00:00Good evening to you all.
00:05We are now back in the Philippines with the brother of Alice Goh, Sheila Goh,
00:10and her business partner, Cassandra Lee Ong,
00:13who is involved in illegal smuggling in Porac, Pampanga.
00:17They were stopped by the authorities in Indonesia on Tuesday before their flight to Singapore.
00:22Based on the surveillance, they were accompanied by the dismissed Bamban Mayor when he left the country.
00:28From Naia Terminal 1, Sandra Aguinaldo is live.
00:33Sandra.
00:36Mel, Emil, Vicky, for 48, yesterday, we were here in Naia Terminal 1.
00:42This is Sheila Goh, the sister of the dismissed Bamban Mayor, Alice Goh,
00:47and her business partner is Cassandra Lee Ong.
00:50She is one of the incorporators of Lucky South 99.
00:55She is the POGO of Porac, Pampanga, who is also being investigated.
00:59When they arrived at the airport, they were immediately turned over by the people of the Bureau of Immigration
01:04to the National Bureau of Investigation.
01:07The two were taken to the Bureau of Immigration in Manila.
01:15As you can see, they were escorted by a lot of officials.
01:24According to DOJ ASEC, Mico Clavano, they do not have official information.
01:29As of now, from the DOJ, if the DFA has canceled the passport of these people.
01:36What is clear is that they have a warrant of arrest for contempt.
01:40Sheila Goh has a warrant of arrest from the Senate and Ong has a warrant of arrest from the Camera.
01:47But Clavano said that it is better for them to go through the right process
01:51if they will be brought to the Bureau of Immigration.
01:56Sheila Goh has immigration violations and Ong will face the case of obstruction of justice,
02:03violation of passport act, and other crimes.
02:06Here is the statement of the DOJ.
02:11The Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives, Senate, NBI, and Bureau of Immigration
02:20came together and we came to an agreement that it would go through the proper processes.
02:26We want to err on the cautious side of things.
02:29We all came to an agreement that it would first pass through the law enforcers,
02:33which is really the protocol.
02:35B.I. first and then Cassandra Lee Ong will have to go through inquest proceedings over the weekend
02:42due to the several crimes that are going to be charged to her.
02:47Ms. Goh will have to be under the custody of immigration because she is charged with immigration violations.
02:55The two will first go through the process of B.I. and NBI
03:00and after that, they will be presented to the Senate and the House of Representatives
03:04and the DOJ will make sure that they are there whenever they need to be listened to.
03:10Also, what happened in Indonesia, they will not be able to detail it for now
03:16because they have confidential matters that they are working on and are being investigated.
03:21So that's it for now.
03:22Last but not least, from here in IA.
03:25Mel, Vicky, Emil.
03:27Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
