00:00The Bureau of Immigration of Airplanes and not boats denied that Alice Guo or Guo Huaping's car is on its way to Malaysia.
00:08Now, let's listen to Dana Sandoval, the spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration.
00:13Good morning, Ma'am Dana. This is Maris. Let's go live to the first news.
00:16Good morning. Good morning.
00:18Alright. First of all, how did you find out that the car of Alice Guo or Guo Huaping is on its way to the Philippines and not a boat?
00:26Yes, the process of checking the records of our government is quite extensive.
00:31We checked all the manifestos of those who left the country from July 1 up to 20.
00:43Those who are formal and those who submitted their manifestos. Alice Guo did not travel there.
00:56We saw in the records in Malaysia that she entered Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
01:04It means that she boarded an airplane.
01:08When we confirmed with our counterparts about the Saba, allegedly, the day after she went to Kuala Lumpur,
01:19there was no record of that said arrival.
01:22That's why we consider that the so-called Saba arrival is not counterfeit.
01:29Where did they go to the airport and why was there no record of their arrival?
01:34That's what we are now backtracking to find out.
01:39We confirmed that via aircraft, they arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
01:47We narrowed down the choices and we are in the process of coordinating with our counterparts in Malaysia
01:59to see the manifestos of the flights that arrived during that period in Kuala Lumpur.
02:06We are backtracking now.
02:08Based on our analysis, it doesn't seem like she left a major international airport or seaport, former Mayor Alice Guo.
02:20We believe that she might have used a private airstrip to illegally leave the country without the knowledge of authority.
02:30Let me clarify. If it's a private airstrip, there are no immigration officials there?
02:35If it's a private airstrip, usually the person handling it is a ground handler
02:40who informs and gets the clearances from the different government agencies.
02:45If it's a private airstrip, the CIQ, Customs Immigration Quarantine, will inform to conduct inspections prior to the aircraft departing.
02:58Apart from that, they are also getting other clearances for the takeoff of the aircraft.
03:04It's possible that the CIQ and the illegal takeoff of the aircraft were not informed.
03:11So you're saying that the officials were not informed and the officials of the government were not involved?
03:22The investigation is not yet complete.
03:25We haven't seen any links that she was involved, particularly with immigration.
03:33But the investigation is still ongoing.
03:35So we will see later.
03:37At least it's clear now that half of the story of former Mayor Alice Guo is invalidated already.
03:44And we would be able to know the other half in the next few weeks.
03:49Were you able to find out, ma'am, who is the owner of the aircraft and other people on the flight?
03:54Will they face complaints because they were allowed to leave the country?
04:00Yes. Right now, it's too early to tell who are the accomplices.
04:05But definitely, they will face several cases because they aided a fugitive who left the country through illegal means.
04:15He's not alone.
04:17Ms. Maris, we believe that no one can help him alone.
04:21Or no one knows, just like in their story, they rode a boat and no one was seen.
04:28There were no people around and no one helped them.
04:31That's quite impossible because there were pilots, crew and people around that would have seen or allowed the departure of that aircraft.
04:45So definitely, it's not just one person.
04:48There is a group of people that assisted their departure.
04:51And that's what we're trying to find out.
04:53How is your monitoring of Wesley Guo?
04:56Where is he now and will he really surrender?
04:58He said that he will wait for the notice of his brother, Alice.
05:02Yes. There are no updates from our counterparts about Wesley Guo.
05:08But we are monitoring him.
05:10We're hoping that he will return immediately in the same manner as Sheila, Cassandra and Alice Guo.
05:19But you're actively pursuing Wesley.
05:22Yes. We're still pursuing him.
05:25According to your records, he entered the Philippines more than 20 times.
05:29Sheji Zhang, the one who said Alice Guo is a Chinese spy, when did she go to the Philippines?
05:36Her last travel was in 2020.
05:40He stayed here for a few days.
05:43Prior to that, he went to many places in and out of the country.
05:47We also have a question, Ma'am Dana.
05:50Is the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque still here in the Philippines?
05:53Let's change the topic first.
05:56Yes. We don't have a record of any recent travel of the former spokesperson Harry Roque.
06:04Thank you very much for the information you gave us and for your time.
06:08Bureau of Immigration, Spokesperson Dana Sandoval, good morning.
06:12Thank you. Good morning.
