00:00Some senators are not convinced that there is no Filipino help to get Alice Wu out of the Philippines.
00:06Yesterday, they asked the Philippine Coast Guard why Wu's car was not intercepted when they ran away.
00:14Ian Cruz has the first news.
00:17Do you still want to disobey us?
00:20You're getting on my nerves.
00:23You're getting on my nerves.
00:24Because Alice Wu still does not want to explain how and who helped her get out of the country this July in the middle of the pandemic.
00:32In her life, senators just wrote the names of those who helped her.
00:37It was not published by the senators.
00:40But Senator Arisa Ontiveros said that this person was already mentioned in the first hearings.
00:46It's a Chinese name. I'm not sure. I might be wrong.
00:48But how many names were written, sir?
00:50Just one. Just one.
00:52Senator Jingo Estrada said,
00:54He is a Chinese national and allegedly, based on the reports that I have received, he fled the country and he is now in Taiwan.
01:07I heard that he is the boss of all the bosses of POGO.
01:11Alice Wu said that she also heard that someone was helping her.
01:17So I asked her, if you told her that you're not going to pray, why did she ask you to flee?
01:24Why did she ask you to borrow money?
01:27So my conclusion to that is, maybe that's why Alice Wu was asked to leave the country.
01:34Maybe she was singing this song to facilitate her escape.
01:41Senators believe that there is a Filipino involvement in Alice Wu's departure from the country.
01:45That's why the Coast Guard was asked at the hearing of the transportation budget,
01:48why the yacht that was hijacked was not intercepted.
01:52In our existing memorandum circular on pre-departure inspection,
01:57vessels which are non-common carrier, we are now revising the circular, Your Honor,
02:04so the Coast Guard will have a role in the enforcement in this kind of vessels, Your Honor.
02:10You could have done that even before.
02:13Why do we need an Alice Wu incident before we can anticipate such a scenario and then cover it?
02:22The regulation was made in 2009 and I'm taking my role now to revise it, Your Honor.
02:30The hearing will continue on September 17, when the Tarlac Court also allowed Alice Wu to escape.
02:37This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
