00:00After 4 months of searching by the authorities of the Philippines,
00:08in different countries,
00:10outside this townhouse in Tangerang City, Jakarta,
00:15they arrived in Indonesia.
00:17The Indonesian National Police and Interpol
00:22found one person here in the Philippines.
00:25Alice! Alice!
00:29The woman wearing a sleeping mask,
00:32who was invited by the authorities for their arrest.
00:35Let me change my clothes, let me change my clothes.
00:38There's no one else,
00:39but the Mayor of Bambanparla, who is being harassed and beaten up,
00:44who was involved in the illegal operation of POGO,
00:47or the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators,
00:50was searched for several weeks here in the Philippines.
00:55Her name is Alice Guo.
01:01But wait, first of all,
01:03how did she leave the Philippines?
01:06And why did she arrive in Indonesia?
01:09We are being arrested.
01:10Can we be completely clear about her relationship
01:15with the illegal operations of POGO?
01:21Where were you born?
01:24I grew up in a farm.
01:26In May, when she was last seen by the public,
01:29Alice Guo,
01:30whose real name is Guo Hua-Ping,
01:35a Chinese national.
01:37Since then,
01:38she has become infamous in the Senate
01:41for her involvement in the illegal POGO operation in Bamban.
01:45Because of this,
01:46because of this,
01:47on July 13,
01:48the Senate issued an arrest order against her.
01:51But Guo Hua-Ping,
01:52no show!
01:53Just this August,
01:55Senator Risa Ontiveros confirmed
01:58that Guo Hua-Ping
01:59had already left the country
02:01when she did not go through immigration.
02:05I am now in receipt of information
02:07that this person was already in fact out of the country.
02:13In the picture released by the POGO,
02:15or the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
02:18we can see that Guo Hua-Ping
02:19arrived at the airport of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia
02:23on July 18
02:24when she traveled from the Philippines to Malaysia.
02:27She went from Malaysia to Singapore
02:29until she crossed over to Indonesia on August 18.
02:33Despite this,
02:34her camp stated
02:36that she did not leave the country.
02:38Thank you very much, Philippines.
02:40On August 21,
02:41the Department of Foreign Affairs reported
02:43to Interpol
02:44the Philippine passport of Guo
02:46and her relatives.
02:48From what Indonesia has presented to us,
02:51they arrived in Jakarta
02:53here at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport
02:56on August 20.
02:57So it was all caught on CCTV,
03:00including the driving of the car
03:01and then they checked in here at the hotel.
03:03If you look at these reports,
03:06she traveled all over Indonesia.
03:09We have a lot, right?
03:10Until her two companions were arrested
03:13for escaping from the Philippines.
03:15Cassandra Lee Ong,
03:17a businessman,
03:18was arrested by the Whirlwind Corporation
03:20as a stakeholder of Ipinasarang Pogo
03:23in Pora in Pampanga,
03:24in Lucky South 99.
03:26And Sheila Guo,
03:27who was the first sister of Alice.
03:30But she denied it
03:32in the Senate investigation.
03:34Alice,
03:35what do you call her?
03:36Alice.
03:38Oh, no.
03:41In the Senate hearing,
03:42Sheila admitted that she was with Alice
03:45and one of her siblings,
03:47Wesley,
03:48when they escaped from the Philippines.
03:50But they didn't go to any airport
03:53but took a boat.
04:07Fishing ship
04:08because you saw fish?
04:10Snake,
04:11the last fish.
04:13Then that's it.
04:14You came to Malaysia
04:15through that boat,
04:16the big one.
04:17The Senators are not convinced about this.
04:19You, Mayor Alice Guo,
04:22are used to a comfortable life.
04:24What I know about fishing vessels
04:26is that it's not comfortable.
04:28This is the low season.
04:30The waters are very choppy.
04:31That's why we have doubts
04:33about your habit
04:35of riding a boat.
04:36The documents they showed
04:37are also doubtful.
04:39The problem is
04:40the stamps don't match
04:42with the real stamps
04:44if you're really going to go to Sabah.
04:46According to these stamps,
04:47July 18,
04:48or some read it as July 19,
04:50you entered Malaysia
04:52but via Kuala Lumpur.
