00:00A former POGO worker was arrested in a buy-bust operation in Pasay, two days ago.
00:06Many former POGO workers are also seen buying drugs from them.
00:12This is the breaking news of Niko Wahe.
00:18In the parking lot of a mall in Pasay City,
00:21the two foreign nationals were cornered by the authorities.
00:24They were the first ones to sell the so-called shabu.
00:27They were arrested for violation of RA 915.
00:30A Malaysian and a Chinese.
00:32According to the Southern Police District,
00:34the Malaysian national was the target of the first operation,
00:37who was just introduced by Alya Singh.
00:39Based on our confidential informant,
00:42she is the one who is really the one who is causing a lot of trouble to her fellow Chinese,
00:47and also to the Nigerian nationals
00:51who are staying here in the condo units in Pasay and Paranaque.
00:58According to their informant,
01:00the group of Alya Singh was included by the authorities.
01:02That's why the buy-bust operation was successful.
01:05Alya Singh's group is the Chinese national known as Alya Chen,
01:09who was also arrested in the operation.
01:11Our upline is that the Malaysian national is a Chinese national.
01:17So they can be together.
01:21That's why they were both caught.
01:23They were both caught by their upline, the Chinese national.
01:28That's why they were both arrested by our operatives.
01:33100 grams of street value worth Php 680,000
01:37were confiscated from two foreign nationals.
01:39According to the SPD, the former POGO worker, Alya Singh...
01:43Since it was announced that the POGO workers here will be banned,
01:51they changed their line of work.
01:56They entered the illegal drug sales.
02:01Most of the POGO workers in her prison are former POGO workers.
02:05The SPD is now asking the Bureau of Immigration
02:08if there are any documents of those arrested to be kept in the Philippines.
02:12The Pasay Police are now holding two of them.
02:14We are still trying to get their statement.
02:16Nico Aje, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:22Five minority women who were allegedly kidnapped
02:25by foreigners are now in the GIFS Angeles, Pampanga.

02:34The suspect has been operating in Pampanga for two years.
02:37He is using social media
02:39to get in touch with parochial workers.
02:42We are still trying to get the statement of the suspect
02:45who was taken to the detention facility.
02:47Five victims were turned over by the DSWD.

03:12the high tide and low tide from the mountainous area
03:15came at the same time.

03:24No one was hurt.
03:26But the LGU is reminding us to be careful
03:28to avoid disaster.

05:58According to the Public Order and Safety Office,
06:02it's not allowed to collide.
06:04That's why they will consult with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development.
06:09We are talking to them
06:11to not let them collide there
06:14because it's hard for them to be in an accident.
06:22In Aritau, Nueva Vizcaya,

