FunTranscript
00:00This is the first news, first news.
00:08Igan, one of the people under the inquest proceedings this morning is Cassandra Leong and the sister of the former Mayor Alice Guo, Sheila Guo,
00:21who is now in custody of the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI.
00:25Details in the first news live of James Agustin.
00:30James.
00:35Igan, good morning.
00:36The Special Detention Room of Sheila Guo and Cassandra Leong is now under the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:48At 10.22 p.m., the National Bureau of Investigation arrived in Quezon City.
00:53The convoy is led by Sheila Guo, the sister of the former Mayor Alice Guo and Cassandra Leong,
01:00who was arrested by the raid on Porac, Pampanga, located in South 99.
01:05Attorney Ferdinand Topacio, who is the legal counsel of Leong, also arrived.
01:09According to Topacio, the two people are in a Special Detention Room with an aircon and a folding chair.
01:15The authorities are also watching them closely.
01:18There is a Special Detention Room on the 8th floor.
01:22My fearless forecast here, after a long holiday, since they have a standing warrant emanating from the House of Representatives,
01:35is that they will get a sergeant-at-arms to bring the house to the detention center.
01:43Topacio said that his client, Ong, is in a good condition. He even bought face masks and food.
01:50She's okay. She's in high spirits. She's convinced that she has done nothing wrong but to try to do legitimate business.
01:59Ong was arrested and brought to the Inquest Proceedings later at 8 a.m.
02:03The information that was given to me is that my client will be subject to inquest for obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive.
02:15Where will they be inquested?
02:17Either here or to the DOJ.
02:19Topacio first questioned why his client will be held in the custody of the NBI.
02:25In my humble opinion, the House of Representatives should have taken custody through the sergeant-at-arms.
02:33The problem is, it's a long weekend. I think all of our congressmen are on vacation. So he's here.
02:39According to Topacio, Sheila Guo has her own lawyer, whom she saw walking around last night.
02:45The media did not talk about Guo's lawyer.
02:53Meanwhile, this morning, we have the Inquest Proceedings that will be conducted by Cassandra Lee Ong.
02:59Before we continue, we have seen members of the Bureau of Immigration heading to the headquarters of the NBI.
03:06That's the first news. From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for the German Integrated News.
03:11In the last investigation of Cassandra Lee Ong and Sheila Guo,
03:14the authorities said that there's a strong evidence that there's a connection between the Pogo Hubs in Porak, Pampanga and Mambantarlak.
03:21Another sister of Alice Guo, Wesley, is still being searched.
03:25She's no longer in Indonesia, according to the officials there.
03:29The former mayor is also not known where she is now.
03:32We have the first news, Salima Refran.
03:36Based on the documents and intelligence reports, it's not a coincidence that she's not from the Philippines,
03:45but from Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia.
03:48Dismissed by Mambantarlak Mayor Alice Guo when she arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 18.
03:55On July 21, a passenger obtained this picture of Guo at Kuala Lumpur Airport with Cassandra Ong.
04:02She was laughed at by the Pogo Hubs in Porak, Pampanga, which is located in Lucky South 99.
04:07They were supposed to fly to Singapore.
04:10Guo, Ong and the former mayors, Sheila and Wesley, were in Singapore for almost a month
04:17before they flew to Batam, Indonesia on a ferry last Sunday, August 18.
04:23The news is there in Indonesia and we have verified reports already on this matter.
04:28But our people are working on this matter right now.
04:33According to foreign counterparts in the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
04:38Guo's brother, Wesley, is no longer in Indonesia.
04:42Apparently, Wesley Guo's brother is in another country where he was disclosed.
04:49Now, they couldn't find Alice Lial Guo in Batam, Indonesia.
04:55But they didn't say that she was already out of the country.
04:59We strongly believe that Alice Lial Guo is still in Indonesia.
05:07In the last meeting between Guo's brother, Sheila, and Ong in Indonesia,
05:12the connection between Zunyuan Technologies in Bambang and Lucky South 99 in Porak became clearer.
