00:00In the midst of the ongoing search for suspended Mayor Alice Guo, the Supreme Court did not issue a temporary restraining order on Guo's petition in connection with his visit to the Senate hearings.
00:13The Senate Committee first commented on the matter.
00:16Luis Erizpe is the center of the news.
00:19After the Supreme Court issued a petition on behalf of suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo so that they will not be forced to attend the hearings in the Senate,
00:30the Supreme Court already responded to Guo, but instead of a temporary restraining order or write-off injunction, the Supreme Court issued the highest sentence.
00:40Respondents of the petition, the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality, commented.
00:48The court required the respondent Senate Committee to file its comment to the petition and prayer for TRO within a non-acceptable period of 10 days from notice.
00:58Aside from this, the SC submitted to the committee a resolution requiring Guo to personally attend the hearings in the Senate.
01:07The SC did not explain why they did not issue the TRO.
01:12But they said earlier that the request for comment is part of the court's process.
01:17This does not mean that the TRO will not issue the TRO or that Guo's request was not immediately granted.
01:24The court is just following its due process.
01:27But the SC is the one who requested the comment, the respondent of Guo's petition.
01:32The Commission on Elections said that Guo is the one who requested the comment.
01:38This is in violation of their investigation into Guo's possible violation of the election law when he ran as a candidate in 2022.
01:46What will be the decision of our law department, the investigating panel?
01:50You can expect that whoever is the respondent, we will let them answer first.
01:54At the time that the comment on the investigation is finished and Guo's camp receives the findings of the commission,
02:01Guo will be given five days to answer.
02:05But if he cannot answer, it is possible that the SC will decide if Guo will be charged with a criminal case or violation of the Omnibus Election Code.
02:14If they don't want to answer, there's nothing we can do because we gave them a chance to answer.
02:20The SC clarified that even though they are expediting their investigation, they are not prioritizing the investigation of other agencies.
02:28The important thing is that the issue is clear before the candidacy for the 2025 elections comes again.
02:35We are not prioritizing other agencies of the government, the DOJ, the Office of the Solicitor General, or the court.
02:43We just want this matter to be clear before filing the candidacy. At the same time, we also know if there is a misrepresentation.
02:53Komalek said that they expect that the results of their investigation will be released next week to Guo,
03:00including the fingerprint analysis of the commission.
