00:00Mayor Alice Guo's name is on the bill of Kuryente ng Pogo Hub in Bamban.
00:06It is based on documents obtained by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission.
00:11This and other documents that were seen in the arrest of Jonathan Andal, are exclusive.
00:20Bamban Mayor Alice Guo said that before he ran as mayor in May 2022,
00:26he had already divested or sold his shares in Bawfulan, the company that owns the land of Sinalakay na Pogo in Tarlac.
00:34However, it was discovered that some documents were found inside the possession of ZUN U1 Technology.
00:39The operator of Sinalakay na Pogo in Bamban, Tarlac in April,
00:43was seen by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission.
00:47These bills in Kuryente, from July to November 2023, are named after Mayor Alice Guo.
00:54There is also a statement of account in February that is still named after Mayor Guo.
00:58There was also a proposal for a salary for housekeeping staff from a manpower agency,
01:03which has a date of June 20, 2022, which is addressed to Guo and Bawfulan and Development Inc.
01:10So, this is based on what he said, that he already divested, even before he won as mayor of Bamban.
01:18Once you pay, of course, you are involved in the finances, in the management of the company's money.
01:26Yes, of course, this is a big evidence in one of our cases.
01:32We tried to confirm the electric bills in Tarelco 2 and the quotation of salary to Arizon Trading and Manpower Services,
01:39but they did not give an answer.
01:41We also tried to get a statement from the lawyers of Mayor Guo,
01:44but they did not see the mentioned documents.
01:47Aside from Guo, Paok also saw the name of Dennis Cunanan, who was first convicted under the Pork Barrel Scam,
01:53as the authorized representative of the same Pogo man in Bamban, Tarlac and the illegal Pogo man in Porak, Pampanga.
02:00That's what we're finding out.
02:03It seems like there's only one owner of these two Pogo hubs.
02:07And also, we're looking at, maybe he still has other illegal Pogo hubs that he represents.
02:14So, this is part of the investigation that we're doing.
02:17The DILG released a memorandum today reminding LGUs that they have the power to inspect their businesses in their area.
02:25That was after the Mayor of Porak said that they tried to inspect the illegal Pogo man, Lucky South 99,
02:32but he did not let them in, so they just left.
02:36If we assume that they did not let you in, can you report that to the police for them to check on it to build up the case?
02:44So, I'm reminding all LGUs about these powers, that if possible, even to the barangay level,
02:53if you need to, you can do it one by one.
02:57And I also wrote to the Chief PNP to assist the LGUs here.
03:03According to the DILG, based on the data of PAG-COR, there are only 43 licensed Pogo hubs in the country.
03:09All of them are located in Metro Manila, except for one in Kawit Cavite.
03:13For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for Tutok, 24 hours.
