00:00The search is over for Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo after she was arrested in Indonesia.
00:19The DOJ and NDI will send a team to investigate the return of the dismissed mayor to the Philippines.
00:26But the DOJ said that the return to the country is not that simple.
00:32Here's Salima Refran.
00:37In this apartment in Tanggerang City in Indonesia, the search is over for Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
00:44She was arrested by the Indonesian police early this morning in the Philippines.
00:51According to NBI, her hair is shorter now
00:54compared to when she last appeared in the Senate in May.
00:58In order to hide her identity,
01:01we found out that the Indonesian police
01:09cut her hair to conceal her identity.
01:15Together with the PNP, Immigration, NBI, and Indonesian authorities,
01:21the Indonesian authorities have been backtracking for more than a week in Jakarta and nearby areas.
01:27Like this CCTV footage where Alice Guo was seen riding a riding app.
01:33On August 20, Guo was seen arriving at an airport in Indonesia.
01:38In the video from our source,
01:40we can see that she was accompanied by a man,
01:43known by the source as Duan Renwu,
01:46the Chinese boss of Lucky South 99 Pugo in Purak, Pampanga.
01:50The basis of the arrest of Mayor Alice Guo in Indonesia
01:54was the information given by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration
01:57that we have a mission order issued against her
02:00because we know that she is facing a deportation case here in the Philippines
02:05for being an undesirable alien as well as for misrepresentation.
02:11We also sent her information about her other cases.
02:18We noticed that there were a lot of violations inside the airport.
02:23There are complaints filed against Guo in the Department of Justice,
02:27but nothing has been filed in court.
02:30This includes qualified human trafficking, tax evasion,
02:33and violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
02:36This July, Alice Guo and her siblings were released from the country.
02:42On August 22, Alice Guo's sister, Sheila,
02:45and her business partner, Cassandra Ong,
02:48returned to the country after being arrested in Indonesia.
02:52But unlike them, Alice Guo's situation was different.
02:58It's not that simple.
03:00But there are other issues between Indonesia and the Philippines
03:03that have to be resolved when it comes to this.
03:06We have a lot of pending incidents.
03:09Alice Guo might be put in the middle of pending incidents
03:14so that we can reach an agreement.
03:16Immigration arrested Sheila and Cassandra
03:19and they were deported due to an immigration violation.
03:22Indonesian police arrested and arrested Mayor Guo.
03:26That's why PNP and the Department of Interior and Local Government
03:29are Indonesia's top priority when it comes to this.
03:34There are other issues that need to be discussed
03:36between the Philippines and Indonesia.
03:39It will depend on the certain elements
03:43and certain situations emanating from Indonesia
03:46and the Indonesian authorities.
03:48We will also talk to them.
03:50The DFA will be talking to them also.
03:53Remulya also did not specify what these issues are.
03:56But on several Indonesian news websites,
03:59Guo asked Indonesia to turn over to them
04:03the Australian Gregor Johan Haas,
04:06one of the most wanted drug suspects in Indonesia
04:10and said to be a member of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel of Mexico.
04:14Haas was arrested in Bogo, Cebu last May
04:17on Interpol's red notice visa
04:20after he was charged in Indonesia
04:22with drug smuggling,
04:24a crime with a death penalty.
04:28Meanwhile, the team of NBI agents
04:31and senior prosecutors will send the DOJ
04:34to investigate on Guo's return.
04:37Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,
04:40we can bring Ali back here.
04:42We will direct him to the BI,
04:44Bureau of Immigration,
04:46for immigration violations.
04:49And then we will turn him over to us.
04:52We will take care of him.
04:54We will process him.
04:56And then we will hand him over to FEMIG.
04:59Remember also that FEMIG
05:02is just a warrant that we hold against him.
05:05According to the Law Minister of Jakarta,
05:07Guo will still be deported.
05:09But it is not clear when,
05:11because it depends on the investigation of the police.
05:14For GMA Integrated News,
05:17I am Sani Marafran, your witness.
05:22According to the legal team of Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo,
05:26it is a welcome development for them
05:28to arrest the former mayor.
05:30It is an opportunity to answer
05:32the allegations against him.
05:34It is important for them
05:36the well-being, safety, and security of Guo.