04:54Because that kind of stamp
04:56will only be stamped on your passport
04:58if you're from KL.
04:59So,
05:00you should go to Kuala Lumpur
05:02instead of Sabah.
05:03But your story,
05:04from then until now,
05:06from the Philippines
05:07to Sabah,
05:08did you go to Kuala Lumpur
05:09before going to Sabah?
05:10Where is Kuala Lumpur?
05:12How many times did you ride an airplane?
05:14From Malaysia
05:16to Singapore.
05:18Alice, Alice.
05:20Alice, Alice.
05:21You just follow us, okay?
05:22Okay, let me change.
05:25Until September 4,
05:27the authorities in the Philippines
05:28received information
05:30that Alice Guo
05:32was already taken by the police in Indonesia.
05:35According to the Indonesian police,
05:37the key to cornering Alice Guo
05:40was the SIM card
05:42that Guo left
05:44in his hotel room.
05:46He had three cell phone numbers,
05:48one was an active number
05:50and his location was tracked there.
05:53Where did you go?
05:55Your Honor, I don't know.
05:56It's like a TV series
05:58that the public followed
05:59the rumors about Alice Guo
06:01when he was caught
06:02in the illegal POGO operation
06:04in Tarlac, Bambang.
06:05The land was built
06:07by the POGO hub
06:08ZUN U1 Technology
06:10in the compound of Baufu Land
06:12named after him.
06:14The electric bills
06:15and then the maintenance bills,
06:18even the land titles,
06:19he really had an actual hand
06:21in the POGO operation.
06:23The POGO hub in Bambang
06:25was the source of the rumor
06:27that he worked here in the Philippines
06:29because they thought
06:31their work here was legal.
06:33That's why they were
06:34accused of fraud or scam.
06:37Because of this,
06:38the POGO hub in Bambang
06:39was involved in the cases of
06:41cybercrime, internet fraud,
06:43torture, and human trafficking.
06:50The raids there
06:51were followed by raids
06:53in other POGO hubs in the Philippines.
06:59Get out! Get out!
07:04One of the last raids of the NBI
07:07was the POGO hub in a hotel
07:09in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
07:11According to their information
07:13from the Embassy of Indonesia,
07:15they were also involved in
07:17love and cryptocurrency scams.
07:20Caught in the act,
07:21we saw what appeared to be
07:23Chinese nationals
07:24doing scamming activities.
07:25There were laptops everywhere.
07:26There were computers
07:28and there were laptops
07:29and they had scripts
07:30that they followed.
07:32In the middle of the investigation,
07:34the operatives
07:35caught a woman
07:37carrying a box
07:38that contained
07:408 million pesos.
07:46We will also build up
07:47the anti-money laundering case.
07:49This will be used as evidence
07:51if the case is filed.
07:53Here, 169 foreign nationals were rescued.
07:57Most of them were Chinese
07:59and Indonesians.
08:01They were rescued in Indonesia.
08:02They were told they were
08:03call center agents.
08:04When they arrived here,
08:05that was their job.
08:14According to the initial investigation
08:16of the NBI and PAO,
08:18the illegal POGO hub
08:20in Lapu-Lapu City
08:21may be connected to Lucky South 99
08:24where SIGWO is not connected.
08:27It was discovered that
08:28some of the POGO hubs in Cebu
08:31escaped from POGO hubs
08:33in Tarlac and Pampanga
08:35before it was raided by the authorities.
08:40On June 8,
08:41they escaped from Clark
08:42to Lapu-Lapu.
08:43They said 300,
08:44but we only got 169.
08:46The 88 Chinese nationals
08:48rescued in the POGO raid in Cebu
08:51were deported by PAO
08:53and the Bureau of Immigration
08:54this Friday.
09:00While others are currently
09:01in the PAO's detention facility
09:03in Pasay City,
09:04one of them is our countryman.
09:07Let's hide him under the name Karen.
09:09Karen used to work
09:11in the POGO hub in Porak, Pampanga.
09:14There was a tip,
09:15that's why we were able to escape there.
09:17Then we stayed in a hotel.
09:19After five days,
09:20we moved to Cebu.
09:21Karen's job in POGO
09:23was to give orders.
09:24I was the one who bought
09:26what the staff needed.
09:28Because the foreign staff
09:30were not allowed to go out.
