00:00Heads will roll, or the government personnel that helped in the dismissal of Van Bantarlac
00:29and Mayor Alice Guo will be held accountable.
00:31That's what President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. said,
00:34following the news that the ex-mayor of the Philippines has been released.
00:38It is said that Guo first went to Singapore, and now he is in Indonesia.
00:43According to President Marcos, the dismissal of Guo's country
00:47was just an attempt to minimize the corruption of the justice system
00:50due to the lack of public trust in the system.
00:53The administration will be forced to expose those behind Guo's dismissal.
00:58The investigation has been resumed,
01:00and those responsible will surely be suspended and will be held accountable.
01:05In addition, President Marcos,
01:07no one in the government is putting their personal interests
01:11above serving the people with dignity, integrity, and justice.
01:16Before this, the Office of the President ordered the Department of Justice
01:21and the Department of Foreign Affairs to cancel the Philippine passports of Guo
01:25and his family and a woman who is a member of the Philippine Online Gaming Operator or POGO.
01:31Based on a memorandum dated August 20,
01:34signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin
01:37for Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo,
01:42the Office of the President ordered the cancellation of Guo's passport
01:47along with the children of Wesley Leal-Guo, Sheila Leal-Guo,
01:52and POGO representative Catherine Cassandra Leong.
01:55Executive Secretary Bersamin referred to Republic Act No. 11983
02:00or the Philippine Passport Act
02:02in which the Philippine Passport is subject to cancellation
02:06if the holder or owner is a fugitive or hiding from justice.
02:11Bersamin mentioned the arrest warrants against Guo and his family.
02:15This was followed by a protest in the middle of repeated invitations to hearings
02:20related to the illegal activity of POGO in the country.
02:23In addition, the Executive Secretary also filed criminal complaints against Guo for trafficking.
02:28Other cases were also filed against the former mayor
02:32for his involvement in POGO operations.
02:35Ong, who helped Guo in Singapore,
02:38was the first to be sighted in contempt of the camera
