00:00I expect that he will bring to the detention facility of the Senate Dismissed Bantarlak Mayor Alice Go when she returns to the Philippines.

00:07And if she does, we will be able to invite Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. Senator, good morning. Thank you for joining us today.

00:14Good morning Ivan. Good morning to our listeners.

00:18Senator, our sources are saying that Alice Go will return to the Philippines later this afternoon. What is your information on this?

00:28So far, this is my information based on our charges and partners here in the Senate.

00:36So far, this is the only information we have.

00:42She currently has custody of the Bureau of Immigration and the NBI, so the Senate is relying on their information. But so far, this is the only information we have.

01:00All right. But she will be brought to the Senate once she returns to the Philippines.

01:03But it looks like there's a dispute between you and Senate President Chisa Escudero regarding the arrest of Alice Go in the Senate detention facility.

01:11Do you have a consensus or agreement on what will be implemented?

01:15Based on our previous regulations, cell phones are prohibited inside the detention cell, including the one that was used by the first ones.

01:26That's the only thing we will clarify, whether this will be implemented in the coming time. That's the only thing we will clarify.

01:38They are together in one room, Sheila Go.

01:42Correct. They are together in one room and the detention cell is ready. In fact, the detention cell is ready for her family because there's an outstanding arrest order for her entire family.

01:55But so far, the only ones who are being arrested are Sheila and Go Hwapeng.

02:00What do you know Senator Gatchalian on the information that the Indonesian government is asking for the drug suspect, Gregor Hass, in place of Alice Go?

02:13As far as I know, this Australian man is the most wanted criminal when it comes to drugs.

02:21This man is a drug lord or drug dealer in Indonesia. He was charged there, but he escaped and was arrested here.

02:35I don't have any information on the so-called prisoner swap. I've heard about this issue for a long time.

02:46But when it comes to Go Hwapeng, I still don't have any information.

02:51But would you be amenable to it if there's a demand for a change of mind?

02:55Circumstances should be studied as to what are the legal implications of this.

02:59But if I were to ask, because the payment happened in Indonesia, he sold drugs there, he suspected drugs there,

03:10and obviously, many were charged there, many were convicted.

03:16He should go back to face his cases there.

03:20He should face the charges against him because that's what we want to do to Go Hwapeng,

03:29to face his cases here in our country.

03:32But his legality should be studied. That's my caveat here.

03:37The committee is discussing when Alice Go will appear in the hearing.

03:41Personally, what are the questions that you want to ask her?

03:48What are the things that you want to know from her?

03:51Ivan, if we look at the situation, many people have already filed a hearing, but no one has been jailed yet.

03:58So it's important that someone will be jailed and be held accountable.

04:02We are not just holding this hearing for the sake of hearing,

04:05but it's important that someone will be held accountable and be jailed.

04:10That's what we haven't seen yet.

04:13So we are continuously looking for evidence to help our colleagues in the Executive, DOJ, and PAO

04:22to file more cases, especially here in PORAC,

04:26because in PORAC, not a single case has been filed yet to file a case.

04:32We expect that the side of Go Hwapeng will exhaust all legal remedies available to her to avoid this.

04:45What if her answer to you in the hearing is that she won't remember?

04:51We already brought it there.

04:54If we can remember her first hearings, she won't remember.

04:58She will check her records.

05:00As long as she doesn't answer, she will be detained here for a long time.

05:04And just like what we did in the last hearing,

05:09if she stays here for a long time, she will be transferred to a regular prison.

05:14Not here in the detention cell of the Senate, but she can be transferred to a correctional prison or here in PASA-SCPK.

05:24Do you plan to send Alice and Shilago and Cassandra Leong at the same time so that they can share their statements?

05:32For now, Cassandra is the only one we invited.

05:37On Monday, we invited Go Hwapeng.

05:42If necessary, they can come at the same time.

05:45It also depends on what Cassandra will say.

05:48Cassandra will be elapsed in her answer to the House of Representatives.

05:51I analyzed the transcript and watched the video.

05:54She will repeat it over and over again.

05:56Actually, her answer is confusing.

05:58So it also depends on her answer to the Senate.

06:02Lastly, Senator, do you have an idea of who the helpers are so that Brother Go can be released?

06:09We will get information.

06:12For now, the story that is coming out is what Sheila said.

06:16They are helping each other.

06:18But we have information.

06:20Personally, I got something that should be validated.

06:25We just want to make sure that these tips and information are validated.

06:32Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, thank you very much for your time this morning.

06:36Thank you Ivan. Thank you also.