07:28In Curimau, Ilocos Norte,
07:30a fisherman was found lying on his boat
07:34but he was just sleeping.
07:36His fellow fishermen saw him lying on his boat
07:40five nautical miles away from Dalampasigan, Curimau.
07:44They were worried that something bad might happen to him
07:47so they called an ambulance.
07:49The weather was still bad
07:51but when they got closer,
07:52they discovered that the fisherman was just resting
07:55and he was already dead.
08:00How did Desmiss Mayor Alice Guo escape from the Philippines?
08:04Based on the information obtained by PAGCOR,
08:06there was help from her former chief of the Philippine National Police.
08:10Let's hear from Sandra Aguinaldo.
08:16Who helped Alice Guo to escape from the Philippines?
08:19Senator Reza Ontiveros asked,
08:22Is it possible that an official or a government employee was involved?
08:26When a PAGCOR official was questioned,
08:37PAGCOR did not mention the name of the former chief of the Philippine National Police.
08:42But based on the information they obtained,
08:45there is talk in the intelligence community
08:48that this was a plan by Guo.
08:51Is it also included in the talk
08:53that this alleged former chief of the Philippine National Police
08:56was helped by any of our current government officials
09:02in the escape of Guo Huaping?
09:17Even worse,
09:18historically, there is a monthly payroll.
09:21PAGCOR quickly clarified that this is not yet verified.
09:25The PNP official said that this is just hearsay.
09:28They have not obtained an intelligence report,
09:31but they will continue their investigation
09:33if there are police involved.
09:35Can we know who this former chief of the Philippine National Police is?
09:38I'm concerned because I am a former chief of the Philippine National Police.
09:41Maybe there will be a script
09:44that Bato is receiving money from you.
09:47Nothing like that is happening.
09:51Are you sure?
09:52I'm sure.
10:04In the amount of Php 200 million,
10:07we obtained intelligence information with regard to the amount,
10:12but with regard to the amount that I received
10:17from a B.I. personnel or associated with the B.I.,
10:26there is nothing yet, but we're still validating.
10:28We're part of the investigation, Madam Chair.
10:31In July, Alice Guo left the Philippines,
10:33but her counter affidavit was notarized in August.
10:37How did that happen?
10:39Now, she is no longer in the country.
10:41According to Guo's secretary, Kat Salazar,
10:43the former chief of the Philippine National Police called her
10:46to find a notary
10:47and to have her house documents acquired in Banbantarlak.
10:51Who took your documents?
10:53It's in the drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
10:56She said that I attached it to the last page of her affidavit.
11:01Did you know that Guo Huabing is no longer in the Philippines?
11:06No, Your Honor.
11:07And you, Ms. G, did you know that Mayor Alice is no longer in the Philippines?
11:12No, Your Honor.
11:13I'm also not in a position to ask where she is.
11:17But did you know that she was preparing to leave before that day?
11:22No, Your Honor.
11:23Kat Dante's counter affidavit states that the person who contacted the notary
11:28personally brought the documents of a secretary of Guo.
11:32When she returned it because there was no signature,
11:34the secretary went to the van.
11:36One of Guo's co-workers went down the window and got hurt.
11:40When the secretary returned from the van,
11:42there was a signature on the document.
11:44Did you sign the affidavit?
11:46Because we know that Guo Huabing is no longer in the Philippines.
11:50No, Your Honor.
11:51Guo said that she signed the signature page of the affidavit on the first week of July.
11:57I signed the last page of the document.
12:00Where did you sign it?
12:01I signed it before I left.
12:03Who prepared this page for you to sign?
12:07Sen, there was a case that was filed against me that invoked my right.
12:11Yet, Guo's lawyers did not know that she was no longer in the Philippines
12:15when they filed the counter affidavit.
12:17They also did not personally see her because Guo had a death threat.
12:22The notary, Atty. Elmer Galicia, continued.
12:26Atty. Galicia lied
12:28because he did not sign it in front of Atty. Galicia.
12:32Definitely, he lied.
12:34He should also be charged by the DOJ.
12:36I am a victim.
12:38I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
12:42In the hearing, Kat Salazar admitted that she called
12:46Executive Secretary of Suwal Pangasinan Mayor Liceldo Dong Calugay
12:50to ask for help in making the document notarized.
12:54Why did she call Ms. Cheryl, the Executive Assistant of Mayor Calugay?
13:08That was her instruction, ma'am.
13:10That's why Senator Riza believes that it was close between Alice Guo and Calugay
13:15that they both denied having a relationship.
13:18As for the witnesses in the hearing,
13:20it was a business deal.
13:22In the names of the two, they called each other.
13:24Most of you here have the names of Guo Huaping and Alice Guo together, right?
13:31Lixel, Alice, L-I-C, and Liceldo.
13:35Dong Guo, Dong, and Guo.
13:38You even named Dong.
13:40They also showed pictures of them together.
13:43According to Guo Huaping,
13:45you are just friends.
13:48Is that how you will characterize your relationship?
13:52Yes, Madam Chair, we are just friends.
13:54Just friends?
13:56Yes, Your Honor.
13:57Not just friends?
13:58Just friends, Your Honor.
14:00I don't care if you have a romantic relationship.
14:05We are interested in the possibility of your criminal relationship.
14:10According to Calugay, Guo met them in 2016
14:14when he was looking for a pork supplier.
14:17But they don't have a business or bank account together.
14:20That's why the Senate cut the receipts of construction materials
14:24for the pig farm of the Guo family, named Calugay.
14:28I didn't pay, Madam Chair.
14:30The story is, Mayor Alice called
14:34where can we buy cheap construction supplies
14:38because our family business is construction supply.
14:43I clarified this receipt, Your Honor.
14:46Please, Mayor, they already know him.
14:49Because in October, they bought a lot from him.
14:56Php 292,000.
14:59It's not true that by December,
15:02they already forgot Guo Huaping
15:04that's why they need to give the receipt in your name.
15:07Madam Chair, we don't have a single business partner.
15:11You are under oath?
15:13If you keep on lying before this committee,
15:18I might force to cite you in contempt.
15:22Your girlfriend already lied to you.
15:25You still lied.
15:26I surmise that these businesses are only front
15:30for possible money laundering.
15:34Calugay did not hear that he has a connection
15:36with Duan Renwu and Cassandra Leong,
15:39two individuals who were arrested in Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
