00:00Suspended Mayor Alice Guo is still no-show in the Senate despite the arrest order against her.
00:08The mayor also released a statement on her Facebook account.
00:12Here is the center of the news from Daniel Mandalas-Tas.
00:18Suspended Mayor Alice Guo is still no-show for a week after the Senate issued an arrest order against her.
00:26Instead of a Facebook post, the mayor released her statements.
00:31Guo said she was not able to attend the two hearings of the Senate because of the fatigue and trauma she experienced and her priority for now is peace of mind.
00:42If there is evidence against her, she is ready to face the fair hearing in the right forum.
00:49She doesn't want to be used by anyone for their ambitions in politics.
00:54The country has a lot of problems and she is calling for the country's problems to be addressed rather than to be avoided.
01:01The mayor was also surprised that she was able to escape the life sentence received by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
01:08There is no basis for the accusations against her and she does not have a Chinese passport.
01:13Senator Arisa Honteveros did not like Guo's statements.
01:18Mayor Alice Guo or Guo Huaping, you have more posts on Facebook than attending the Senate hearings.
01:26Attendance before the Senate hearings is adherence to the rule of law.
01:31The senator also asked how the mayor can have peace of mind if she always avoids questions.
01:38If you forget, you are being called because you are in the middle of abusing our laws.
01:47You were allowed to escape because of your influence as mayor.
01:52Yesterday, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian came up with a theory.
01:56My theory, this is just my personal theory, that Guo Huaping has a Chinese passport.
02:02And in an event like this, if she is arrested, she can go to China using her Chinese passport.
02:11So far, nothing. I believe, when I was a mayor, someone told me that if someone is going to kill you,
02:17they will not say it to you, they will just let it happen.
02:21So I did not expect that someone would say it.
02:26Meanwhile, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri was also called to ban the Pogos in the country,
02:32giving it a one to two-year transition and a total ban.
02:37For Senator Jowel Villanueva, it is not just the Pogos, but all kinds of online gambling should be banned.
