00:00Later in the afternoon, Sactal will read in Valenzuela Regional Trial Court
00:04the dismissal of Mayor Alice Guo for the Graff case.
00:07Before this, Guo also faced the hearing of the Quad Committee of the Camera
00:11regarding the operation of the illegal fireworks.
00:13Breaking news, Edwin Chino Gaston.
00:19Are you Chinese? Don't you eat Hopia?
00:21I'm Filipino.
00:22Why do Filipinos eat Hopia?
00:26I don't eat Hopia. Thank you.
00:29This is the answer of Alice Guo
00:31when she was asked to eat Hopia
00:33during the hearing of the Quad Committee
00:35of the Camera regarding the illegal fireworks.
00:37The questions were asked again
00:39if Guo is really a Filipino,
00:41and also about her escape to the country.
00:43She was also shown the class pictures
00:45from the report of GMA Integrated News
00:47last July
00:49regarding those who said
00:51their former mayor was their classmate.
00:53Can you please enlighten us
00:55who is in this picture?
00:57For that question,
00:59I think I cannot answer.
01:01I invoke my right against self-incrimination
01:03since I have a pending case
01:05about the citizenship.
01:07But would you agree with me if I would say
01:09you look like the person in the picture.
01:11Ma'am, I will not confirm.
01:15Also in this picture,
01:17it was taken from a Chinese newspaper
01:19when she won the mayor of Bamban.
01:21At first, Guo said that her father
01:23was being greeted by the Chinese community
01:25because her father is Chinese.
01:27But it was different when a congressman
01:29asked
01:31other Chinese people.
01:33And according to them,
01:35the exact translation of
01:37these characters
01:39goes like this.
01:41Congratulations
01:43to the first Chinese mayor
01:45Alice Leal Guo
01:47of Bamban.
01:49Ma'am, there is no such statement.
01:51At first, Guo said
01:53Your Honor, I am not sure
01:55about the statements.
01:57I think it's better
01:59if we get a translator
02:01for that.
02:03My understanding is that
02:05she is congratulating
02:07me,
02:09my father.
02:11Guo repeatedly answered
02:13the questions about
02:15the relationship with POGO
02:17and the associated involvement
02:19in money laundering and other crimes.
02:21You answered that you went to Malaysia.
02:23My question is,
02:25why did you invoke the right
02:27against self-incrimination?
02:29Now, I am asking, why did you invoke it?
02:31Now, I am asking, why did you invoke it?
02:33I understand my rights now, Your Honor.
02:35What?
02:37I understand my rights now, Your Honor.
02:39After numerous hearings
02:41in the Senate,
02:43you only understood your rights now?
02:45Meanwhile, you are invoking
02:47it a thousand times?
02:49Don't make us fools, Your Honor.
02:51Because of the repeated
02:53non-answering of the questions
02:55of the camera, Guo was given notice.
02:57We will cite you in contempt.
02:59You are now detained in Camp Cramé
03:01where in fact, I will ask
03:03the PNP and
03:05the court
03:08why you were granted to be
03:10detained in
03:12Philippine Cusodyal
03:14Center.
03:16This will be your last warning.
03:34We are investigating 24
03:36former chiefs of the PNP.
03:38We are not happy with what he said
03:40since he is under oath.
03:42He has to tell us because it affects the whole organization.
03:44Who is the
03:46PNP official
03:48that you remember
03:50who already gave you a courtesy call as a mayor?
03:52I remember
03:54he already visited the office
03:56PD.
03:58Provincial Director.
04:00Who is the
04:02Provincial Director that you refer to?
04:06The one that is now
04:08PD. I forgot the name.
04:10Mr. Chair,
04:12I'm willing to tell the truth
04:14as long as you believe me.
04:16Don't think that I'm lying.
04:18I will tell you all the truth in the Executive Session.
04:20Truth? Where?
04:22Where is the truth?
04:24On how
04:26I was removed.
04:28The former senator and
04:30former PNP chief, Ping Lakson,
04:32has doubts. Villanueva only said
04:34that the Pogos have a protector
04:36the former chief of police.
04:38Even so, he said,
04:40the information still needs to be verified.
04:42We are still trying to get the statement
04:44of the former PNP chief.
