00:00I will just refer you directly to the Family Code, Chapter 3, Article 35, Number 2.
00:12Those solemnized, the following marriages shall be void from the beginning.
00:20Number 2. Those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages,
00:27unless such marriages were contracted with either or both parties believing in good faith,
00:34that the solemnizing officer had the legal authority to do so.
00:39Article 35 states that the following marriages shall be void from the beginning.
00:46Void means there is no visa.
00:48Number 2. Those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages,
00:59unless such marriages were contracted with either or both parties believing in good faith,
01:10that the solemnizing officer had the legal authority to do so.
01:15So, if you believe in good faith, that Alice Gou is legally authorized to perform marriages,
01:22I guess, most of them look at it that way because she is a mayor.
01:28You could make use of this article.
01:32It's Chapter 3 of Void and Voidable, Article 35, Number 2.
01:38So, it's not voidable based on that?
01:40This is undervoid and voidable.
01:43It's undervoid and voidable.
01:44Yes.
01:45This is how it looks like.
01:47Because there is good faith.
01:49There is good faith that you believe in this.
01:51And I am also looking for jurisprudence about this.
01:54Okay.
01:55So, once and for all, let's be clear.
01:57Now, when it comes to the question you asked earlier,
02:00about looking for Harry Rocker, the chief,
02:05our answer is that we are ready to coordinate with the House of Representatives,
02:14if this is the context, to coordinate with the PNP.
02:19This is the PNP's rule in handling.
02:21That's how it is.
02:22Other agencies, we are ready to work with them.
02:27Sir, we have another question.
02:29Let's go to October.
02:31It's almost October, filing of CUCs.
02:34Are you going to run as Senator?
02:37Well, as a matter of fact, their party will announce the final decision of the October PNP.
02:46Jen, how is our search for Secretary Rocker?
02:50I mean, do you have any leads on where the Secretary is hiding?
02:56No, we will not answer that.
02:59We're helping along.
03:01All agencies for, not only the Philippine National Police,
03:04and then NBI and BI are helping us in finding him.
03:08But is it safe for the Secretary to be here in the Philippines?
03:11That's up to us.
03:14But do you have a call, Jen, for him to go to Congress instead of using the resources of the PNP?
03:22No, it's up to him.
03:24It's up to him.
03:25He knows what's right and wrong.
03:27He should be shown in the House of Representatives.
