00:00Good evening, Paul Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05At this time, PNP Custodial Center is now in jail.
00:09Dismissed Mayor Alex Guo, after facing the court of Tarlac earlier.
00:14PNP assures that there is no special treatment that will be given to the former mayor,
00:18who asked for help because of his personal life.
00:21From arriving in the country last night until facing the press con,
00:26it seems that Guo is serious.
00:28He is far from his temper in Indonesia yesterday.
00:31And EJ Gomez was there.
00:37One ten o'clock in the early morning, when the private plane took off,
00:41Dismissed Mayor Alex Guo was in the General Aviation Area in Naia, Pasay.
00:45They traveled for almost four and a half hours from Jakarta, Indonesia.
00:49When they arrived in the Philippines,
00:51the court of Tarlac also granted him an arrest warrant
00:54for the case of graft and corruption.
00:56You have the right to remain silent.
00:57Everything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
01:01Guo underwent documentation and booking procedure,
01:04as well as medical examination.
01:06After the process, Guo was brought to the PNP Custodial Center.
01:10Here, he was faced by DILG Secretary Benhar Abalos Jr.
01:13and PNP Chief Police General Romel Marbil in the media.
01:17He was wearing a face mask,
01:18wearing an orange T-shirt with the words CIDG Detainee,
01:22and his hands were covered with a cloth.
01:26Guo's mood was very different.
01:29In his former happy days when he was in Indonesia,
01:32he was taking selfies, smiling, signing OK signs, and waving at the camera.
01:37He was only looking at the camera,
01:39because he was turning his back on almost the entire press con.
01:45Abalos needed to talk to him for a moment to face the cameras.
01:50His statement was also saved from the media's questions,
01:53that he was turning his back after his actions.
01:56I am confirming everything that the Secretary said,
01:59that I have death threats,
02:01and I asked for help from them,
02:03and I am also happy that I saw them.
02:05I feel safe. Thank you very much.
02:08Mayor Alice, is that why you are happy with the pictures,
02:13and the selfies with you,
02:16that you are always smiling,
02:18that you are less stressed in your situation?
02:22Yes.
02:25According to Abalos,
02:26the Indonesian authorities only gave him 24 hours in the Philippines
02:29to follow Alice Guo,
02:31and if not, he will be fired.
02:33That's the reason why he was looking for a chartered plane,
02:37which was borrowed by a friend.
02:39I have a friend who borrowed an airplane,
02:42just to do this in an easier way.
02:44Because we will catch up with what he is saying.
02:47And I repeat, when I woke up,
02:49the government did not spend anything on this.
02:52There is no guarantee that we will be able to bring Alice Guo home.
02:56None.
02:58If we go home now,
02:59and he is not with us,
03:00we will probably be forgiven.
03:03And yet, we took the risk.
03:05We went there,
03:08and we did what we should have done.
03:11This is what happened.
03:13We brought Alice Guo home to the Philippines.
03:18But before he flew back to the Philippines,
03:20Alice Guo complained about the death threats he received.
03:24I assured him, me and the chief,
03:28that he should not worry about the death threats.
03:31What's important is that you teach these big people.
03:36Give them all the names so that there will be justice here and this will end.
03:40The police is here to protect his life.
03:44According to the police,
03:45Guo will remain in the PNP Custodial Center.
03:48Here, he will undergo a booking procedure again.
03:51If the PNP approves...
03:52She will be treated as an ordinary detainee.
03:56Special treatment.
