NewsTranscript
00:00That was the first interview with Alice Guo. We will discuss the hearing of the House Quad Committee.
00:05We have with us in Santa Ana or Santa Rosa, Laguna, Representative Tan Hernandez, co-chairman of the House Quad Committee. Good morning Congressman.
00:14Good morning Egan and to the listeners and televiewers.
00:20Thank you. Alice Guo said that she will tell the truth in an executive session. Will the Quadcom allow this?
00:30Actually, we already discussed this yesterday. We have a feeling during that time that she will mention her personality.
00:44She did not maintain national security, which is one of the requirements for the executive session.
00:54Since some members were insisting that there will be an executive session, basically, the Quadcom did not agree.
01:04What I did during that time, I asked Alice if she can write down who that person is. She said he's Chinese.
01:14We asked her to write down his name. True enough, he's Chinese and we consider him as one of the incorporators of their company.
01:24She mentioned that he helped her, which I think will not really help our investigation toward that matter.
01:32Aside from the connection with POGO, there's another similarity between Alice Guo, Cassandra Ong and Tony Yang.
01:38Their documents are questionable, like PSA, birth certificate. Is this also a part of the Quadcom, that we should be more careful so we won't get late registration?
01:51Yes. In the Committee on Public Accounts, we already discussed this last year.
01:56When we investigated the corporations owned by Chinese personalities, but they were patented by the Filipinos, and the PSA,
02:05we saw that they relaxed the requirement of obtaining a birth certificate. That's why Philippine passports can be obtained quickly.
02:13PSA promised to restrict the obtaining of birth certificates so that Chinese nationals cannot obtain passports.
02:22But unfortunately, there's a lot of damage that was done. Many companies and buildings were damaged.
02:33For example, Tony Yang was arrested in Cagayan de Oro City.
02:36You mentioned Tony Yang. What's the connection with POGO, Congressman?
02:40His Philippine San Gia Steel Corporation in Cagayan was raided last week or two weeks ago.
02:51We saw the remnants of POGO. It's not operating anymore. But of course, there are intel reports that it's still operating.
03:05That's the reason why we investigated and investigated why this San Gia Steel Corporation is hiding on that legitimate corporation and business.
03:20But under this, there are illegal activities being done. Not only POGO, there's smuggling.
03:28Most likely, that's where they are smuggling drugs.
03:33So these three have connections with each other, Cong?
03:36Yes. Tony Yang is the brother of Michael Yang. Tony Yang is the oldest of them. He was born in 1970.
03:46Michael Yang was born in 1972. Hojing Yang is the brother of Cebu City.
03:51That's their nephew who was born in 1974.
03:55So these are all connected and connected to Alisco because of Hojing Yang of Cebu City, who was also wanted by the Quadcom back then.
04:04Michael Yang recited him in contempt already, but fortunately, this brother is still here in the Philippines.
04:11It's all up to him. This is where you can see the amount of money they have in Mr. Tony Yang.
04:18So we can see Tony Yang in the Quadcom, Congressman?
04:22Yes. Yes definitely. Definitely he will be there.
04:25How is the search for the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque?
04:29He didn't arrive yesterday and there's no letter for his absence.
04:36Prior to yesterday, I don't want to call him a fugitive, but unfortunately, without any information or letter addressed to us,
04:49the police and the DPIBG will continue to search for him.
04:54Last question. Why are you so excited about Cassie?
04:58Someone sent me a picture of her asking where she studied.
05:04A chairman sent me a picture of Chairman Caraps.
05:09I just showed it to Chairman Ace Barber.
05:14That's what you're questioning.
05:17As you know, they're exploring it on TikTok, but there's nothing to say.
05:25It's okay. It's like we're having a light moment when we listen.
05:30As you know, it's too serious.
05:32Yesterday, we had a 13-hour hearing.
05:35Sometimes, it's torturing the mind, what we're doing.
05:39It's dangerous.
05:40So sometimes, I hope that the people will understand that sometimes, there's a light moment.
05:45Reduce it. Cong Akop is already complaining.
05:49He's only smiling at you.
05:51Cong Akop only jokes sometimes because he's a serious person.
05:57That's why I'm happy that we can hear such pronouns from the side of Chairman Akop.
06:03Did you make a decision to transfer her to the correctional?
06:08Yes. We made a decision.
06:10She was resided in contempt.
06:12After the first contempt that was issued to Cassandra Ong, who will lapse to 26,
06:18she will be transferred to...
06:20Women's Correctional.
06:22I hope, Igan, that she will have a change in her heart,
06:26that she will still cooperate and help in the squad for the country.
06:30That way, we can hear the truth.
06:33It's in your hands, Cong.
06:35Thank you very much, Congressman Dan Fernandez,
06:38co-chairman of the House Squad Committee. Take care, Cong.
06:41Okay. Thank you.
