00:00When the Senate heard yesterday that a former PNP chief helped Manojo to leave the Philippines,
00:06Mayor Alice Guo was dismissed.
00:08The following day, Guo and the former Mayor of Pangasinan, Liceldo Calugay,
00:15who both claimed to be in a relationship, were also dismissed.
00:18Here is the latest news from Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:24Who helped Alice Guo to leave the Philippines?
00:28Senator Riza Ontiveros asked,
00:30Is it possible that an official or an employee of the government is involved in the dismissal of an official of the PAG Corps?
00:46The PAG Corps does not have a name of who is the former PNP chief.
00:51But based on the information they received,
00:53there is talk in the intelligence community that this month's dismissal is from Guo.
00:59Is it also part of the talk that this alleged former chief PNP was helped by anyone
01:08from our current government officials in the dismissal of Guo Huaping?
01:13Even worse, if historically, there is a monthly payroll.
01:29The clarification of the PAG Corps is fast.
01:32It has not been verified yet.
01:33The PNP official said that it is under investigation.
01:36They have not received such an intelligence report.
01:39But they continue to investigate if there are police involved.
01:44Can we know who this former chief PNP is?
01:46I'm concerned because I am a former chief PNP.
01:49Maybe later, there will be a script that Bato is receiving money from you.
01:55Nothing like that is happening.
01:58Are you sure?
02:01I'm sure.
02:02I am also curious if it is true that there is a high-ranking official of the Bureau of Immigration
02:08who received Php 200 million to escape Guo.
02:12In the amount of Php 200 million, we got intelligence information with regard to the amount.
02:20But with regard to the amount that I received, that amount that is associated with the BI,
02:31there is nothing yet but we're still validating.
02:37We're part of the investigation, Madam Chair.
02:39In July, Alice Guo left the Philippines, but her counter affidavit was notarized in August.
02:46How did that happen when she was no longer in the country?
02:49According to Guo's secretary, Kat Salazar, the former mayor called her to ask for a notary
02:56and to have her house document acquired in Bantarlac.
02:59Who took the document?
03:01It was in the drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
03:04She said that she attached it to the last page of her affidavit.
03:10Did you know that Guo Huaping was no longer in the Philippines that day?
03:14No, Your Honor.
03:15Did you know that Mayor Alice was no longer in the Philippines that day?
03:19No, Your Honor.
03:21I was not in a position to ask where she was.
03:25But did you know that she was preparing to leave that day?
03:29No, Your Honor.
03:31Kat Dante's counter affidavit was that the person who contacted the notary,
03:36a personal assistant brought by Guo's secretary, the document.
03:40When she returned it because there was no signature, the assistant went to the secretary in the van.
03:45One of Guo's assistants got out of the window and got hurt.
03:49When the secretary returned from the van, the document already had a signature.
03:53Did you sign the affidavit?
03:55Because we know that Guo Huaping was no longer in the Philippines that day.
03:59No, Your Honor.
04:00Guo said that she already signed the signature page of the affidavit on the first week of July.
04:05I signed the last page of the document.
04:09Where did you sign it?
04:10I signed it before I left.
04:12Who prepared this page for you to sign?
04:15Sen, there was a case that was filed against me that invoked my right.
04:19Despite Guo's lawyers, they did not know that she was no longer in the Philippines when they filed the counter affidavit.
04:26It is not personal that they were able to meet because Guo had a death threat.
04:30Attorney Elmer Galicia continued to be a notary.
04:34Attorney Galicia lied because it was not signed in front of Attorney Galicia.
04:40She definitely lied and she should also be prosecuted by the DOJ.
04:44I am a victim. I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
04:50In the hearing, Kat Salazar admitted that she called the Executive Secretary of Sual Pangasinan Mayor Liceldo Dong Calugay
04:59to ask for help with the notarization of the document.
05:02Why did you call Ms. Cheryl, the Chief Executive Assistant of Mayor Calugay, when there are so many people who can ask for help?
05:16That was the instruction of the ma'am.
05:18That is why Senator Riza believes that Ms. Alice Guo and Calugay were close and that they both denied having a relationship.
05:25As for the witnesses in the hearing, the business seems to be booming.
05:29The names of the two are being called.
05:31Most of your names are combined, right?
05:38Lixel, Alice, L-I-C-L, Liceldo.
05:43Dong Guo, Dong and Guo.
05:46You even defeated Dong.
05:48Some of their pictures were also shown together.
05:51According to Ms. Guo Huaping, you are just friends.
05:56Is that how you will characterize your relationship?
06:00Yes, Madam Chair. We are just friends.
06:02Just friends? Yes, Your Honor.
06:05Not just friends?
06:06Just friends, Your Honor.
06:08I don't care if you have a romantic relationship.
06:13We are interested in the possibility of your criminal relationship.
06:18According to Calugay, they met in 2016 when he was looking for a pork supplier.
06:24But they don't have a business or bank account together.
06:28That is why the Senate cut the construction materials for the pig farm of the Guo family named after Calugay.
06:36I did not pay, Madam Chair.
06:38The story is, Mayor Alice called me and asked where can I buy cheap construction supplies
06:46because our family business is construction supplies.
06:51I clarified this receipt, Your Honor.
06:55Please, Mayor. They already know him.
06:58Because in October, they bought a lot from them.
07:04Php 292,000.
07:07It is not true that by December, they already forgot about Guo Huaping.
07:12That is why you need to give the receipt in your name.
07:15Madam Chair, we don't have a single business partner.
07:19You are under oath.
07:21If you keep on lying before this committee, I might force to cite you in contempt.
07:30Your girlfriend already lied. You still lied.
07:34I surmise that these businesses are just front for possible money laundering.
07:42Calugay insisted that he has a connection with Duan Renwu and Cassandra Leong,
07:47two individuals who were arrested in the Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