05:18Well, we found a connection between Alice Guo and Cassandra Leong.
05:25A definite connection was found by our people.
05:31Which means that Bambang and Porak are closely related.
05:37And remember that despite all the denials of former Secretary Roque,
05:45it appears that they're really intimately related.
05:49Cassandra Leong, a very important person of interest for Lucky South 99 in Porak,
06:02and Alice Lial Guo, another very important person of interest for Bambang in Zunyuan.
06:09So these highlights underscore our contention.
06:13We've been saying for a long time that these two scum farms are related.
06:18They belong to the same criminal organization, Cassandra Leong and Alice Lial Guo or Guo Ping.
06:28On Tuesday, August 20, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin ordered the cancellation of the passport of Guo and his siblings and Ong.
06:37But according to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia,
06:40it's not easy to cancel the passport of these two because there might be a problem in sending them home.
06:47That's even if it's fraudulent or they got their passports in the wrong way.
06:52It was not found advisable also to treat it summarily because if the passports are cancelled immediately,
07:02then how can you make them travel back to the country?
07:06You will have to issue a travel document.
07:08It should be an admission that they are Filipino citizens.
07:11This is the first news in Nima Refran for GMA Integrated News.
07:17Congratulations on the arrest of Cassandra Leong and her siblings, Bambang, Alice Lial Guo, and Sheila Guo.
07:24And also on the search for the former mayor, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
07:28Good morning, Senator.
07:30Good morning to our listeners.
07:32Justice Secretary Remulia said that it's not a priority for Sheila Guo to face the Senate hearing
07:38because they will be subject to legal procedures.
07:41Did you talk about this?
07:45The Senate, DOJ and BI talked about this.
07:50The House of Representatives also talked about the custody and transportation of two of Alice Guo's children,
08:06Sheila Guo and Cassandra Ong.
08:09They talked about how they will be transported to the Senate hearings and House hearings.
08:16These two institutions have a pending arrest order.
08:21Now, they are under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration and DOJ for the processing of their documents and other cases.
08:35So there will not be a conflict.
08:37In other words, because these agencies and institutions talked about the process and time of their presence.
08:48Is there a warrant for Sheila Guo to go to the Senate?
08:51There is. She has an arrest order.
08:54I remember early in the issue, as early as May, there was an arrest order.
09:03Let's talk about the role of Sheila Guo in these pogohubs in Boracay or Mamban, which are now related.
09:12Sheila Guo is a close brother of Guo Huaping.
09:16We can see that in Guo family businesses, she has a high position there.
09:22She's either treasurer or corporate secretary.
09:25She and Alice Guo are the president of the companies.
09:30We can see that they are not only close brothers, but they also work together.
09:35Their businesses were established and are related to the pogohubs in Mamban.
09:45What about Cassandra Lee Ong?
09:48Just to refresh, what is the connection between Cassandra and Ong?
09:53We can see that when they were arrested, they were together.
09:58Cassandra Lee Ong and the Guo family are not different. They are very close.
10:03They both ran away. They both ran away to Singapore.
10:06They both went to Indonesia to hide.
10:10There's an allegation that Alice Guo's brother, Wesley Guo, is Cassandra Ong's girlfriend.
10:20That's why they're that close.
10:22Cassandra Ong is the center of the pogohubs in Boracay.
10:26She's the representative of Lucky South 99.
10:29She's also one of the officials of World Wind Corporation,
10:34which owns the land where the pogohubs in Boracay are located.
10:43In this development, Senator Gatchalian, do you have information that Alice and Wesley Guo will be arrested or brought back to the Philippines?
10:53I'm sure that Alice Guo and Wesley Guo and their other companions will be arrested in Indonesia, in Bantang.
11:03Because the authorities there are no longer alerted and they can't escape or go around that area.
11:12It's a matter of time that they will be arrested and brought back to our country.
11:17It's still questionable as to how they got out of the Philippines.
11:22There are three backdoors mentioned by the POC.
11:24Do you have information as to what backdoors they used?
11:28Did they suddenly move to Singapore or Indonesia?
