00:00Some senators wanted to return the direction of the Senate's investigation on the POGO operations in the country.
00:07But some decided to look for the connection of Mayor Alice Guo in the POGO operation.
00:14Daniel Manalastas is back.
00:19Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel mentioned what happened in the hearing of the Senate on the illegal POGO in the country.
00:26It should be noted that during the last hearing, Mayor Alice Guo almost gave up her candidacy.
00:33Her citizenship is a particular connection to the hearing.
00:37But why did the hearing become about her? The hearing should be about POGO.
00:43Yes, let's go back to POGO, fellow countrymen, and let's all unite to get POGO out of the Philippines.
00:55Pimentel said that the court should talk about Guo in order to have a chance to present their evidence.
01:04Here in the Senate investigation, the audience went there, the ITR went there.
01:08The ITR should not be discussed with the public.
01:15According to Senator Risa Contiveros, while the session is adjourned, they will hold an executive session and she thinks more information will be released here.
01:24It is possible to determine the real connection between Mayor and POGO.
01:29According to civic leader Teresita Angsi, she is not involved in the investigation of Mayor Guo.
01:35But why does it seem like the POGO issue is no longer on the scene?
01:39She even called it a witch hunt and a personal attack.
01:42Contiveros said that this is not a witch hunt or politics.
01:47National security and accountability in public service are at stake here.
01:52According to Solicitor General Minardo Guevara, the OSG can monitor if an official has been defrauded.
02:00If there is one, the OSG can sue the official.
02:06But other agencies can look into the possibility of defrauding the law, such as corruption.
