00:00Senator Sherwin Gatchalian released the names of three Chinese nationals who helped Alice Guo to leave the Philippines.
00:08Meanwhile, the Department of Justice recommended the charges of qualified human trafficking and kidnapping for ransom
00:15to the two Chinese middle managers of POGO in Porac.
00:19For Unang Balita, I'm Salima Refran.
00:22Hey, who's that?
00:24The complaint of POGO workers who were abducted in Lucky South 99 in Porac, Pampanga,
00:30has been resolved according to the Justice Department.
00:33The Department of Justice recommended the charges of qualified trafficking in persons and kidnapping for ransom
00:41to the two Chinese middle managers of POGO.
00:44According to the resolution, one of the victims was recruited for another job.
00:49But he was forced to go to Porac, Pogo and was made a love scammer.
00:54When he refused, he was tortured using a baseball bat and he was held in one of the rooms.
01:01The other victim was abducted in Manila and brought to Porac.
01:05His family in China demanded a ransom of Php 300,000.
01:10And when he couldn't pay, he was injured and handcuffed in the frame of a bed.
01:16Their organized crime moved here.
01:19They brought a bat.
01:21That's one of the reasons why the president doesn't want POGO anymore.
01:26It's because of the social ills and the criminal aspect that is not acceptable to us.
01:34The two accused are now in the custody of POGO.
01:37They need to finish the litigation and serve their sentence.
01:41if they will be convicted in the cases before they face the rampant deportation cases against them.
01:47For the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC,
01:51filing a case in court is a big deal in the interest of other victims or witnesses
01:57to be the big players of illegal POGO.
02:03When our witnesses and complainants become cooperative,
02:09it's easy for us to have the case filed against the big players,
02:16like the former mayors, Alice Guo and Cassandra Ong.
02:23They are the big names that are mentioned here.
02:27In response to the complaints of Alice Guo,
02:30Comilec received Guo's counter-affidavit in the complaint of material misrepresentation against her.
02:37The complaint was based on Guo's false admission to her Certificate of Candidacy for the 2022 elections.
02:44Because of that, the preliminary investigation can be stopped and the resolution of the controversy can continue.
02:52I want to prove that we are not just single out Mayor Alice Guo.
02:56Because we are regular in having misrepresentation cases.
03:00Meanwhile, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has information
03:04that three personalities with high positions in POGO, in Bambantarlak and Purak Pampanga,
03:11helped Guo's group to leave the country.
03:15They are Aduan Renwu, Wang Ji Yang, and Zhang Jie.
03:19Aduan Renwu also helped this network to transfer Guo to Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia,
03:26where Guo was arrested.
03:28Aduan Renwu is one of the active personalities in their movement in Indonesia,
03:36Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
03:38One is Wang Ji Yang, and the other is Zhang Jie, president of Lucky South.
03:43They booked hotels, facilitated travel.
03:47Gatchalian did not specify who among these names was written on Guo's papers in the last hearing.
03:53But he said that Wang Ji Yang, one of the POGO bosses, has a role in Guo's escape.
04:00She played a big role in the escape of Alice Guo and her group in Malaysia.
04:11In their group in Malaysia, Cassandra Lee was also there.
04:15This is the first news in 5 sentences for GMA Integrated News.
