Transcript
00:00 We will discuss the complaint filed by DILG against Mayor Alice Guo regarding the raid of Pogo Hub in Bambantarlac.
00:07 We will talk to DILG Undersecretary for External Legal and Legislative Affairs Juan Victor Llamas. Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.
00:16 Good morning to you, to all of you listeners.
00:20 What will be the implication of the complaint filed by DILG regarding the Bambantarlac's violation of the Mayor's request?
00:27 Regarding our complaint, we have a recommendation, we have a prior, that there will be a preventive suspension against Mayor Alice Guo pending further investigation by Ombudsman.
00:45 What I mean by preventive suspension is that she will be temporarily removed from her post while there is an investigation.
00:52 That will be the implication while there is an investigation. And then, whatever the result of this case, we will know what the possible penalty against her is.
01:06 What is the basis of this complaint, and is it related to the hearing in the Senate?
01:11 Our final is based on our independent fact-finding investigation that was conducted.
01:19 If you remember, last April, task force was established by Secretary Benjor Abalos to look into this.
01:28 So our information and our basis in this case is based on our fact-finding investigation.
01:37 Although the Senate has the power to conduct their own investigation, the information that we obtained from the Senate is still valid.
01:49 Is there a difference or addition that you saw in your investigation that did not come out in the Senate?
01:56 For now, it's just the draft charges. And whatever the results for further investigation, we will still file it if we see that we should continue the investigation.
02:11 So this draft case is just one. It's possible that you will file a case against her.
02:18 Yes, it's possible because the investigation is still ongoing. We are still obtaining information.
02:25 Aside from Mayor Alice Guo, is there another official from Bamban, Tarlac that you will investigate?
02:30 Of course, she's not the only one who made the decision regarding the Pogo Hub.
02:34 Actually, regarding the case we filed against Ombudsman, there are other officials from the local government units of Bamban, Tarlac.
02:45 Aside from Bamban, are there other municipalities that are facing the same issue or problem?
02:54 For now, Raffy, there's none. But I think if we will talk to the Secretary and what direction he will give us regarding this.
03:05 We will wait for that. Thank you very much DILG Undersecretary Juan Victor Llamas.
03:11 Thank you very much Raffy.
