00:00The public's reaction to the arrest of the former Bantarlac Mayor, Alice Guo, has increased.

00:06The netizens are also praising Alice Guo's fan meet-and-greet with some government officials.

00:13This is what Professor Antonio Contreras will discuss in Punto de Vista, Professor.

00:24Thank you very much, Dayan, and good morning to all of you in the studio.

00:28Of course, there's a lot of news about the arrest, arresting, and surrendering of Pastor Apollo Kebuloy,

00:34but that's what we'll talk about tomorrow.

00:36Now, let's first talk about the arrest of the former Bantarlac Mayor, Alice Guo, last week.

00:46And a lot of people are saying that it seems like she became a celebrity.

00:52Others are saying that the proof of arrest is not a mugshot, but a selfie.

01:00So a lot of people are really wondering, because when ordinary citizens are arrested,

01:05they still show it to the public through a mugshot,

01:10or they are in a queue in a line, and we can see that they look sad, they are already in tears.

01:18Meanwhile, these big shots seem like they still have the will to be arrested, right?

01:26So, we can say that, you know, this is how I will look at it.

01:34We cannot blame Alice Guo for feeling that she is a celebrity,

01:40because the investigation that was done on her seems like she became a celebrity.

01:45Because, in truth, the purpose of hearings in aid of legislation is to gather data, information,

01:54and see what are the flaws, what are the loopholes in the law.

01:58What should be more important is what was her participation in POGO,

02:05what was her participation in the illegal things that happened there, inside.

02:12What are the flaws of the agencies, why did she have a passport and a birth certificate,

02:19that's why she was able to run in the elections.

02:21What is being investigated here are the agencies of the government that may have been negligent or neglected.

02:27Instead, Alice Guo's life became a center.

02:30Even her love life became a center, even her boyfriend, her childhood.

02:37You know, we humans are fond of drama.

02:42And you know, we have a lot of characters,

02:45like the characters in TV, social media, or the characters in fiction,

02:51of heroes who were listened to by the audience, but were appeased by powerful people.

02:58So, it's very easy for an ordinary citizen to shift, to have confusion,

03:03to look like Robin Hood.

03:06We can't get rid of that.

03:08So, we can also go back,

03:10it seems like there was an inordinate attention to her personality, to her narratives,

03:17that's why she continues to feel that she is a celebrity.

03:21Alice Guo is a very important person.

03:24In fact, even cabinet secretaries joined her, right?

03:28And Ms. Alice Guo knows that she is an important personality because she has a lot of secrets.

03:37There are times when she wants to keep quiet

03:39because she may disclose information that will be disastrous to them.

03:44And there are times when she wants to use it for her personal political ambitions.

03:49That is what is saddening here.

03:52Because instead of justice and the truth of what came out,

03:56what we call in political science, in optics,

03:59the political optics, political representation,

04:02is the one that can lead and dominate.

04:05And hopefully, that is what we should not avoid

04:07because when that comes out,

04:08the focus can be diffused in the search for the truth and the facts.

04:14So, that is my point of view for today.

04:18Thank you very much, and I will return to you in the studio.

04:23And thank you very much, Professor Contreras.
