00:00It is possible that Bamban Mayor Alice Goh will be arrested if she will not attend the Senate hearing tomorrow.

00:06But for now, Goh asked for a pardon because of her high standard in her life and her health condition.

00:13MAV, Gonzalez, is on the line.

00:19Whether she wants it or not, Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Goh needs to face the Senate hearing tomorrow

00:25according to Senate President Sheez Escudero.

00:27She was suspended by the Senate Committee on Women and Children and her relatives

00:32after she did not attend the last hearing on the Pogo Raid in Bamban, Tarlac.

00:37Escudero said that the following witness is obligated to be suspended, whether from Congress or the court.

00:44If they will not attend, it is in Senator Riza's hands if he will request to issue a warrant of arrest

00:51to force them to attend the Senate hearing.

00:55And I will sign that warrant of arrest.

00:58But for now, Goh already sent an excuse letter for not attending the Senate hearing tomorrow

01:04as she mentioned that she has a high standard in her life and her physical and mental health condition are getting worse.

01:10In addition, she asked the doctors but they refused to issue a medical certificate to her

01:16out of fear of embarrassment.

01:18She asked for a dispensary and she did not have any intention of going to the committee.

01:22Her lawyer assured her that Goh is in the Philippines.

01:25Escudero insisted that it is not a problem if Goh's private doctor does not want to issue a medical certificate

01:30because she can send a doctor to the Senate to check her health.

01:35Escudero also did not agree that Goh's camp should cause a search warrant

01:40where she will not attend the hearing because she can use what she will say against him.

01:46They have the right to file a petition for a search warrant

01:49but according to the Supreme Court,

01:54it is true that there is a right against self-incrimination of any witness

01:58who will appear in the Senate or Congress,

02:00but that right should be invoked when someone is asked

02:05to incriminate her and there should be no reason for her not to attend the hearing.

02:12The Senate Committee on Women and Children Chairperson Senator Risa Ontiveros added

02:17that Goh and her lawyers have an obligation to respect the law of the Philippines.

02:21The petition for a search warrant of those who are avoiding investigation is now in effect.

02:26If Goh wants her name to be cleared,

02:29she should show up for the hearing,

02:31respond properly,

02:32and stop lying.

02:34Along with the investigation,

02:36Pogo Hub was raided by PORAC Pampanga yesterday.

02:38According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

02:41Goh appears to be connected.

02:44Yes, we can see some documents connecting

02:48for suspended Mayor Alice Goh in the operation of PORAC Illegal Pogo Hub.

02:55Among the incorporations,

02:57sometimes it is her,
