00:00We will all be with you.
00:07Saksi!
00:13Dismissed by Mayor Alice Guo,
00:16this time in the Quad Committee of the Camera,
00:19because of her non-answering to the questions of the congressmen.
00:23Guo is also asking for an executive session
00:26where she is ready to speak the truth.
00:29Saksi, by Chino Gaston.
00:35Are you Chinese? You don't eat Hopia?
00:37I am Filipino.
00:39Why do Filipinos eat Hopia?
00:42I don't eat Hopia yet. Thank you.
00:45This is the answer of Alice Guo when she was asked by the Hopia
00:49in the middle of the Quad Committee of the Camera about the Pogos.
00:53Again, the questions were asked if Guo is really Filipino.
00:56Also, her escape from the country.
00:58She was shown the class pictures from the report of GMA Integrated News
01:03last July about those who said their former mayor became their classmate.
01:09Can you please enlighten us, who is in this picture?
01:13For that question, I think I cannot answer.
01:17I invoke my right against self-incrimination
01:20since I have a pending case about citizenship.
01:23But would you agree with me if I would say,
01:26you look like the one in the picture.
01:28Ma'am, I will not confirm.
01:30Also in this picture,
01:32it was taken from a Chinese newspaper when she won the mayor of Bamban.
01:37At first, Guo said that her father is being greeted by the Chinese community
01:41because her father is a Chinese.
01:44But it was different when a congressman asked other Chinese people.
01:50And according to them, the exact translation of these characters goes like this.
01:56Congratulations to the first Chinese mayor, Alice Leal Guo of Bamban.
02:05Ma'am, there is no such thing.
02:08It's a coincidence that Guo said that.
02:10Your Honor, I am not too sure about those things.
02:13I think it's better if we get a translator for that.
02:19My understanding is that she is congratulating me, my father.
02:37You answered earlier that you went to Malaysia.
02:40My question is, why did you invoke the right against self-incrimination?
02:46My question is, why did you invoke the right against self-incrimination?
02:49I understand my rights better now, Your Honor.
02:52What?
02:53I understand my rights better now, Your Honor.
02:56After numerous hearings in the Senate,
02:59you only understood your rights now?
03:02While you have been invoking it a thousand times?
03:05Don't make a fool of us, ma'am.
03:08Because of the repeated lack of answers to the questions of the camera,
03:12Guo was given a chance.
03:14We will cite you in contempt.
03:16You are now detained in Camp Cramé.
03:18In fact, I will ask the PNP and the court
03:24why you were granted to be detained in the Philippine Cusodyal Center.
03:32This will be your last warning.
03:34According to the former PNP chief,
03:36according to the PAN Corp official Raul Villanueva,
03:39the PNP's current chief, Police General Rommel Marville,
03:46asked the PAN Corp to investigate who they are targeting.
03:50We are investigating 24 of our former chief men,
03:53if they are involved.
03:54We are not happy with what he said.
03:56Since he is under oath, he has to tell us
03:59because it affects the whole organization.
04:01Who is the PNP official that you remember
04:05who courtesy called you as mayor?
04:08I remember visiting the office of PD.
04:15Provincial Director.
04:17Who is the Provincial Director that you are referring to?
04:22The current PD. I forgot the name.
04:27Mr. Chair, I'm willing to tell the truth.
04:30Just believe me and don't think that I'm lying.
04:34I will tell you all the truth in my executive session.
04:37Where is the truth?
04:41On how I was fired.
04:45The former senator and former PNP chief, Ping Laxon,
04:48has doubts.
04:49Villanueva only said that the Pogos have a protector
04:52in the former chief of police.
04:54Even so, he said, the information still needs to be verified.
04:58We are still trying to get the statement of the former PNP chief.
05:03For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chino Gaston.
05:06Your witness.
05:09Aside from Alice Guo, Lucky South 99's Cassandra Ong is also cited in contempt.
05:15She was ordered to be detained in the Women's Correctional in Mandaluyong.
05:19After September 26, Ong was expected to be transferred to the Correctional.
05:24According to the Anti-Money Laundering Council,
05:27the total value of Guo's assets, which could be confiscated by the state,
05:32is up to Php 478 million.
05:34These include vehicles, helicopters, and Php 1,000,000 in bank accounts.
05:42Before the witness, arrested in Pahumbong, Bulacan,
05:45the two men who were involved in the sale of dog meat
05:49in the buy-bust of PNP CIDG and Animal Kingdom Foundation,
05:53the two suspects were caught in the act of selling dogs.
05:57The four-lived dogs were confiscated from them.
06:01The two men who were arrested are facing charges of violating the Animal Welfare Act and Anti-Rabies Act.
06:07According to one of the suspects, he has nothing to do with the dog meat trade.
06:14The two arrested suspects were transferred to Batangas Provincial Jail
06:18after the disappearance of beauty pageant contestant Catherine Camilon.
06:22After a year since the victim's disappearance and the arrest of the suspects,
06:26her family survived.
06:29Witness, Jun Veneracion.