11:32You're right on that.
11:34The Philippines to Indonesia or Philippines to Malaysia leg, that's what's missing.
11:41There are documents that refer to their travels from Indonesia to Malaysia, Malaysia to Singapore, Singapore to Indonesia again.
11:56There are documents like that.
11:58But the documents don't show how they went from the Philippines to Indonesia or Malaysia.
12:07It's not clear where they landed.
12:09That's what we're checking.
12:11We're not only checking the backdoors, we're also checking the chartered flights and private planes.
12:18These documents can also be doctored so that the person who didn't leave the Philippines is wrong.
12:29You mentioned earlier that it's not true that Guo went to a notary public.
12:33There's a CCTV footage from August 14.
12:38Is there evidence to prove this Senator?
12:42It's very clear that Guo left the Philippines on August 14.
12:46The lawyer, Atty. Galicia, needs to answer this question.
12:57If Alice Guo is not here, why is she saying that she saw Alice Guo?
13:04She needs to explain what happened.
13:10It's clear that Alice Guo is not here.
13:12It's impossible for Alice Guo to return to Indonesia.
13:17She needs to explain this clearly.
13:21Senator, it's clear that Alice Guo can make documents.
13:27Correct. She can make documents.
13:29She can buy witnesses.
13:32She can buy witnesses.
13:37We know that these people won't lie if they can't be paid.
13:43Until the end, we can see that she's moving so that the people can pay.
13:49Is this our direction in the hearing, Senator?
13:52The corruption in other government agencies to do this?
13:56That's right. That's what we're looking at, especially her leaving our country.
14:01How did she leave? Who helped her?
14:04Where did she go?
14:09These are the things that should be covered by the law.
14:14At the end of this investigation, we will make a law to cover these holes in our process.
14:22Thank you very much Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. Be careful.
14:25Thank you very much.
14:28The 23 Filipinos rescued by the crew of the MT Sunion were attacked by the group Guti in the Red Sea.
14:41One of the Filipino crew after the attack on the ship,
14:45he said that they were sailing from Iraq to Greece when they were hit by a missile.
14:50The ship was also hit by a missile so it exploded and the water entered.
14:55Their machine was no longer ready.
14:57Yesterday, the Filipino seafarers were rescued according to the Department of Migrant Workers.
15:02The group Guti promised to attack the MT Sunion and another ship in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
15:10The all 23 seafarers are safe and sound.
15:17The Philippines has already announced its intention to the World Health Organization
15:21to get the smallpox vaccines used in their country as a fight against mpox.
15:27As of now, there is no supply of vaccines against mpox in the Philippines.
15:30According to the Department of Health,
15:32the supply of vaccines in Africa where there is already a crisis because of mpox was prioritized.
15:38A mpox case is being monitored by the DOH in the country by the 33-year-old man from Metro Manila.
15:45According to the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,
15:48it will make it difficult for the patient to communicate with their close contacts.
15:52The DOH is already implementing health protocols for businesses that have close contacts,
15:58such as salons, barbershops and spas.
16:04No one will be left out if they wear gloves and face masks.
16:09Why? Because barbers, stylists and beauticians have intimate contacts.
16:15Our interest is to continue the business activities while making sure that health is still the main consideration.
16:23In Singapore, 13 cases of mpox have been detected according to their health ministry.
16:29Before that, the Department of Disease Control of Thailand has already confirmed
16:34that there is a case of mpox that has entered their country.
16:38The man is a senior citizen from a country in Africa.
16:43We will now go to the inquest proceedings.
16:46This morning, Cassandra Leong and former Mayor Alice Guo, Sheila Guo,
16:52are in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI.
16:56Details on the first news live of James Agustin.
17:01James.
17:06Good morning.
17:07The National Bureau of Investigation has closed the Special Detention Room
17:11where Sheila Guo and Cassandra Leong are now.
17:19At 10.22 p.m., the National Bureau of Investigation arrived in Quezon City.
