00:00Senator Riza Hontiveros wrote to the Regional Trial Court of Tarlac and to the PNP Custodial Center
00:06so that the former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo can be brought to the Senate hearing on Monday.
00:13That is what Daniel Manalastas wrote.
00:17Senator Riza Hontiveros went ahead following the events in the custody of Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo.
00:23Guo should have already turned over to the Senate
00:26when she just finished the process of NBI or PNP.
00:29That is what was discussed and that is the right process
00:33because the original arrest warrant came from the Senate against the former mayor.
00:37The Mayor who was arrested in the middle of the warrant of arrest that was issued to him by the court did not hesitate.
00:44And he will remain in the PNP Custodial Center.
00:48It means that he wants to be jailed in the PNP more than in the Senate.
00:53We need to ask why?
00:55Why does she want to be in a jail more than in the Senate detention facility?
01:00It is also clear to the Supreme Court in the case of Binay v. Sandigan Bayan
01:05that criminal cases against municipal mayors fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Sandigan Bayan.
01:14Why did the Tarlac Court issue a suit?
01:17And why was she brought to Tarlac?
01:19The big question now is if Alice Guo will be brought to the Senate hearing.
01:23Her lawyer answered,
01:25Of course she should be brought to the Senate hearing.
01:28But the question is, will the court allow her?
01:31It depends if the court will allow her.
01:33There are witnesses who were sentenced by the Senate but were not brought to the court.
01:39It depends on her.
01:42David also explained that the court has a wrong jurisdiction with Guo.
01:46No matter what, she needs to go to the court.
01:49But Hontiveros confirmed that she already wrote to the Tarlac Regional Trial Court
01:53and to the PNP's Custodial Center
01:56so that Guo could be brought to the hearing on Monday.
01:59Meanwhile, Guo's camp responded after the former mayor was beaten online
02:05in the images of her appearing to be happy.
02:07Do they not want her to be happy? Do they want her to be sad?
02:11Because she had a lot of worries about her security.
02:15What are her worries? She is protected by the best security agency in the Philippines.

02:24And for the latest news,
02:27the Tarlac Regional Trial Court Branch 109 allowed Senator Rizong Hontiveros
02:34to bring dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to the Senate hearing on Monday, September 9.
02:40The court also ordered the PNP Custodial Center
02:43to bring Guo to the hearing.
