00:00Okay, let's talk about you joining Lucky South 99. When did you apply to Lucky South 99?
00:08I applied, regarding what?
00:11You worked in Lucky South 99, right?
00:14Yes, in the papers.
00:16Okay, how did you get in there? Can you tell the committee how you got in to Lucky South 99?
00:22I mean, you have a job, right?
00:27Did you just get in to Lucky South 99 or did you apply there?
00:33At first, we got in to Lucky South 99.
00:41You?
00:42Yes, me.
00:43Oh, you got in to Lucky South 99?
00:46At first, yes.
00:50But according to Stephanie, Stephanie worked in Lucky South 99 first and then you got interviewed in Lucky South 99 and you applied.
01:08May I know when I applied and who interviewed me?
01:14Yes, who interviewed you?
01:17May I know who interviewed me at that time?
01:23You won't be able to answer that.
01:29Let's talk about your big boss.
01:31You won't be able to explain how you got in to Lucky South 99.
01:39But as per record, Stephanie was the first one to interview you.
01:44You followed her.
01:45And then, eventually, this is what happened.
01:49When you got in to Lucky South 99, you became the personal translator of your big boss, Duan Renu, right?
02:02He's my uncle.
02:06Uncle?
02:07Yes.
02:08How did you meet Duan Renu?
02:12He's my mom's best friend.
02:14Oh, your mom's best friend?
02:16Yes.
02:17When did your mom and Duan Renu become best friends?
02:24Yes.
02:25How did they meet?
02:27You said earlier, Mr. Chair, that's why you got in to Lucky South because your mom's best friend is Duan Renu.
02:40Duan Renu, for the information of everyone, is the big boss of Lucky South 99.
02:45How did your mom and Duan Renu become best friends?
02:49How long did they know each other?
02:51They met in China because my mom was born in China.
02:56She's a Chinese.
02:58Ah, okay.
02:59Yes.
03:00So that's where your mom met Duan Renu in China.
03:05Yes.
03:06They were only in the same city.
03:08So, you mean, because you introduced her, your mom was the one who introduced you to Duan Renu?
03:17No.
03:18My mom contacted me if I could help her because she doesn't know how to speak Tagalog and English.
03:26Okay, correct.
03:28So that's my first question.
03:30Let's go back to the first question, which you probably didn't hear.
03:34You became Duan Renu's personal translator, right?
03:42That's also possible.
03:44Huh?
03:45That's also possible.
03:46No, your answer is also possible.
03:49You became the personal translator of the big boss of Lucky South 99, Mr. Duan Renu.
03:58Yes or no?
04:02Yes.
04:03It's not hard to answer that.
04:05There's nothing wrong with answering that.
04:07That you became a personal translator.
04:11As a personal translator, Mr. Chair, because you were always with Mr. Duan Renu, right?
04:21Yes, at first.
04:23So you became a constant companion of Duan Renu, right?
04:31If needed. Not always.
04:35Well, according to the testimony of some of the resource persons,
04:40during the last hearing, when you were still not here,
04:43they said that you became a personal translator and because of your job,
04:48you were always with Duan Renu, a constant companion.
04:52Again, if needed, I was always with him.
04:57And in fact, this is my next question.
05:01Because you were always with Duan Renu, a personal translator,
05:04because Duan Renu does not know how to speak Tagalog,
05:07due to the many transactions,
05:09is it true that you lived in the house where Duan Renu lived?
05:17Yes.
05:19Where was that?
05:20Where did you live in the house where Duan Renu lived?
05:25At first, in the office.
05:32Where was that office?
05:36I think it was around Friendship Highway, but I'm not sure of the address.
05:40In Pampanga?
05:41Yes.
05:42Okay. So how many years did you live there with Duan Renu?
05:46Oh, it's Wu.
05:48I think since then, since I went there, that's where I lived.
05:53But sometimes, I also go home to Binondo.
05:56So you started working with Duan Renu in 2019, is that right?
06:02Yes.
06:03Okay. So in 2019, you lived with him.
06:08Who was with you in the house where Duan Renu lived?
06:12Duan Renu.
06:15Just the two of us.
06:17Just the two of you.
06:19In the house.
06:20In the house.
06:21But we have staff.
06:23Okay.
06:24So it's true that since you lived there,
06:28the testimony of the former resource person here is true,
06:33that you were always together.
06:37In one house, but not always together.
06:41How did that happen?
06:44You were together in one house,
06:47but you said you weren't always together.
06:50When you woke up, Duan Renu was already there.
06:53When you went to sleep, Duan Renu was already there.
06:57So almost every day.
06:59Because you said, as per your statement, you lived there.
07:03So you see Duan Renu every day, is that right?
07:07We don't see him every day.
07:09We live in one house.
07:11But he has his own path.
07:13I also have my own path.
07:17So sometimes, we don't see each other in one house.
07:21Even if we live together in one house.
07:25I have a question, Mr. Chair.
07:27I hope you won't get angry.
07:29Yes.
07:30I hope you won't mind this.
07:32Yes.
07:33But we can't get away from what people think.
07:37You're living in one roof.
07:39You are a woman.
07:41Duan Renu is a man.
07:43My question is,
07:45do you have a relationship with Mr. Duan Renu?
07:48No.
