00:00Dismissed Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Goh is very careful in giving information
00:07on her upcoming meeting with the Senate about the operations of the POGOs in the country.
00:13But after a long discussion,
00:15the name of one of the leaders who helped her to get out of the country
00:20was given privately by Goh to the Senators
00:23who were already shocked by her repeated refusal to answer their questions.
00:29Here's Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:36Wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet and surrounded by female police officers,
00:41Dismissed Bambang Mayor Alice Goh arrived this morning
00:45to attend the Senate hearing on the POGO operations in the country.
00:50Goh is now facing the Senate
00:52where she was arrested last week
00:54after hiding for more than a month in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
00:59The first question was about her personality.
01:03For your own sake, and for the sake of our committee,
01:07just one last time on this very simple fundamental question.
01:11Are you Goh Hoaping?
01:13I am not confirming.
01:15There was a case filed against me.
01:18I will answer it in court.
01:20The Senate has a right to know who we are talking to.
01:23The person we think is the real person is someone else.
01:26Madam Chair, I am Alice Goh.
01:28Well, we have proven that you are not Alice Goh.
01:33You are the real Goh Hoaping.
01:36It was not only the committee that came to this conclusion,
01:39but also the NBI and another agency.
01:43Goh was also shown the alien fingerprint card of Goh Hoaping,
01:49and Alice's fingerprint from the biometric printout of the NBI.
01:53The NBI based this on the statement that they are only one person.
01:58Is that your signature, Alice?
02:00Under the picture, that is my signature.
02:06But I don't know how that happened.
02:08How do you not know how that happened?
02:10I really don't know, sir.
02:12Goh did not answer many of the questions from the Senators.
02:16He repeatedly invoked his right against self-incrimination
02:20or did not answer the question of whether he will be put in jail.
02:24Alice said that there were already cases filed against him.
02:27She also denied that there were other people in her life,
02:31people whom she did not mention.
02:33That is why she was not able to answer other questions.
02:35Sir, I am here. I am safe. I know that.
02:39But after the session, how about me? That is what worries me.
02:44That is why the Senators were angry.
02:47That answer is unacceptable.
02:50It is unacceptable, Sen. Joel.
02:53But the whole committee does not agree with his safety.
02:57I don't know if you are fooling us here.
03:00You will answer us like that?
03:03You will tell us that you have a death threat
03:07but you cannot say where your death threat came from?
03:10Ms. Alice, I am reminding you.
03:12We have never raised security concerns to the committee before.
03:16This is the only time you were arrested and brought here.
03:19That is why Alice was once again cited in contempt.
03:22I move to cite Guo Huaping, also known as Alice Guo,
03:27in contempt of the Senate for testifying falsely and evasively before this committee.
03:32Concerned with his departure from the country when he was sought by the authorities,
03:37Alice said that they went to the sea,
03:39while Sheila and Wesley Guo went to Malaysia.
03:42They left Manila in a yacht,
03:45boarded a ship,
03:47sailed for four days,
03:49and boarded a smaller boat to go to Malaysia.
03:52A foreign woman from Asia was with them on the trip.
03:56They also did not have a cell phone then.
03:59You did not go out on the deck of the ship?
04:02No.
04:03Isn't that claustrophobic?
04:07Actually,
04:09when we boarded the big ship,
04:12to be honest, if I could go back, I would.
04:15It's scary.
04:16Why would you go back?
04:18It's really scary.
04:21What are you going back for?
04:23I want to go home.
04:26Why didn't you do it?
04:29I know.
04:31I made a mistake.
04:33The Filipinos did not help?
04:35The Filipinos did not help, sir.
04:40When asked who owns the yacht they boarded,
04:44and who helped her to fix her car here,
04:48Guo struggled to give details.
04:51Madam Chair, I really want to say this,
04:55but I cannot say it in public.
04:57Write it down.
04:59Sir, if I write it down,
05:01is it okay if you don't discuss it in public?
05:04Ms. Alice,
05:05please do not tell the Senators
05:07what to do with the information
05:09that we almost have to pinch you.
05:12Write it on the paper.
05:14I'm scared.
05:15Ms. Alice,
05:16we are running out of patience.
05:18I hope you understand that I'm really scared.
05:21You're getting on my nerves.
05:24You're getting on my nerves.
05:26In the end,
05:27Guo wrote on the paper
05:29the names of the Senators.
05:31Not all of the Senators have the same name,
05:34but some have different names.
05:36The person you wrote to
05:40is a holder of five passports.
05:43Based on the information I received,
05:45he's now in Taiwan.
05:47Why did he or she
05:49felicitate your escape from the country
05:52if you spoke ill of him?
05:55That's all.
05:56Why did he facilitate it?
05:58It's just my opinion.
06:02Maybe he's feeling guilty.
06:05Feeling guilty about what?
06:07About what's happening to me.
06:09Did you escape,
06:11or were you forced to?
06:13He initiated it,
06:15but along the way...
06:16So he forced you to escape.
06:17Along the way,
06:18we weren't together.
06:20Isn't he your mastermind?
06:22Is he your mastermind?
06:23Is he your master?
06:25Sen,
06:26I don't have a master.
06:27Okay.
06:28So you're the big boss
06:29of all the Pobos in Bamban?
06:31I'm not the big boss of Bamban either.
