00:00Meanwhile, let's talk about the Senate hearing on the operation of illegal fireworks and we have Mav Gonzalez on the spot. Mav.
00:08Tony Yang, the brother of the former presidential economic advisor Michael Yang, was arrested last Thursday.
00:17Senators questioned why he used different names.
00:21Aside from his Chinese name, Yang Jianxin, he also used Antonio Maestrado Lip for his driver's license, TIN and gun permits.
00:30He also has a Philippine birth certificate.
00:32Yang admitted that he's Chinese national and had a late registration of the Philippine birth certificate in 2004.
00:38Yang said that his grandfather arranged the documents because he wanted to establish a business here in the Philippines and it's easier if he's Filipino.
00:46Now, Yang said that he doesn't have a business connected to FOGO, but he admitted that he had a transaction with the FOGO company, Jushue.
00:54He rented a condo unit here.
00:56Senator Rizal Tiveros showed Oruan, a service provider in FOGO, where President Yang is listed.
01:03Yang said that when he applied for a business permit, he just put his name there.
01:08Tiveros showed Yang's photos with some high-ranking PNP officials.
01:14Former PNP Chief Benjamin Acorda was the original director of PNP Region 10.
01:20Yang said that they regularly help the PNP because of security and also because they have businesses.
01:27In another photo shown by Tiveros, former PNP Chief Acorda is Sual Mayor Don Calugay and West Ligo.
01:35Earlier, it was revealed that Sual Pangasinancy Acorda was the chief of police.
01:41But to be clear Connie, no one said that Acorda, the PNP chief who ran away and was in Paola, left.
01:49Acorda is still not released and he's not invited to the hearing.
01:53For now, Connie, the Senate lifted the contempt order against Sheila Goh and transferred her case to the Bureau of Immigration.
02:01Thank you very much Ma'am Gonzalez.
