00:06because of their possible involvement in the crime.
00:09Among the accused, the receipt of construction materials for the pig farm of the Goh family
00:16named after Calugay.
00:18Ma'am Gonzales was present.
00:20The D-Aquafarm, Dong, Lixel, Alice, L-I-C, and Liceldo, Dong Goh, Dong, and Goh.
00:36You even defeated Dong.
00:39Among these businesses, Sual Pangasinan Mayor Liceldo Calugay was accused
00:44of having something to do with the name Alice Goh.
00:47Before this, the mayor denied that they have a relationship with Goh.
00:51They have pictures together that were shown to the Senate earlier,
00:55including the one in Victory Caravan,
00:56where Calugay wore Goh's campaign shirt,
00:59and there are also couple shirts.
01:01Mayor, according to Goh Huaping,
01:05you are just friends.
01:08Is that how you will characterize your relationship?
01:12Yes, Madam Chair, we are just friends.
01:14Just friends?
01:15Yes, Your Honor.
01:17We are not friends.
01:18We are just friends, Your Honor.
01:20Despite the denial, Calugay admitted that he gave flowers to Goh sometimes.
01:25You gave flowers on February 14, right?
01:28No, Your Honor.
01:29I brought an invitation to the House of Representatives,
01:35and of course, Your Honor,
01:37I will also give flowers to the mayor,
01:39so I also gave flowers.
01:43I give flowers to many people, Your Honor,
01:46on February 14.
01:47I don't care if you have a romantic relationship.
01:52We are interested in the possibility of your criminal relationship.
01:57Calugay's story.
01:59Goh met them in 2016 when he was looking for a pork supplier,
02:03but they don't have a business or bank account together.
02:07That's why the Senate approved the receipt of construction materials
02:11for Goh's family's pig farm,
02:13which is named after Calugay.
02:14The story is,
02:16Mayor Alice called
02:19to ask where she could buy cheap construction supplies
02:23because our family business is construction supplies.
02:27I clarified this receipt, Your Honor.
02:33It was put in my name
02:37because they don't know Mayor Alice Goh.
02:41It's not true that
02:42by December, they already forgot Goh Huaping,
02:46that's why they need to give the receipt in your name.
02:49Madam sir, we don't have a single business partner.
02:53You are under oath.
02:54If you keep on lying before this committee,
02:59I might force to cite you in contempt.
03:04Your girlfriend already lied.
03:06You still lied.
03:08There is also information that reached Hontiveros
03:11that Goh hid in a property owned by Calugay
03:14before he left the Philippines.
03:16Calugay has no connection to this.
03:18Goh's counter affidavit,
03:22even though it's not in the Philippines,
03:23is being used by his secretary, Cath Salazar.
03:26Goh called her to find a notary
03:30and to get a document from her house in Bambantarlac.
03:33Who took the document?
03:36It's in the drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
03:39She said that she will attach it to the last page of her affidavit.
03:45Did you know that Goh Huaping is no longer in the Philippines?
03:48No, Your Honor.
03:50You, Ms. G, did you know that Mayor Alice is no longer in the Philippines?
03:54No, Your Honor.
03:56I'm not in a position to ask where she is.
03:59But did you know that she was preparing to leave
04:04before that day?
04:05No, Your Honor.
04:06In the house in Inicadante,
04:08the person who contacted the notary
04:10personally asked Goh to bring the document.
04:14When he returned it, because there was no signature,
04:16the secretary went to the van.
04:18One of Goh's accomplices got out of the window and fought.
04:22When the secretary returned from the van,
04:24the document already had a signature.
04:26Did you sign the affidavit?
04:28Because we know that Goh Huaping is no longer in the Philippines.
04:32No, Your Honor.
04:34Goh said earlier that he already signed the signature page of the affidavit
04:38on the first week of July.
04:40I signed the last page of the document.
04:43Where did you sign it?
04:45I signed it before I left.
04:47Who prepared this page for you to sign?
04:53Sen, there was a case filed against me that invoked my right.
04:57Goh's lawyers also did not know that he is no longer in the Philippines
05:01when they filed the counter affidavit.
05:03They also did not personally show up
05:06because Goh has a death threat.
05:08Atorney Elmer Galicia, the notary, continued.
05:11Atorney Galicia lied.
05:14Because it was not signed in front of Atorney Galicia.
05:17Definitely, he lied and he should also be charged by the DOJ.
05:21I am a victim.
05:24I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
05:27The committee also dismissed Goh's former business partner, JP Samson,
05:32after he did not accept the invitation of the Senate.
05:34For GMA Integrated News,
05:36Mav Gonzales, for Tutok, 24 hours.