17:24The convoy was led by Sheila Guo,
17:26sister of Dismissed Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo,
17:30and Cassandra Ong, the body of the raided POGO in Porac, Pampanga,
17:34which is located in South 99.
17:36Tony Ferdinand Topacio, the legal counsel of Ong, also arrived.
17:40According to Topacio, the two are in a Special Detention Room
17:44that has an aircon and a folding chair.
17:46The authorities are also keeping an eye on it.
17:49There is a Special Detention Room on the eighth floor.
17:52My fearless forecast here after a long holiday,
18:00since they have a standing warrant emanating from the House of Representatives,
18:05they will get a sergeant-at-arms to bring the house to the detention center.
18:14Topacio said that his client, Ong, is in a good condition.
18:18He asked her to buy face masks and food.
18:20She's okay. She's in high spirits.
18:22She is convinced that she has done nothing wrong but to try to do legitimate business.
18:29It was discovered that Ong underwent an inquest proceeding at 8 a.m.
18:34The information that was given to me is that my client will be subject to inquest for obstruction of justice
18:43and harboring a fugitive.
18:45Where is the inquest?
18:47Either here or at the DOJ.
18:50Topacio first questioned why his client will remain in the custody of the NBI.
18:55In my humble opinion, did the House of Representatives really take custody through the sergeant-at-arms?
19:03The problem is, it's a long weekend.
19:05I think all of our congressmen are on vacation.
19:08So, she's here.
19:11According to Topacio, she has her own lawyer, Sheila Guwo,
19:14whom she also saw walking around last night.
19:16The media couldn't talk about Guwo's lawyer.
19:23In the meantime, we have here at our side the inquest proceedings that will be conducted by Cassandra Lee Ong.
19:30Before we continue, we have already seen members of the Bureau of Immigration heading to the headquarters of the NBI.
19:36That's the first news.
19:37From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
19:41Welcome back to my country, Cassandra Ong and Sheila Guwo from Indonesia.
19:48Continuing our search for Alice Guwo, we have with us the Bureau of Immigration Spokesperson, Dana Sandoval.
19:54Good morning to you, ma'am.
19:55This is Maryse and we are live with the first news.
19:57Good morning. Good morning, Maryse.
19:59Let's start with the information about the former mayor.
20:03Where is Alice Guwo now? Is she still in Indonesia?
20:06Do we have any evidence?
20:09According to the tracking of our counterparts there, it is confirmed that she is still in Indonesia.
20:14There are no attempts to transfer her to another country.
20:18This is former Mayor Alice Guwo.
20:21Alright.
20:22Based on the documents, Guwo arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia.
20:27Do you have any information?
20:29Maybe she went to other countries from the Philippines before arriving in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
20:35Actually, it is not confirmed if she went to Denpasar before going to Malaysia.
20:41Based on what we can see in the passport,
20:44Sheila, who arrived here, passed through Sabah, Malaysia before going to Kuala Lumpur.
20:54From there, they went to Singapore and then on August 18, they transferred to Indonesia via Batam Island.
21:06They ferried to Indonesia.
21:09Ma'am, can we see her return to her country any day from now?
21:15Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is saying that anytime soon, she will be retrieved.
21:21But when she was here in the Philippines, it was hard for the authorities to detain her.
21:26Especially now that she is in another country.
21:29We're very hopeful about that.
21:31We are thankful to Indonesian Immigration for their prompt response to our Commissioner's letter to them,
21:40informing these people.
21:43They immediately pre-locked the whereabouts of Mayor Alice Cuo and her family.
21:51That's why we successfully retrieved Cassandra Leong and Sheila Leal Cuo.
21:57We're hoping that in the next few days, there will be more developments in the case of those who were left there.
22:03A lot of people are asking, Ma'am, why was she detained in the Immigration Synagogue?
22:07Is the BIA's investigation that broad?
22:09According to the information that was collected from the documents that they showed,
22:16it seems that they did not pass through the formal airport or seaport of this group.
22:22The indication that we see is that they passed through Sabah, Malaysia, possibly through illegal means.
22:29That's why they did not pass through the immigration processing.
