00:00It is true that some Senators conducted an executive session on the hearing that discussed Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo.
00:07This is what Daniel Manalastas reported.
00:11After the report came out that Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo conducted a Senate Executive Session on the hearing,
00:18the Senators immediately denied it.
00:20According to Senator Rizal Tiveros, who is leading the Senate's investigation,
00:25their committee has no reason to believe that Guo will give factual, important, and expected information
00:34to convince them to agree to an executive session.
00:38He also denied admitting that he conducted a Senate Executive Session, even though the evidence was already there.
00:44Senator Joel Villanueva, although he was also included in the Executive Session,
00:48but he was reminded of what the former Mayor wanted to say.
00:52So, they must convince us, me personally,
00:58I must be convinced that there is bearing, that the information will be heavy.
01:04Yesterday, Guo wrote on a piece of paper who facilitated them to be allowed to sleep outside the country,
01:10but he did not make it public.
01:12Earlier, some Senators made a statement.
01:15It's a Chinese name, I'm not sure, I might be mistaken.
01:17But how many names did you write, sir?
01:19Just one, just one.
01:20He is a Chinese national, and allegedly, based on the reports that I have received,
01:28he fled the country, and he is now in Taiwan.
01:33I heard that he is the boss of all the bosses of Pogo.
01:37If you remember, what Alice Guo said,
01:40even though she facilitated his escape,
01:44she said that he said bad words.
01:49So, I asked her, if you said bad words to him, why did he let you escape?
01:56Why did he let you borrow money?
01:59So, my conclusion to that is,
02:01maybe,
02:03maybe that's why Alice Guo fled the country,
02:07maybe she is the one who facilitated his escape.
02:12Senator Estrada thinks that Guo's strategy is why he doesn't want to be detained in the Senate,
02:18even though his case is bailable.
02:20For now, Guo is in the PNP Custodial Center.
02:23But we will request the court for her to be under the custody of the Senate.
02:28Well, I cannot say that it's more comfortable there,
02:34because I've been there.
02:37Senate President Francis Codero doesn't believe in Guo's claim
02:41that there was no help to the Filipinos when he fled the country.
02:45Now, the leader of the Senate believes that the non-Filipinos who helped Guo should be punished.
02:51The continuation of the Senate hearing will be held next week.
