00:00Welcome back to my country, Cassandra Ong and Sheila Guo from Indonesia.

00:07We will continue to look for Alice Guo.

00:09We have with us the Bureau of Immigration Spokesperson, Dana Sandoval.

00:12Good morning to all of you, ma'am. This is Maryse, and we are live on Unang Balita.

00:16Good morning. Good morning, Maryse.

00:18Let's start with the information about the former mayor.

00:22Where is Alice Guo now? Is she still in Indonesia? Do we have any proof?

00:27Our counterparts have confirmed that she is still in Indonesia.

00:33There have been no attempts to transfer Alice Guo to another country.

00:40All right.

00:41Based on the documents, Guo arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia.

00:46Do you have any information?

00:47Maybe she went to other countries from the Philippines before arriving in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore?

00:54Actually, it has not been confirmed if she went to Denpasar before arriving in Malaysia.

01:00Based on what we have seen in the passports,

01:02Sheila, who arrived here, passed through Sabah, Malaysia before going to Kuala Lumpur, the Guo family.

01:15From there, they went to Singapore, and then on August 18, they transferred to Indonesia via Batam Island.

01:25They ferried her to Indonesia.

01:28Ma'am, can we see Guo returning to her country any day from now?

01:34Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is saying that anytime soon, she will be able to return.

01:40But when she was here in the Philippines, it was hard for the authorities to control her.

01:44Especially now that she is in another country.

01:47We're very hopeful about that.

01:49We are thankful to Indonesian Immigration for their prompt response in the letter of our commissioner to them,

01:58informing these people.

02:02They immediately pre-marked the whereabouts of Mayor Alice Guo and her family.

02:10That's why we were able to successfully bring back Cassandra Leong and Sheila Leal-Guo.

02:15We're hoping that in the next few days, there will be more developments on the case of those who were left there.

02:21Many are asking, ma'am, why was the Immigration-Synagogo involved?

02:25Is that how the BIA will investigate?

02:27Based on the information we have gathered from the documents they are showing,

02:34they did not pass through the formal airport or seaport of this group.

02:40The indication that we are seeing is that they passed through Sabah, Malaysia, possibly through illegal means.

02:47That's why they did not pass through the process of immigration.

02:50But the backtracking of their flights or their trips, if this is a bank,

02:56we are still doing that to find out exactly what route they passed through so that we can find out who are liable for their illegal departure.

03:08What Paok is saying is that it is possible for them to use a chartered plane from another country,

03:13and they are the backload passengers.

03:15Is it true that when you are a backload passenger, you don't need to manifest

03:18and you don't need to go back to the country where you came from?

03:26All airplanes require a manifest.

03:30All people who boarded that plane, even the crew, the pilots, are placed in a manifest.

03:37So if they left the country and they did not depart legally,

03:44and they left the country, then that's considered illegal and falsification of the documents.

03:49How soon are we expecting the results of the investigation, ma'am?

03:52Immediately, we are expecting the results to be released next week.

03:59But we need more information about this.

04:01And there, we will know the tracking, when, where and how they left the Philippines, right?

04:08That's right.

04:10What we have is initial information that they went to Sabah, Malaysia.

04:15We need to backtrack even more to see who are involved in the departure of these people.

04:23Because what the people are saying, for example, the backchannel in Sabah, Malaysia,

04:28there are also many people who can be seen there at the seaports.

04:31There are also many people who can be seen there at the seaports.

04:38There's also the possibility of a private aircraft.

04:43That's why, at this point, we will not release our deeper information until it's confirmed.

04:51Once confirmed, we will face multiple cases of those who were complicit in the departure of these people.

04:58All right. The brother of former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, Wesley Guo,

05:03is he still in Indonesia now? Or if he's not anymore, where did he go?

05:09With Wesley Guo, the last known information is that he's in Indonesia.

05:14We haven't added our new information as to his whereabouts, if he moved to another country.

05:20We are waiting for the confirmation of our Indonesian counterparts if there are any updates on his trip.

05:26We are just different in luck, ma'am.

05:30I would also like to ask if Pastor Apolo Kibuloy is still in the Philippines,

05:34which the government has been looking for for a long time.

05:36So far, according to our records, there have been no recent travels of Pastor Apolo Kibuloy out of the country.

05:42All right. Thank you very much, Donna Sandoval, spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration for your time and the information you gave us.

05:49Thank you and good morning.

05:51Good morning.
