00:00Some of the government's officials changed the names of some, not the visas, of the newlyweds that were led by Alice Guo.

00:10This is also because of the questionable citizenship and possible loss of the visa in its proclamation as a mayor.

00:18Mel Alasbora is in the center of the news.

00:22DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos is confident that the newlyweds led by former Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo will remain valid or have a visa

00:33when she was still a mayor, even if it can be proven that she is not a true Filipino.

00:38In the plenary deliberation of the Camera about the allocation of the funds of the Philippine Statistics Authority for the next year,

00:46Four Peace Partylist Representative J.C. Abalos expressed concern about this.

00:51In the cases that we have proven, for example, that a person's birth certificate is fake,

00:58for example, in the case of Mayor Alice Guo, let's say the court has a final finding and ruling that her birth certificate is fake and she is not a Filipino,

01:09we will remember that she became a mayor and one of the powers of the mayor is to solemnize marriages.

01:17What is the effect of this on the marriages that she solemnized?

01:21Because it is stated in our law that if there is no authority to solemnize a solemnizing officer in a wedding, the wedding is void.

01:31So this means that all the Filipinos she married will also be void.

01:37For Secretary Abalos, if in good faith the ceremony was conducted or the two married believe that the mayor who married them has authority,

01:47there will not be a problem. He also laid down the law regarding this.

01:52I will just refer you direct to the family code, chapter 3, article 35, number 2.

02:00I will read it.

02:01Those solemnized, the following marriages shall be void from the beginning.

02:07Number 2, those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages,

02:14unless such marriages were contracted with either or both parties believing in good faith that the solemnizing officer had the legal authority to do so.

02:27So if you are in good faith that you believe that Alice Guo has the authority to solemnize marriages,

02:33and I guess most of them think so because she is a mayor,

02:40you could make use of this article.

02:43It's chapter 3 of the void and voidable, article 35, number 2.

02:49In an interview with PSA, this is also their view.

02:53Although for now, they are focused on the cancellation of Guo's Filipino birth certificate that he was the one who initiated the ceremony.

03:02Our lawyers are looking for what will be the effect.

03:05Because they said that in good faith, not necessarily, but we will check.

03:12Ah, okay.

03:13So first, we still don't know how many they really married.

03:19So that's what our team is doing right now.

03:21We are looking for how many marriages of Mayor Alice.

03:25Being Solicitor General Menardo Guevara,

03:28he also believes that it won't be a problem for Guo's marriages when he was in good faith.

03:35Tomorrow, Alice Guo is expected to face the continuation of the hearing of the House Squad Committee on the issue of illegal marriage.

03:44And Sirin is expected to discuss his personality.

03:49We invited Atty. Harry Roque, Cassandra Ong, Alice Guo, Guo Waping, other personalities, Mayor of Pangasinan.

04:02That's why they were invited there.

04:05Why did we invite them?

04:07Because their testimony is also material.

04:11When we started the hearing on the issue of illegal marriage, they cannot deny our testimony.

04:17Mela Las Moras for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
