why Gatchalian asked what is special about Liduan Wang.
03:09It's not your contribution, it's really an earth-shaking contribution.
03:14He owns a school, a small private school in Cagayan de Oro.
03:20He has been here for a long time.
03:22For us, if your parents are Chinese, even if you were born here, you are still Chinese.
03:27Because he has been here for a long time, he knows how to speak Bisaya.
03:31He has been doing business here for a long time.
03:33There are no derogatory reports about him.
03:37There is no issue of moral turpitude.
03:39In the profiling of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC,
03:44which is one of the bases of Senator JVRC,
03:47Wang has been in the Philippines for a long time and his children are studying here.
03:52He is also an active member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
03:59GMA Integrated News is also collecting information about Liduan Wang on this issue.
04:05For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