22:32The backtracking of their flights or their travels, if this is a bank,
22:38we are still doing that so we can know exactly what route they passed through,
22:44so we can know who are liable for their illegal departure.
22:50According to PAOC, it is possible to use a chartered plane from another country,
22:54and they are the backload passengers.
22:56Is it true that you are a backload passenger?
22:58There is no need for a manifest, and there is no need for the passengers to return to the country of origin?
23:07All airplanes require a manifest.
23:11All people who boarded there, even the crew, pilots, are placed in a manifest.
23:18So if they left there and did not depart legally,
23:26then that's considered illegal and falsification of the documents.
23:30How soon are we expecting the results of the investigation, ma'am?
23:33Immediately. We expect that the results will be released next week.
23:40There will be more information about it.
23:42And there, we will know the tracking, when, where, and how they left the Philippines, right?
23:49That's right.
23:50That's right, ma'am.
23:51Now, what we have is initial information that they went to Sabang, Malaysia.
23:56But now, we need to backtrack further to see who are involved in the departure of these people.
24:05Because what PAOC is also saying, for example, backchannel,
24:08in Sabang, Malaysia, there are also many people who can be seen in the seaports.
24:14There are also many people who can be seen in the seaports.
24:17So we will include that in our meeting.
24:20There's also the possibility of private aircraft.
24:24That's why, at this point, we will not release our deeper information until it's confirmed.
24:32Once it's confirmed, we will face several cases of those who were complicit in the departure of these people.
24:39All right.
24:40The sister of former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, Wesley Guo,
24:45is she still in Indonesia now?
24:47Or if she's not anymore, where did she go?
24:51With Wesley Guo, her last known information is in Indonesia.
24:55We haven't added our new information as to whereabouts she moved to.
25:02We are waiting for confirmation from our Indonesian counterparts if there are updates on her trip.
25:08We are just different in luck, ma'am.
25:11I would like to ask if Pastor Apolo Kibuloy is still in the Philippines.
25:15The government has been looking for him for a long time.
25:17So far, according to our records, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy has not traveled abroad.
25:24All right.
25:25Thank you very much, Donna Sandoval,
25:27spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration for your time and the information you gave us.
25:30Take care.
25:31Thank you and good morning.
25:32Good morning.
25:34Now, the long holiday weekend has started.
25:37Passengers are lining up for their bus terminal in Cubao.
25:40Live from Quezon City, we have first news from Bea Pinlac.
25:44Bea, how are you?
25:49Even though it's a bit hot,
25:51some of the passengers we talked to are willing to wait here at Baliwag Station or Baliwag Terminal
25:58for their bus and of course, for their long weekend.
26:05I've been waiting for a long time.
26:07It's still early in the morning,
26:09Annabella has already lined up at the bus terminal here in Cubao, Quezon City to go home to Nueva Ecija.
26:15I came from work. I'm going home straight.
26:19I thought I would be able to catch the bus.
26:22Well, I'll be there later.
26:24According to her, even though she waited for a long time,
26:27she's still excited for her long weekend.
26:30I'm going to party because I'm going to prepare a bit.
26:36Because of the expected number of passengers at the terminal,
26:40some of the people we talked to estimated that it will take a long time for them to catch the bus.
26:46I don't know. There are so many people going home.
26:49I'm not sure. Maybe it will take one or two hours.
26:54It's usual, but I'll wait. There's no choice.
26:59If there's no traffic for hours, I hope there won't be any.
27:04Even though they brought a lot or a few things to go home,
27:07there's one thing that never goes away from the hearts of the passengers.
27:12Pasalubong.
27:13Bananas. Groceries. Chocolates.
27:16Pasalubong for my child.
27:18According to the dispatcher office of the bus terminal,
27:21their bus is enough for the expected number of passengers this long weekend.
27:31Kapuso, there are already a lot of passengers here.
27:35But according to the people of the terminal,
27:38more passengers are expected to arrive later this afternoon.
27:43And that's the first news from Quezon City, Bay of Pinloc for GMA Integrated News.
