00:00The Senate's investigation into the Pogos has revealed that it is possible that a former PNP chief helped Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to leave the Philippines.
00:08Guo's relationship with the Mayor of Sual, Pangasinan has also been revealed, which means that they don't have a relationship.
00:14Watch Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:20Who helped Alice Guo to leave the Philippines?
00:23Senator Reza Ontiveros asked,
00:25Is it possible that an official or a government employee was involved in the dismissal of a Pag Corps official?
00:41The Pag Corps does not have the name of the former PNP chief, but based on the information they gathered,
00:49there is talk in the intelligence community that this month's dismissal is from Guo.
00:54Is it also included in the talk that this alleged former chief PNP was helped by anyone of our current government officials in the dismissal of Guo Huaping?
01:08Even worse, if historically there is a monthly payroll.
01:24The Pag Corps quickly clarified that this is not yet verified.
01:29The PNP's official said that they did not receive any intelligence report, but they will continue their investigation if there are police involved.
01:39Is it possible to know who this former chief PNP is? I'm concerned because I am a former chief PNP.
01:44Maybe later there will be a script that Bato is receiving money from you.
01:51Nothing like that is happening.
01:54Are you sure?
01:56I'm sure.
01:58Is it true that there is a high-ranking official of the Bureau of Immigration who received Php 200 million to escape Guo?
02:08With the amount of Php 200 million, we were able to get intelligence information with regard to the amount.
02:16But with regard to what I received, that amount that is associated with the BI, I don't have it yet, but we're still validating.
02:32We're part of the investigation, Madam Chair.
02:34In July, Alice Guo left the Philippines, but her counter-affidavit was notarized in August.
02:41How did that happen? Now, she is no longer in the country.
02:44According to Guo's secretary, Kat Salazar, the former mayor called her to ask for a notary
02:51and to get documents from her house in Banbantarlac.
02:54Who did you get the documents from?
02:57It was in her drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
03:00She said that she attached it to the last page of her affidavit.
03:05Did you know that Guo Huabing was no longer in the Philippines that day?
03:09No, Your Honor.
03:10Ms. G, did you know that Mayor Alice was no longer in the Philippines that day?
03:15No, Your Honor.
03:16I was not in a position to ask where she was.
03:20But did you know that she was preparing to leave that day?
03:25No, Your Honor.
03:26Kat Dante, the person who contacted the notary,
03:30personally asked for the documents of a secretary of Guo.
03:35When she returned the documents because there was no signature,
03:37the secretary went to the van.
03:40One of Guo's co-workers went down the window and made a noise.
03:44When the secretary returned from the van, the documents had a signature.
03:48Did you sign the affidavit?
03:50Because we know that Guo Huabing was no longer in the Philippines that day.
03:54No, Your Honor.
03:55Guo said earlier that she signed the signature page of the affidavit on the first Sunday of July.
04:01I signed the last page of the document.
04:04Where did you sign?
04:06I signed it before I left.
04:08Who prepared this page for you to sign?
04:11Sen, there was a case filed against me that invoked my right.
04:15Yet, Guo's lawyers did not know that she was no longer in the Philippines when they filed the counter affidavit.
04:22They also did not personally meet because Guo had a death threat.
04:26The notary, Atty. Elmer Galicia, did not agree.
04:30Atty. Galicia lied.
04:32Because it was not signed in front of Atty. Galicia.
04:36Definitely, she lied.
04:38She should also be prosecuted by the DOJ.
04:40I am a victim.
04:42I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
04:46In the hearing, Kat Salazar admitted that she called the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court,
04:52Mayor Liceldo Dong Calugay, to ask for help with the notarization of the document.
04:58Why did you call Ms. Cheryl, the Chief Executive Assistant of Mayor Calugay, to ask for help?
05:12That was the instruction of ma'am.
05:14That is why Senator Riza believes that Ms. Alice Guo and Mr. Calugay both denied having a relationship.
05:21As for the witnesses in the hearing, the business seems to be booming.
05:25The names of the two are being called.
05:27Most of your names are combined, right?
05:34Lixel, Alice, L-I-C, and Liceldo.
05:39Dong Guo, Dong, and Guo.
05:42You also combined Dong.
05:44Some of their pictures were also shown together.
05:47According to Guo Huaping, you are just friends.
05:52Is that how you will characterize your relationship?
