00:00Good morning Madam Chairperson and Honourable Senators.
00:05Since I was appointed as Officer-in-Charge in the Office of the Commissioner,
00:11I asked for authority to conduct an internal investigation
00:16regarding the personnel of the Bureau of Immigration.
00:20The first thing we did was to get a list of immigration personnel
00:26who are on duty at different airports from July 1 to 18 of 2024
00:32and not just at the airport, but at our border crossing stations
00:36so that we can establish if Ms. Alice Go's way of leaving
00:42is through the sea or via airplane.
00:48Now, we already have an initial theory,
00:52but as I pointed out, Your Honour, it is just the first theory.
00:58We are subject to the strictest scrutiny.
01:01The theory that we presented to you informally yesterday,
01:08and that we also presented to Senator Gatchalian informally yesterday,
01:13is that he left via sea. That is the first theory.
01:18The first thing we based it on is what Alice Go and Sheila Go's passports contain.
01:24There are two things.
01:26First, there is a stamp dated July 18, 2024 that he entered via Kuala Lumpur.
01:33Second, there is a stamp stating that he also entered via Sabah on July 19.
01:40Now, based on the first theory that I mentioned,
01:45subject to the strictest scrutiny, he left via sea
01:51using also the testimonies of Alice and Sheila Go,
01:56and entered via Sabah.
01:59Now, we are in the process of validating all the information
02:04because witnesses said that they left via yacht.
02:10One thing we did was to go to the five officials of the Bureau of Immigration in Manila Yacht Club.
02:17But we were told to submit a letter and ask for an appointment
02:21to conduct an ocular inspection of the premises.
02:26You were not allowed to enter Manila Yacht Club?
02:28No, ma'am, we were not allowed to enter.
02:30But we wrote on September 13 to formalize our request to conduct the ocular inspection.
02:39Did the Manila Yacht Club respond?
02:41As of now, we have not yet received an answer regarding that.
02:46And you are a government bureau and there is an active investigation going on regarding this?
02:54That's correct, Your Honor.
02:55I hope you will receive an answer from the Manila Yacht Club as soon as possible.
03:00Yes, Your Honor. We will reiterate and repeat our request to the Manila Yacht Club
03:05for us to be allowed to conduct the ocular inspection
03:09and bring more information to be given and turned over to this honorable committee, Your Honor.