09:31I resigned until September 5.
09:36I already booked a ticket.
09:37I was supposed to go back to Manila today.
09:40That's why I was able to get a train.
09:42I was ready to help you.
09:44Boy,
09:45he's not a real name.
09:47He was just given an order
09:49to deliver the package
09:50to the hotel
09:51when he was caught by the operatives.
09:53He was given a box
09:55that contained the passports
09:57of the Indonesian nationals.
09:59He just told me
10:00to deliver the package.
10:02I asked him what package it was.
10:05He said it was just food.
10:06When I delivered it,
10:08I was arrested by the police.
10:10I was sent there.
10:12Meanwhile,
10:13after the negotiation,
10:14Siguo was allowed to return to the Philippines.
10:17Before his flight to Manila,
10:19he had to face a press con.
10:21But he saved in answering.
10:23Ma'am,
10:24by boat or by plane?
10:26I'm ready to go for an interview.
10:29Some even accused Siguo
10:31of arresting the authorities
10:33who seemed to be the accomplice
10:35who posed in front of the camera.
10:37Even some of his arresting officers
10:39took selfies with him.
10:42We expect him to look sad,
10:45remorseful,
10:46or regretful.
10:47Good.
10:48I'm good, yeah.
10:49We also expect him to be consensual.
10:51The truth is,
10:52those who accused him
10:53seemed to be on vacation.
10:55You're being escorted back to your country.
10:57This is not a vacation.
10:59Hi, Ma'am Alice.
11:00Hi.
11:01This is an effort from our government
11:04to make a public servant
11:06answer for his crimes.
11:08The implication of this
11:09is that he doesn't take his cases seriously.
11:12We want answers,
11:13not a photo shoot.
11:15After he was able to hide from the law,
11:17Alice Guo held a fan meet
11:20for his arrest.
11:22I didn't know he was posing for photos.
11:25I have no idea that he's making faces.
11:28Even if you say he's a public figure,
11:30in order to boost the morale of his followers,
11:32those who believe in him,
11:34you need to have to give a jolly expression.
11:38There are also some who claim
11:40that there's a special treatment for him,
11:43especially when he was brought here by the Philippines
11:45to board another chartered flight.
11:48Remember, I'm chasing the time.
11:50If I can't go to Rumbayuan,
11:52Alice will be gone.
11:54It's a waste.
11:55There's no special treatment for Alice Guo.
11:57When he landed here,
11:58Alice Guo was handcuffed.
12:00He was beaten.
12:01Aside from the cases of graft and corruption,
12:04Guo will also face a series of cases.
12:07He is expected to face the Senate again
12:10this Monday, September 9.
12:12I expect that moving forward,
12:14these two hearings will go to
12:17piece together the story
12:19of how Alice Guo really escaped
12:21from here in the Philippines.
12:23Who are the Philippine authorities
12:25who are either colluding
12:28or paying to make Alice Guo escape?
12:32It's not only embarrassing,
12:33it's also sad.
12:34The Philippine authorities have been looking for
12:36a few months now,
12:38but within a few days or a few weeks,
12:41the law enforcement agencies of other countries
12:43will catch him.
12:44Nothing has changed in our defense.
12:46Nothing has changed in their position.
12:49So I'm very confident that
12:51at the end of the day,
12:53we will bring out the real justice.
12:57It will happen.
12:58It's just a sacrifice.
12:59But the real brains,
13:01the head of this criminal organization,
13:03we will not be able to get it.
13:05Their crime against the country is big.
13:07But obviously,
13:08the crime against the country is bigger
13:10because their crime against the country
13:12is a violation of our work
13:14as civil servants.
13:16Many have already believed
13:18in the ongoing investigation of the case
13:21against Alice Guo
13:22on how the online casinos
13:24were made a front
13:26for organized crime.
13:28How a mayor was accused of
13:30protecting the criminals
13:32and syndicates of human trafficking.
13:35Did you get it, sir?
13:36Yes, sir.
13:39How his documents
13:41and personality
13:43were manipulated
13:45to show
13:47how big and deep
13:50crime and corruption
13:52are in our country.
13:54Alice! Alice!
13:55Alice! Alice!
14:09Please do hit the bell button
14:11for our latest updates.
