00:00A complaint of misrepresentation against Van Van Mayor Alice Goh
00:04was recommended by the legal department of COMELEC.
00:07That was after the fingerprints of Goh Huaping were matched
00:12to the election documents of the Mayor.
00:15Maki Polido was shocked.
00:20Not only the fingerprints of the NBI clearance of Mayor Alice Goh,
00:23COMELEC also confiscated the fingerprints
00:25from the alien registration card issued by the Bureau of Immigration to Goh Huaping,
00:30but also the fingerprints of the Mayor in his voter's registration,
00:34certificate of candidacy, and when he voted in 2022 and 2023.
00:39Like the results of the NBI's investigation,
00:41Goh Huaping and Alice Leal Goh are only one person.
00:45They were supposed to go to Bambantarlac one day
00:49so that they can see the EDCVL,
00:51Election Day Computerized Voters List,
00:55and examine the fingerprints of Alice Goh.
01:00Maki Polido was shocked.
01:01Because the Mayor lied,
01:03COMELEC legal department in COMELEC-ON-BANK
01:06recommended the filing of a case of misrepresentation,
01:09a criminal case due to violation of the Omnibus Election Code.
01:12It has a sentence of up to 6 years in prison,
01:16perpetual disqualification from office,
01:18and no pardon, except if COMELEC allows it.
01:21COMELEC-ON-BANK may issue a decision next week.
01:25If approved, the complaint will be filed to the Tarlac Regional Trial Court.
01:29Mayor Goh may also face a case of perjury.
01:33This is also a lesson to everyone.
01:34Because no one will file a disqualification or cancellation of candidacy,
01:39we cannot lie to our certificate of candidacy
01:43because you may be charged with a criminal case.
01:47These actions are premature or too early,
01:51said Stephen David, lawyer of Mayor Goh.
01:53He believes that before filing a case against his client,
01:56the court should first say that the birth certificate and Philippine passport of Mayor Goh are fake.
02:01In order to say that he has misrepresentation,
02:04the court must first make a conclusion.
02:07If we receive formal notice to answer or reply,
02:12I will file a motion to dismiss.
02:14For me, there are prejudicial issues that need to be resolved.
02:18This is also the reaction of the lawyer
02:20when the office of the Solicitor General filed a co-oranto petition against the mayor.
02:25Lawyer Goh said that his client is only here in the Philippines.
02:29He doesn't want to listen to the Senate because there are cases being faced.
02:33He may use against him what he said in the Senate hearing.
02:37He's still being threatened by the TNP.
02:39The challenge definitely is that there are resources for the people we are looking for.
02:44If people really want to hide,
02:46they will use their resources to elude arrest.
02:52That is expected from the people we are looking for.
02:57But on the part of the PNP, we're taking this as a challenge.