05:56Yes, Madam Chair, we are just friends.
05:59Just friends?
06:00Yes, Your Honor.
06:01Not just friends?
06:02Just friends, Your Honor.
06:04According to Calugay, they met Guo in 2016 when he was looking for a pork supplier.
06:11But they don't have a business or bank account together.
06:14That is why the Senate cut the receipts of construction materials for the pig farm of the Guo family named after Calugay.
06:22I did not pay, Madam Chair.
06:24The story is, Mayor Alice called and asked where can I buy cheap construction supplies
06:33because our family business is construction supplies.
06:37I declared this receipt, Your Honor.
06:40Please, Mayor, they already know him.
06:43Because in October, they bought a lot from them.
06:50Php 292,000.
06:53It is not true that by December, they already forgot Guo Huaping.
06:58That is why you need to give the receipt in your name.
07:01Madam Chair, we don't have a single business partner.
07:05You are under oath.
07:06If you keep on lying before this committee, I might force to cite you in contempt.
07:15Your girlfriend already lied.
07:18You still lied.
07:19I surmise that these businesses are just front for possible money laundering.
07:28Calugay denies that he has a connection with Duan Renwu and Cassandra Leong,
07:33two individuals who were arrested in the Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
07:38For GMA Integrated News, I am Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
07:45Two people were killed in an explosion in front of a beach resort in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur.
07:50Witness, Femarie Dumabo of GMA Regional TV.
07:58Two people were killed in an explosion in front of a beach resort in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur.
08:07One of them was cut by a foot.
08:09Part of the resort and a store were damaged.
08:12A motorcycle was also damaged.
08:15According to the police, based on the testimony of the witnesses,
08:19a white service utility vehicle was seen leaving immediately after the explosion.
08:25A few meters away from the resort, a bag containing ammonium nitrate was seen.
08:30The police are still investigating the type of explosive used.
08:35The investigation continues.
08:37The owner of the resort made it clear that the explosion did not occur inside their resort.
08:43In Zaraga, Iloilo, a businessman was on his way home from their store
08:49when the vehicle was hit by a tricycle.
08:52The tricycle driver and the store's helper were injured.
08:56The businessman was not injured.
09:08Three empty shells and a slug of bullets were recovered from the crime scene.
09:13The police have persons of interest.
09:23The businessmen and the people involved were the ones responsible for the collapse.
09:29The investigation and investigation continues.
09:33For GMA Integrated News, I am Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV.
09:39Your witness.
09:42Gil added that Manila Water and Bawasingin Laman customers
09:47are expected to receive a reduction from October 1.
09:49This is because of the Foreign Currency Differential Adjustment or FCDA
09:53or the loss or income of water concessionaires
09:56when the exchange rate of pesos is fluctuating against the money of other countries
10:00if they are paying abroad.
10:02From October 1 to the end of December,
10:05Manila Water will add 3 pesos and 65 centavos to 16 pesos and 54 centavos
10:11depending on the consumption.
10:13For Manila Water customers,
10:1583 centavos to 6 centavos or 6 pesos and 43 centavos
10:20will be deducted depending on the consumption.
10:23When January 1 arrives,
10:25the exchange rate may change again
10:27because the MWSS Regulatory Office will pass the FCDA.
10:33The number of Chinese ships that passed through the West Philippine Sea
10:37has decreased according to the monitoring of the Philippine Navy.
10:39But in Escuadrillo, there are still more than 60 ships from China
10:43Witness Chino Gaston
10:49In the monitoring of the AFP yesterday in Escoda or Sabina Shoal,
10:5210 ships of the China Coast Guard, 4 Chinese Navy warships,
10:55and 52 militia ships were seen, 65 in total.
11:00After leaving there, the BRP Teresa Magbanua on Sunday,
11:04but according to the Philippine Navy,
11:06They have never been in control.
11:08Their presence there is illegal.
11:11We will continue performing our mandate.
11:13We will not be deterred.
11:15Our guidance is not to let up,
11:18not only in Escoda, Ayungin,
11:20but all over the expanse of the West Philippine Sea.
11:22Whether the BRP Teresa Magbanua is there or not,
11:25there are ways to monitor Escoda Shoal
11:28which is 137 square kilometers wide
11:31and more than 70 nautical miles away from Palawan.
11:36If Palawan, Manila, Agotas, and Malabon join forces,
11:40Sabina Shoal will be that big.
