00:00Based on his legal team's request, it is not yet clear if Banban Mayor Alice Goh can run again, according to Comelec.
00:08She may be able to run again if she is proven wrong in the 2022 Certificate of Candidacy or COC.
00:15Sandra Aguinaldo has the final say.
00:20After the fingerprint of Banban Tarlac Mayor Alice Goh matches the fingerprint of the Chinese national, Goh Hua Ping,
00:28doubts about the mayor's Filipino identity are growing.
00:33There are even questions if she can still run in the upcoming election.
00:38For her lawyer,
00:40I advise her to run so that the people of Banban can rule her.
00:48But the Commission on Elections said that Goh is not yet sure if she can run in the election 2025.
00:55Aside from the possible cases she will face,
00:58from Ombudsman and Office of the Solicitor General,
01:01Comelec will also study the filing of the case of violation of the Omnibus Election Code
01:07due to the possibility of lying in the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy or COC when this mayor ran.
01:15We will talk to our law department so that we can officially give the instruction to study the case,
01:24the evidence and the initial findings of the Senate.
01:28It's really good that we can wait for the report of the committee of our Senate.
01:33If Goh filed a COC in the election 2025,
01:38she can question Comelec about the rules of her candidacy.
01:42Comelec can also make this decision before printing balotas in December.
01:48The Commission on Banks will make a promise that all the cases will be resolved in the division level by October.
01:55And if she will file a motion for reconsideration,
01:58it will be resolved by November.
02:00Once we print the balota and the configuration of the machine,
02:04we will start in December and it will be clean.
02:06Goh will also not use the Condonation Doctrine or Aguinaldo Doctrine,
02:11a doctrine where if you are re-elected, you will be forgiven for your past crimes.
02:18The Supreme Court has abandoned this doctrine.
02:22The Aguinaldo Doctrine is no longer valid in the case of Binay v. The Court of Appeals.
02:29Goh's lawyer knows this, but he has his own opinion.
02:34It's been more than eight years since they abandoned the doctrine of Aguinaldo Condonation Ruling.
02:42So unless the Supreme Court returns it, because the decision of Aguinaldo Ruling is logical.
02:53Ultimately, for me, it will be the people of Mamban who will speak,
02:57whether or not Mayor Aldis is qualified to lead them.
03:03In the middle of this, the Bureau of Immigration said that
03:07according to their records, Goh and his siblings are still in the country.
03:12Others are still involved in the controversy.
03:16In our travel records, he still has no record of leaving the country.
03:21His name is Alice Goh, as well as Goh Hua Ping and 17 others.
03:27There are still no attempts of departure.
03:29Our most recent was last Saturday, when Zang Ji was arrested in Davao.
03:36He attempted to leave but was arrested.
