00:00Before the witness, the Court of Appeals has a freeze order for the areas of Suspended Bamban, Tarlac, Mayor Alice Wuo, and other personalities who are involved in POGO.

00:10The first to hear in the Senate is the possible connection to the POGO of the former economic advisor Michael Yang, who was also involved in overpriced COVID supplies from Pharmaly.

00:20Our witness.

00:22I am Tessa Wai-Mendoza, a lieutenant of the Philippine Navy.

00:28A soldier who was faced with the Senate's hearing on the illegal POGO, what did Lieutenant Tessa Wai-Mendoza have to do with it?

00:36It turns out that Mendoza was listed as an incorporator in almost 200 companies, but Mendoza herself said it was not true.

00:43My name, taxpayer identification number, and signature were used to incorporate no less than 193 corporations.

00:57Of the said number, more than half, or around 102, have foreign-sounding names.

01:04I was not aware of the existence of any of these corporations.

01:09She thought that her teen ID was compromised when her cousin borrowed it in 2016 for the rental of a travel agency, which did not open.

01:18My name was used initially in the year 2017 ma'am, so the year after your ID was borrowed.

01:26Yes, your honor.

01:28Until she started receiving letters of attorney for a year.

01:32Mendoza is crying. She's afraid of the effects of the upcoming identity theft.

01:37I'm of course concerned that the possible criminal record, that my situation will expose me to might hinder my pursuit to serve the nation and negatively affect my career progression.

01:51I'm really sorry.

01:54Mendoza is said to be supported by the Philippine Navy and her efforts to clear her name.

01:59Senator Riza Ontiveros accused Mendoza of being involved in the Yangtze River Group.

02:06He is owned by Michael Yang, the presidential economic advisor of the previous administration,

02:10who was accused of overpricing COVID supplies bought by the government in the form of COVID pandemic.

02:16Did you meet Lieutenant Jessa at any time with Michael Yang?

02:21No, your honor. I don't know him. We don't have any engagement or transactions with Michael Yang, your honor.

02:31Yang's connection to a Gerard Cruz, an incorporator of BrickHearts Technologies, who has a canceled POGO license in Cavite, was also raised.

02:39Some documents of BrickHearts were found in the POGO raid in Bambantarlac.

02:43Cruz's name was released in the Senate investigation on Farmally.

02:47He is the corporate secretary of Farmally Biological Company and the Philippine Fulwin Group of Companies where Yang is the president.

02:55Ontiveros said that Farmally Group was also involved in the POGO raid because the personalities are the same.

03:01Now that the connection of Gerard Cruz and Michael Yang was released, let's see where the evidence will lead us if this time around,

03:11the dotted lines will be connected to Duterte.

03:15According to Pagcor, their name is on the radar but...

03:19For now, we cannot say anything about that connection with higher officials.

03:26Ontiveros thinks that Yang is a possible mastermind.

03:29He played a big role in the Farmally scam.

03:34If Farmally Group is also involved in POGO, it's possible that he also played a big role in this.

03:43Yang denies that he was involved in POGO.

03:45If he has evidence against him, it should be released in the hearing.

03:49You have to make a very clear connection about the illegal acts that a particular person is a part of, not simply because he is in the corporation.

04:03In the case of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Goh, who did not show up and did not attend the Senate hearings,

04:09the Anti-Money Laundering Council, or AMLOC, announced that the mayors' properties were being freezed by the Court of Appeals,

04:15as well as Ziang Luang and Baoyang Lin, who are involved in human trafficking and fraudulent activities in POGO.

04:21In their clout are 70 bank accounts, real properties, and personal items such as luxury cars and helicopters.

04:28On July 8, the AMLOC petitioned the court to freeze the properties.
