00:00Aside from Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo, the Justice Department also wants her lawyers to be held accountable for her slander in the country.
00:08Ivan Mayrina was arrested.
00:12My client talked to me. She said she's in the Philippines. I talked to her yesterday.
00:17She mentioned me 100 percent that she's in the Philippines.
00:22That's the statement of Attorney Stephen David, one of Alice Guo's lawyers.
00:27Following the breaking news that the country has been dismissed, the mayor was dismissed.
00:31That's why the Department of Justice wants Guo's lawyers to be held accountable for her slander.
00:35The story was spread that Alice Guo is still here in the interviews in the stations on the left and right.
00:41So for us, we need to bring the question to the IBP or the Supreme Court
00:49if these lawyers are being held accountable.
00:52But David didn't lie. He just said what his client told him.
00:58How can you not believe what my client told me?
01:03I don't have any other basis for not believing him.
01:08Is that a lie?
01:09Regarding the statement of DOJ that they are investigating information that Guo paid 200 million pesos to leave the country,
01:17According to his lawyer, they will answer the allegations if they receive summons from them.
01:22According to DOJ, they will also answer Attorney Elmer Galicia,
01:26who said that he saw Alice Guo exchange affidavits with him on August 14,
01:31when the former mayor was abroad.
01:34When he faced the Senate on Tuesday, he admitted that he's not sure if Alice Guo is the one who passed the document.
01:41As of now, I can't say if she's the one I saw.
01:46I asked her, Mayor Alice Guo?
01:50She said to me, just Alice. That's what she said to me.
01:55Guo's counter-affidavit that he asked for a dismissal of the complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking Complaint to the DOJ
02:02because the affidavit is considered falsified,
02:05the DOJ said that it's not certain if the panel of prosecutors will accept Guo's contract
02:10and it's possible to resolve the complaints against him
02:13based on the evidence submitted by the government.
02:16The DOJ said that it will also issue additional cases.
02:19For example, Cassandra Ong's investigation of our team in PORAC,
02:25her Qualified Trafficking in Persons case.
02:28As far as I know, tomorrow or in a week,
02:34she will file a case of money laundering
02:38with Alice Guo and many other individuals.
