00:00Senator Riza Ontiveros, who was the former mayor of Bamban, Alice Guo, is now out of the country.
00:05Despite his lawyers' insistence that he is still in the country,
00:10how did Alice Guo leave the country?
00:12How did she reach the authorities?
00:14This is what Professor Antonio Contreras will discuss from Punto de Vista.
00:24Thank you very much, Dayan.
00:27Good morning to all of you in the studio.
00:30You know, for an ordinary citizen, it's hard when you're in immigration.
00:37You'll regret all of your papers.
00:41It's really infuriating when we hear news like this,
00:46that an influential person, a rich person,
00:50that even though he has cases,
00:53and even though he has a lookout order, he is still able to leave the country.
00:56It's a good thing that President Marcos ordered him to investigate this.
01:03And he said in his statement that his head will roll here,
01:07that he should,
01:09because Alice Guo will not be able to leave the country
01:14if there is no influential person to help him,
01:19if there is no official to take care of him.
01:22Even though we are still in the question,
01:26that Alice Guo already has connections here,
01:29she already has a restaurant from the Senate,
01:32there are other cases,
01:34why did he just give a lookout order?
01:37Why didn't he hold a departure order?
01:39Why didn't he go to court to stop her from leaving?
01:43Because the lookout order, according to my research,
01:47is only to monitor a person,
01:50not to stop them from leaving.
01:53Even so,
01:55it turns out that the Bureau of Immigration did not detect Guo
01:59because maybe he did not go through an ordinary process.
02:03Maybe he used a private airstrip, a private airplane.
02:08There is a place where he could have gone,
02:12he could have crossed the airport without being detected by the Bureau of Immigration.
02:16But these things will never happen without anyone or someone helping her.
02:20There is someone who can help her.
02:23And that is what we should be aware of.
02:25Because even though Alice Guo is in the eyes of the law,
02:29the continuous spreading of corruption,
02:33of the conspiracy of violating ordinary laws
02:38that we pass on to ordinary citizens like us.
02:43How many times have we had a hard time going out to the airport,
02:47there are people being asked to return, there are people being offloaded.
02:51It will not be stopped if there are people
02:57who will be beaten,
03:00will be fined,
03:03or will just close their eyes.
03:07This is infuriating.
03:09As Senator Riza said,
03:11the real Filipinos have a hard time going out
03:15to the immigration office.
03:18This person who, according to the evidence,
03:21does not seem to be a real Filipino,
03:23even though there is no legal procedure,
03:26but the evidence is there.
03:28It is very easy to go out.
03:30But this is not the first time.
03:32A lot has happened, just like Alice Guo.
03:35This is not the first time that a person who has a case
03:39has escaped, hid, and left.
03:41At present, we are still looking for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
03:45Isn't that right?
03:47So there are a lot of people like this.
03:49And ordinary citizens always ask,
03:51how can we ordinary citizens
03:54when there are people like this who have money,
03:58who have influence,
04:00and the law is violating them?
04:02Investigate this.
04:04And it is true,
04:06what our President said is true.
04:08There should be heads in jail here
04:12because that is what he deserves.
04:15That is my point of view for today.
04:18Thank you very much.
04:20And back to you in the studio, Dian.
04:22Thank you very much, Professor Antonio Contreras.