05:41When Alice Guo returns to the country,
05:43she will be detained by the Senate
05:45where her brother, Sheila Guo, is detained.
05:48And in the Senate hearing earlier,
05:50the matter of the PACCAR office
05:52in a house where there is an illegal operation
05:55Witness, Chino Gaston.
06:01If anyone helped Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to leave the country,
06:05he will be held accountable according to President Bongbong Marcos.
06:08The question is, who will be beaten?
06:11Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
06:13We will not only beat them,
06:15we will also sue them
06:17because what they did
06:19is against the law
06:21and against all of the interests of the Philippines.
06:24It is against the judicial system.
06:26Alice Guo was released by the public
06:28on May 22 in the Senate hearing
06:30about the illegal activities in the Pogos.
06:32After almost three months,
06:34August 19,
06:36the information broke
06:38that Guo had already left the country
06:40in July and arrived in Malaysia,
06:42Indonesia, and Singapore.
06:44One day after that, August 20,
06:46Guo arrived at the airport in Indonesia.
06:48On that day,
06:50Alice's brother, Sheila,
06:53and the body of Lucky South 99,
06:55Cassandra Ong, were arrested.
06:57On camera, Ong was detained
06:59due to a contempt order against her
07:01for not responding to the hearings.
07:03In the Senate, Sheila Guo
07:05and in the same detention room in the Senate
07:07were expected to be directed
07:09by Alice Guo
07:11when she returns to the Philippines.
07:13We assure the safety
07:15and if there is a need
07:17for additional personnel to guard them,
07:1924-7
07:21we will do it.
07:23They will be together in the room
07:25and will be allowed to use their cellphones.
07:27They are not criminals,
07:29they are just serving a contempt order.
07:31But according to Senator Wynne Gatchalian,
07:33if she wants to call
07:35and talk to her lawyer
07:37or other people she needs to talk to,
07:39she should use a cellphone
07:41outside of the detention cell,
07:43a common cellphone,
07:45and with permission, of course,
07:47from our sergeant at arms.
07:50So that is the nature
07:52of detention.
07:54And we can also avoid
07:56her contact with other people
07:58outside. We don't know
08:00who else
08:02she can talk to.
08:04We know that she has links
08:06to syndicates. Maybe
08:08she can talk to these syndicates.
08:10The Senate Committee on Women, Children,
08:12Family Relations, and Gender Equality
08:14still has a lot of questions for Alice.
08:16Like who are the government officials
08:18and who are the law enforcement agencies
08:20who are their supporters
08:22in spreading illegal drugs
08:24in Central Luzon?
08:26I am fully expecting
08:28that she will speak completely
08:30and truthfully because
08:32this arrest proves
08:34that she will not escape.
08:36And those who helped her
08:38to escape, we will not
08:40punish them.
08:42According to what the Senate heard earlier,
08:44the case of a house in Paranaque
08:46is being handled by
08:48the Illegal Pogo Operation.
08:50The court has an office here.
08:52That license
08:54is already canceled.
08:56As of
08:58May 27,
09:00they already
09:02received the cancellation
09:04order due to
09:06violations.
09:08After the Banban
09:10and Porak incident,
09:12we will add
09:1424-7.
09:16That is why, Senator Tulfo,
09:18that was the reason
09:20why our
09:22inspectors
09:24recommended
09:26nine
09:28violations
09:30of the company.
09:32The mere fact that you put an office
09:34where the
09:36IGLs operate,
09:38Pogo,
09:40Pogo a.k.a. IGL,
09:42is not good for the public.
09:44It's not good to look at
09:46because it's like
09:48the Pagcorp
09:50is becoming a collector
09:52for the land.
09:54Senators asked Pagcorp,
09:56Dolly and PNP how
09:58the cancellation of the so-called
10:00208 Illegal Pogos in the whole country
10:02will be. And if
10:04the 41 Pogos
10:06that are legal until
10:08December 31 will be impacted.
10:10The Bureau of Immigration
10:12will cancel
10:14the 9G visas.
10:16It's not possible that
10:18the 9G visas will be cancelled
10:20only on December 31
10:22because if that happens,
10:24how will the so-called
10:26foreign workers leave?
10:28We are here with the cancelled
10:30Alien Employment Permit.
10:32What we cancelled in NCR
10:34as of 2023,
10:3624,361.
10:38Central Zone
10:40513.
10:42Calabar Zone
10:442,121.
10:46And Region 1067.
10:48Now,
10:50if they
10:52were allowed to leave
10:54or not,
10:56our answer
10:58is
11:00we are giving this
11:02to the BI
11:04and they are facilitating
11:06For GMA Integrated News,

11:38to the back of the house
11:40because that's where the fire started.

11:46was the place where the house was burned.

12:12they were allowed to go home