06:35In October of last year, it was discovered that the beauty pageant contestant Catherine Camilon was missing.
06:41And until now, she has not been found.
06:44But just this Saturday, she was caught in Batangas Provincial Jail
06:47by the main suspects in her disappearance.
06:49Dismissed Police Major Allan DiCastro was arrested,
06:52who was last with Camilon, and is said to be his boyfriend.
06:56Something that DiCastro denied.
06:58DiCastro's driver, Jeffrey Magpantay, was also arrested.
07:02He denied that he had anything to do with the disappearance of the pageant contestant.
07:06Based on our perception, they were cooperatives.
07:12They were first taken to Balayan Municipal Police Station before being transferred to Batangas Provincial Jail.
07:18They are facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention without bail.
07:24Because of the arrest of the two suspects, Catherine's mother survived.
07:28I have nothing else to ask but to tell the truth.
07:33Where is my daughter? What did they do? Where did they take her?
07:37That's all, ma'am.
07:38From the beginning, I did not ask for anything else but to know where my daughter is.
07:44Many cases of Catherine's disappearance were passed.
07:47She was first dismissed by the Regional Prosecutor's Office because of lack of evidence.
07:52But the motion for reconsideration was revived.
07:56The police is still looking for Catherine.
07:59But they admitted that they are still blank on where the pageant contestant is.
08:04Of course, as time goes by, our chances become slim.
08:11But still, we're still hoping to see Ms. Catherine.
08:19But of course, we're also expecting worse.
08:22To be honest, ma'am, the pain is there.
08:26There's a lot to think about.
08:29There's hope.
08:31It's hard to feel that they're there but our daughter is not there.
08:36Whatever will be the cause, ma'am, there's hope that one day, she might return to us.
08:45For GMA Integrated News, Jun Veneracion, your witness.
09:15The truth will prevail and not the political or personal interests of some.
09:41Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog could not hold back his emotions
09:45when he faced the Quad Committee of the Camera
09:48that was busy with illegal drugs and extrajudicial killings.
09:52Here, he told the scary and difficult experience
09:55that he went through for seven years after he was included in the former President Duterte's narco-list.
10:02Mabilog even showed videos about the ridiculous behavior of the former President.
10:09On August 28, 2017, Mabilog received a call from PNP Regional Director Bernardo Diaz
10:16who was invited to meet the then PNP Chief Ronald Bato de la Rosa
10:21at Camp Krame the next afternoon.
10:23But he received a call from someone he did not name as a police colonel.
10:28A PNP colonel called me and, in a voice that sent shivers down my spine,
10:36literal po yun, warned me not to go to Camp Krame because my life was in danger.
10:44The fear that had been simmering now erupted.
10:49Soon after, at 6.32 p.m., my wife, Marivic, received a chilling text from a PNP colonel's wife.
10:59Do not proceed. There are 20 men surrounding your house.
11:04And if you go to Camp Krame, they will kill you.
11:10The terror was paralyzing. I couldn't believe it.
11:16My life and my family's life was hanging by a thread.
11:22In fear, he decided to go to Japan the next day.
11:27However, he received a message from General Diaz to call a number.
11:33I made the call and spoke to General Diaz.
11:36I made the call and spoke to General Bato, who expressed his sympathy.
11:42He was talking to me in Bisaya.
11:45He told me he knew I was innocent, that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs, and he promised to help me.
11:54I told him I would finish my work abroad and return to meet him.
12:00But he urged me to be careful, repeating his pledge to help.
12:05But the next day, another person called and gave me a warning.
12:09Just after that call, my Philippine cell phone rang.
12:15This time, it was another general.
12:18His voice was grim.
12:21Mayor, do not return. Your life is in danger.
12:27The accusations against you are all fabricated.
12:31But if you go to Crame, you'll be forced to point fingers to an opposition senator and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
12:43The judges asked him who he was going to point fingers to.
12:48You were told that you will pinpoint a certain former senator and a certain presidential candidate.
13:01Is it former Senator Marawas?
13:04Yes, sir.
13:06Is it former Senator Drilon, which is your cousin?
13:14Yes, sir.
13:15So from Japan, Mabilog went straight to America and applied for political asylum, where he self-exiled with his family.
13:24Mabilog refused to give his name to the police officials who were kind to him, so he was forced to write his name down as a judge.
13:33Mabilog believes that politics is the root of his membership in the Duterte narco list.
13:38In our interview with former Mayor Jed Mabilog, he said that he has no plans to return to politics in 2025.
13:46And if he is the only one who will make a decision, he also refused to file a complaint against former President Rodrigo Duterte because he wants to move on.
13:54According to Senator De La Rosa, before Mabilog left, he received a call from the Mayor that he is afraid for his safety.
14:05De La Rosa went to Krami and said that he is afraid for his safety.
14:10But then, Mabilog called and said that he will not go because someone reported him.
14:16De La Rosa said that it is very incredible that he will go to Krami to kill Mabilog.
14:21GMA Integrated News is still looking for the accomplices of Duterte and Diaz, as well as Drilon and Rojas.
14:29For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