11:42Presence is not only defined as the physical presence.
11:45By monitoring, we mean that we know what's happening.
11:48We see any changes or any developments,
11:51especially on the level of the crash corals.
11:54There's been no marked increase in the pileup of crash corals.
11:57We have not monitored any manmade activity.
12:01According to the Philippine Navy,
12:02of the 207 Chinese ships monitored by the Navy this year,
12:07157 Chinese ships were monitored in the West Philippine Sea.
12:12According to a security analyst,
12:14the situation is more dangerous now
12:16compared to the standoffs in Bahod, Masinloc in 2012.
12:20That's why the government should be careful.
12:23First of all, this is closer to Palawan.
12:26Of course, we have greater capabilities to engage the Chinese.
12:30The Coast Guard now has more ships.
12:32We have the support of our friendly allies.
12:34But at the same time, the Chinese have already their own Coast Guard,
12:38and it's supported by the Chinese Maritime Militia,
12:42the People's Preservation Army, the Navy.
12:44For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chiro Gaston, your witness.
12:50The Philippine National Police formed a special tracker team
12:54to track Attorney Harry Roque who was arrested by the camera.
12:58I'm your witness, Ian Crug.
13:03We're asking for your documents
13:06because of your alleged involvement in the illegal fishing.
13:11You're a man.
13:12You should face us.
13:14You're not the one who's always on the side of the Quad.
13:17This is the challenge of the House Quad Committee
13:19to the former Presidential Spokesperson, Harry Roque.
13:21The documents he's referring to are the ones that will prove
13:25that the land he sold was real money
13:28for his corporations that are now involved in fishing.
13:32Roque has been in his company for a long time
13:35and he has nothing to do with fishing.
13:37We have no interest in his wealth.
13:40What we're interested in is the link between the Bianchang Corporation
13:44and the PH2 Corporation that he owns in Lucky South 99.
13:49Explain to us why your corporation's net worth increased.
13:55In his social media post, Roque said
13:58that he will not be arrested by the committee
14:00that investigates the phobohubs in Pampantarlac and Forak, Pampanga.
14:04I'm not a criminal.
14:06I will wait for the Supreme Court's decision.
14:08If the Supreme Court says to release the documents,
14:11I will release them.
14:13But for now, let's wait for the Supreme Court's decision.
14:18He should be arrested first.
14:19It's not appropriate for him to go up to the Supreme Court
14:23because there is no justiciable issue yet.
14:26So he should be here first.
14:28According to some who are leading the Quadcom,
14:31flight means guilt about Roque's non-confrontation with their committee.
14:35They insist that the Congress has the authority to investigate.
14:39What we're looking for, we cannot promise,
14:41not only the Philippine National Police,
14:43but also enforcement that is helping us in our search.
14:46We still don't have any info on him.
14:48But I know that he's still in the country.
14:50There is a lookout bulletin for him.
14:53On Wednesday, the next hearing of the Quadcom is about the illegal phobohubs.
14:57Among the guests in the next hearing of the Quadcom on Wednesday,
15:01is Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Kuo.
15:04She said that the Quadcom has already sent a letter to Valenzuela RTC
15:08and is waiting for the lawmakers to give the notice
15:11if the former mayor can attend the hearing.
15:14For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
15:20The Department of Justice decided that it is not true
15:22that the court in Timor-Leste
15:24approved the decision in favor of the extradition request of the Philippines
15:28for the former congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
15:31According to the DOJ,
15:33Tevez's camp is trying to push the ruling
15:35by questioning the many judges who made the decision.
15:40Tevez's camp just did that
15:42when the court's decision did not favor them.
15:45The DOJ believes that Tevez is about to return to the country
15:49to face complaints against him.
16:00The feel of fans of the global girl group Cat's Eye is no longer out of touch
16:04because the group is already a touchdown.
16:06Lara, Yunche, Daniella, Manon, Megan, and their Filipino leader, Sofia La Forteza,
16:12are the ones who made this happen.
16:15Sofia is happy that she's finally back in the Philippines after three years.
16:21She's excited to let her favorite Filipino food members try it.
16:26Sofia is the daughter of TV, movie, and stage performer Carla Guevara
16:31who is very proud of her daughter.
16:33Tomorrow, Cat's Eye will have a showcase.
16:36Each event will be followed by a guesting on It's Showtime.
