00:00We will talk about the return of former Bantan Lakmayo Alice Guo from Indonesia. We will talk to the Bureau of Immigration spokesperson Dana Sandoval. Good morning, Dana.

00:11Good morning. Good morning, Egan.

00:13What are the processes that Alice Guo will undergo before she returns to the Philippines?

00:20Well, we think it will be similar to the process that Sheila Guo, her alleged sister, and Cassandra Leong underwent.

00:30The only difference now, Egan, unlike the two, before, what was intercepted by them was Indonesian immigration.

00:37They were not returned immediately. They were attempting to cross border from Indonesia to Singapore.

00:45That's why they were intercepted by the immigration there. But this time, Alice was caught by the Indonesian police.

00:54So there is a turnover from the police to immigration before she is going to be sent back to the Philippines.

01:01Judge Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia mentioned that it will be difficult for Guo to return. What is the immigration's view on this?

01:12We're hoping that will not be the case. Our Indonesian counterparts are friendly. They've been very, very helpful.

01:23They pledged that this will be over and Mayor Alice Guo will return. Even her brother, her brother-in-law, Wesley, is also with them.

01:42They are monitoring them and they also want her to return immediately.

01:46The news of some Indonesian news websites, they are asking for Indonesia to turn over to the Philippines.

01:53Australian Gregor Johan Hass, one of the most wanted drug suspects in Indonesia, is Guo's counterpart.

02:02Is this a confirmed government policy? What will be the reaction of our immigration?

02:08Personally, I don't have knowledge on this story. Maybe we will get more information from our people on the ground.

02:18But I don't hear anything on the table.

02:23But is there a change of mind?

02:25No. Because the regular process, if there is a deportation proceeding, we are looking at the individual.

02:34Maybe that will be a hindrance. Alice Guo's slow return will be a hindrance.

02:40We're hoping that it's not the case. So far, I haven't heard of such talks on the ground.

02:47Okay. President Bongbong Marcos himself said, Madam Dana, heads with role.

02:56In the Bureau of Immigration, are you conducting your own investigation if there's a link to the illegal deportation of Alice Guo and her associates?

03:06Yes. Our investigation is ongoing and we support the president in the national government's desire to find and arrest

03:16anyone who helped Mayor Alice Guo because we think it's impossible that no one helped her so that she can succeed in the country.

03:27Because what she did was very hard. It's very challenging logistically to, if Sheila is correct, to look for a private resort

03:41that will accommodate them, to book three boats or to look for contrapalses in three different boats.

03:49It's very difficult. She needs a lot of people to talk to. Maybe someone can help them.

03:56That's what we want to know, whether it be from immigration or from other government agencies or from the private sector.

04:04That's also what we want to know so we can clarify this case. If it's true that she went to a private resort, it looks like we need to know who helped her.

04:17The return of Mayor Alice Guo will shed light to so many questions that we have now.

04:25Okay. I will go back to the process. So we don't have a guarantee that she can return this afternoon, like some are saying?

04:34I don't want to say a specific date and time because our counterparts in Indonesia and our people there are not yet confirmed.

04:44She's in place and ready to accept her and assist her return and ensure her safe return to the Philippines.

04:52Okay. Thank you very much, Bureau of Immigration spokesperson Donna Sandoval. Be careful.

04:56Thank you. Good morning.