27:49There are already a lot of people who are excited to go home to their province this long holiday weekend
27:54in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange.
27:57That's the first live news from EJ Gomez. EJ?
28:05Susan, there are already a lot of passengers here in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX this morning.
28:12A few days ago, there are already a lot of passengers here
28:16to go to their destination and vacation this long weekend.
28:26The Xeremey family is one of the many passengers from PITX
28:30to their province to go on vacation this long weekend.
28:33Because they have children with them, they postponed their trip to avoid the pandemic.
28:39We will go to Icavite to visit our family.
28:43We will just stay there for a few days.
28:47Then we will go swimming.
28:49We came here early so that our trip will not be a hassle.
28:54Wendy and Mika, who are the staff of a driving school company,
28:58are going home to Legazpi, Albay after their work in Quezon City.
29:03That's why they traveled early in the morning because the number of passengers in PITX is expected to increase.
29:09We forced them to go home because it's a long weekend.
29:13We will try to go home last night but we can't because the news said that 160,000 people were here last night.
29:22It's a good thing that we already booked a ticket.
29:24It's a bit risky because we thought that we might be stranded just like last night.
29:29Nanay Leonida is in a hurry to go home to Icavite so that she can be with her family this long weekend.
29:36She will try to get a ticket from PITX.
29:40We came from Calbayo in the summer.
29:43Then we will go home to Icavite.
29:48We are in a hurry because we are being forced to go home.
29:51It's just a house.
29:53Because there is an entrance and you will have to bring your grandchildren.
30:00Susan, the number of passengers who will go to PITX is expected to reach 170,000 according to the management.
30:08Most of them are our countrymen who did not accompany us on our trip here yesterday.
30:13At this point, you can see the main entrance of the terminal behind me.
30:17There is a line of passengers who will go inside.
30:20That line will go outside of the terminal.
30:24That line will go outside of the terminal.
30:29That's the first news from Paranaque City.
30:32EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
30:36How are we with the situation in some parts of Iloilo City?
30:39We can already feel the long weekend rush.
30:42First news live from Zen Filantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
30:46Zen, good morning.
30:48Good morning.
30:52Maris, good morning.
30:53Starting today, passengers are expected to land here at Parola Wharf
30:57because it's a long weekend, especially for those who will go on vacation
31:00on the island of Guimaras, one of the destinations in Western Visayas.
31:08Malacanang declared a special non-working holiday today, August 23,
31:13as Pagunita on Ninoy Aquino Day.
31:16On Monday, August 26, is National Heroes Day.
31:19That's why there is a long time to go home to the provinces or to march.
31:23Here at Parola Wharf, we can already feel the long weekend rush.
31:27The Guimaras Island Transport Multipurpose Cooperative
31:30is already preparing for the addition of passengers who will go home
31:33and march on the island of Guimaras.
31:35It depends.
31:36It depends.
31:37I don't know if we can finish it on time.
31:39We are already full.
31:40We are already full.
31:41It depends on the capacity.
31:42According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
31:44they are already preparing for the process of loading rolling cargo
31:48to the pier,
31:49queuing passengers,
31:51and separating dangerous cargo from passengers.
31:54According to the Coast Guard,
31:55we will reach the medical team
31:58so that we can assist the passengers
32:01in cases related to medical attention.
32:04The Maritime Industry Authority also issued guidelines
32:07ordering relaxation for ship owners and operators
32:11of passenger and cargo vessels.
32:13Ships will be allowed to leave immediately
32:16once they reach the maximum capacity or are already full.
32:19Trips can also be added.
32:21The First Come, First Served policy will also be implemented in the provinces.
32:25I expect that the influx of passengers will be moderate.
32:29So I am making every peak season or special occasion
32:33a relaxation order
32:36which is allowing the operators a flexibility of operation.
32:44Maris, aside from the PCG,
32:46there is also a police assistance desk in the provinces
32:48to ensure the safety of passengers this long weekend.
32:52Maris, happy weekend!
32:53Happy weekend and thank you very much!
