Senate Pres. Escudero, tiniyak ang seguridad ni suspended Mayor Alice Guo at iba pa kasunod ng inilabas na arrest order laban sa kanila

Transcript

00:00After the Senate issued an arrest order against suspended Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, Senate President Francis Escudero said,

00:10The Senate is guaranteeing who will be arrested to be detained in the Senate, including Ninoman.

00:16We have identified General Angkan as the one who will be detained, not only him, I repeat, the Senate also issued a warrant of arrest to others.

00:25For Senate President Pro Tempore Gingoy Estrada, all government agencies that have police powers should help to find Guo.

00:33But it will be easier if he will just surrender.

00:36Sen. Risa Hontiveros issued a warrant following the long post of the Mayor on Facebook that he was belittled as a Filipino.

00:43If you have Facebook, maybe you can face the Senate.

00:49You even used Facebook to spread fake news that you are Filipino.

00:56You are not Filipino.

00:59The evidence will be strong enough.

01:02According to Guo's camp, they were not surprised by the arrest order issued.

01:06Guo's lawyer said that Stephen David's client is still in the Philippines.

01:11But he also refused to go to the Senate hearing.

01:15He's 50-50.

01:17First, my advice to him is to appear and honor the legal process.

01:22We cannot hide forever.

01:25It's a waste of our lives to hide and become a fugitive.

01:30Until when? Until when will you be a fugitive? It's a waste.

01:34Meanwhile, if you will appear, it's not like he will be punished because he has a presumption of innocence.

01:41Meanwhile, earlier, there was a new revelation that Hontiveros was released.

01:45Not from Michael Yang's younger brother.

01:48Yang is a former adviser of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

01:53Alice Guo's company, Baofu, has a direct transaction in the joint account of two people.

02:01One is Yu Zhengkan, an incorporator of Hongsheng, the Pogo that was raided in Bantarlac.

02:10His partner in the account is a man named Hong Jiang Yang.

02:17Who is Hong Jiang Yang, you may ask?

02:20He is the brother of Michael Yang.

02:24Yes, the same Michael Yang who was Duterte's former economic presidential adviser.

02:31I told you, it looks like this Pogo and its family members are one big happy family.

02:39Maybe this family is the farm that Alice Guo raised.

02:45According to Michael Yang's lawyer, he doesn't know if he has a brother.

02:49For now, there is no information on the whereabouts of Guo.

02:53According to Duterte's former spokesperson,

02:56Hontevero is desperate to apologize to the former president for the anomaly in Farmally and become a Pogo.

03:03There is no legal basis to blame the former president for corruption.
