Transcript

00:00The Senate has already issued an arrest order against Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and others

00:06following their failure to respond to the pandemic last week.

00:10This is the surprise of Denise Osorio.

00:15I'm Filipino.

00:16That's what Suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo said in a post on her official Facebook page.

00:23She also stated that despite the controversy, she did not regret her decision to run for office.

00:30This post came out after she did not respond to the Senate hearing on July 10

00:36in the middle of an investigation into the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or POGO.

00:41Senators are angry at the mayor's indignation.

00:44That's why the Senate has already issued an arrest order against Guo and seven others.

00:50According to the warrant issued by Senator Risa Ontiveros,

00:54it was ordered because of their failure to respond to the hearings of the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality.

01:01In addition, the repeated failure of the mayor and his family is a hindrance to the investigation

01:08related to human trafficking, serious illegal detention, torture violations, and physical abuse in the gaming hub.

01:15The other accused are Guo's family, Sheila Guo, Wesley Real Guo, Jianjiong Guo, Simon Guo, and his wife, Won Yee Lin,

01:25along with Dennis Cunanan and Nancy Gamo.

01:28Yesterday, the Court of Appeals also ordered the Anti-Money Laundering Council to freeze the bank accounts,

01:33other assets of Guo, and other individuals.

01:36Based on the AMLC document distributed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian's office,

01:42Guo has 36 bank accounts, including one helicopter and many cars.

01:47Among the 70 bank accounts distributed by 14 financial institutions, the Court of Appeals approved the freeze.

01:54In the span of three years, billions of pesos were transferred to Guo's accounts.

02:02But if you look at their corporations, that's why we're bringing them back during the hearing of corporations,

02:09if we look at their corporations, both the income statements and the statement of cash flow, there are no billions,

02:15only hundreds of thousands. That's why we're wondering how the Bambang Pogo Hub, which is worth P6 billion,

02:25but it doesn't appear in any of their financial statements.

02:29The probability of money laundering is high. That's why the assets were immediately freezed.

02:35If you don't freeze the money, it will be easy to transfer. It can be lost and it will not be caught.
