00:00Three government agencies file a money laundering complaint against 24 people, including dismissed
00:06Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and Cassandra Ong.
00:09The Anti-Money Laundering Council, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, and the National
00:13Bureau of Investigation filed the complaint August 30 before the Justice Department.
00:18It involves the operation of the raided Philippine offshore gaming operator in Bamban, Tarlac,
00:23but it also includes Ong, who is an officer of leasing company Whirlwind.
00:27The complaint alleges the dozen businesses under Guo's name were meant to conceal the
00:31true nature of their businesses and to make it appear that they are engaged in legitimate
00:36activities.
00:37The former mayor earlier said in a Senate hearing, her name was just used in the POGO's
00:42documents.
00:43She is facing a separate trafficking complaint before the DOJ.
