00:00Before we go back to the country, we briefly talked to Dismissed Mabantarlak Mayor Alice Goh in Indonesia, but she refused to answer the questions on how she got out of the country.
00:09Here is the first news, John Consulta.
00:15You're going home. How do you feel?
00:17I'm good.
00:18You're good?
00:19Are you okay now?
00:20Yes.
00:21Okay.
00:22Do you have the message?
00:23The accusations against you, you're confident you can answer it?
00:27Are you going to go? Are you going to respond?
00:31Stop there, please.
00:32Dismissed Mabantarlak Mayor Alice Goh gave a thumbs up when we asked her how she's doing in Indonesia before she flew back to the Philippines to face the numerous accusations against her.
00:45At one point, some officials from the Philippines and even from Indonesia took a selfie with her.
00:51Do you remember me?
