00:00After being questioned on how he was able to sign the affidavit this August,
00:06the National Bureau of Investigation also examined the signatures of Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo
00:10in the Senate Attendance and other documents.
00:13This is the news of Donnald Pingpungco.
00:18In the Senate hearing, Alice Guo was the one who signed the counter-affidavit
00:22that was notarized in Bulacan on August 14.
00:25They are now questioning Alice Guo because she was not supposed to be in the Philippines on that date
00:30so it is impossible for her to be in front of the notary for this.
00:34But Guo said that she signed the counter-affidavit on the first week of July before she left the country.
00:41But it appears in the investigation of the NBI that when Guo compared the signature of the counter-affidavit
00:46and his signature in the Senate Attendance on September 9,
00:49as well as in his House and Executive Orders when he was still sitting as mayor,
00:54the signatures did not match.
00:56So according to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, Guo is lying.
01:01Senator Arisa Ontiveros said that the chairperson of the committee investigating the POGO
01:06should not only answer the client but also the lawyer.
01:10And this should also be investigated by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.
01:13We are still trying to get the statement of Guo's lawyer regarding the results of the investigation of the NBI.
01:19But according to the counter-affidavit of Guo, even though it was not a personal question,
01:24the lawyers of Guo were told by the Justice Department that it is possible that they will return.
01:30If you file a case, especially if it's a lawyer who is doing his job,
01:37and you don't have evidence, just speculations,
01:40it's hard because we can also file a case in the courts.
01:45Qualified human trafficking has been added to the cases that Guo is facing in court.
01:50The case that was filed in Pasig RTC is non-bailable according to the DOJ.
01:54The DOJ is hoping that the court will issue a warrant of arrest,
01:58especially since the Senate has already announced a possible final hearing on the issues related to POGO.
02:03There is a possibility that she will already be released from the Senate's custody.
02:07The DOJ has no jurisdiction over the courts to determine the timing of the release or issue of the warrant of arrest.
02:15Of course, it would be in our favor that she won't be released.
02:20Guo's field plan is to wait for the time when the contempt order of the Senate will be released.
02:25David assured that when it comes to the court, Guo will speak.
02:29In court, the prosecution cannot say that you're lying, it's not true.
02:35They cannot say that I don't believe you, you're lying. That's not allowed.
02:39In the middle of this, the PNP said that they are taking the Senate hearing seriously
02:44because there was a former PNP chief, Omano, who was on the payroll of Guo and helped Guo escape.
02:50Well, no less than the chief PNP talked to me about that,
02:54what he said and what he wants to convey to our media colleagues is that there is no sacred cow in this investigation,
03:02even if it means holding liable a former chief PNP.
03:07Following Guo's escape, PNP is investigating other names, but there is no former PNP chief.
03:13We will see how far we can get evidence or we can gather information against this former chief PNP.
03:25According to the former PNP chief and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,
03:29the other former PNP chiefs depend on this information.
03:3224 ex-PNP chiefs are still alive today.
03:37Before they released the information, they confirmed and validated it.
03:42Once validated, they should know who they are and say their names.
03:49They shouldn't just say that they are former chief PNP.
03:53It's like a conspiracy.
03:59Is this part of a grand political plan
04:04to be with the Marites?
04:09Donna Tingungco reporting for GMA Integrated News.
