00:00Tony Yang, the brother of the former presidential economic advisor Michael Yang,
00:05admitted that he was born in China even though he has a birth certificate that was issued in the Philippines.
00:10Alice Guo, on the other hand, admitted that she was also just a victim and said that she is ready to sing
00:15about who is really the most guilty in the illegal Pogo operations.
00:19Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:21In her statement to the Senate regarding the illegal Pogo operations,
00:28Ms. Bamban Mayor Alice Guo admitted that
00:31Your Honor, I am not a mastermind. I can say that I am just a victim.
00:36I think after a long investigation, the committee already knows,
00:41especially by our Madam Chairman, who is really at the back of everything.
00:47Once again, she asked for an Executive Session.
00:50Are you willing to say who is the most guilty?
00:54Yes, Your Honor.
00:56Ms. Guo said that she will take care of her own safety.
00:59That is why she did not mention her name.
01:02She also wrote down the name of the person who helped her escape,
01:07who was initially portrayed by some senators as one of the leaders of the illegal Pogo activities in the country.
01:14The Executive Session went on for a few minutes because the senators still had a session.
01:20But Senator J.V. Ejercito said that he has a plan for a short discussion.
01:26It will continue next week and Guo will remember what happened.
01:31The relationship between Guo and Suwal Mayor Don Calugay, a former police officer,
01:40Calugay explained about his possessions,
01:44especially the Happy Penguin Resort, where it is possible that Guo hid before he escaped.
01:50Senator J.V. Estrada said that his possessions increased when he became mayor,
01:56which Calugay denied.
01:58Calugay also denied that he has bank accounts with hundreds of millions of pesos in it.
02:04Calugay signed a waiver to open his bank accounts.
02:09Senator Riza Ontiveros showed a picture of Calugay and the former PNP chief, Benjamin Acorda.
02:20We were shocked, Your Honor, because he was the former chief of police of Suwal.
02:26Brother Alice, Wesley, was also in the picture.
02:30He also wanted to see the PNP chief.
02:35Why did he want to see the PNP chief?
02:37Nothing, Your Honor, I just joined.
02:41I have no idea, I just saw the picture.
02:43In another picture, Tony Yang is with Acorda.
02:48He is the brother of the former presidential economic advisor, Michael Yang,
02:52who is now in jail.
02:54Acorda was not convicted, but when he received the statement,
02:58his answer was that he loves the country and the PNP.
03:02What he did was what a Filipino should do as a police officer.
03:08Tony Yang said,
03:09We get to meet these officials especially when we need some help for the safety of our community.
03:17How long have you known the former PNP chief?
03:23Because in this picture, it's an older picture.
03:29He was the regional director.
03:31Yes, when he was still in Cagayan as the director, we know each other.
03:36Yang is a Chinese national,
03:38but he also has a Philippine birth certificate.
03:42With the help of a translator,
03:44Tony Yang told us that he went to the Philippines first in 1998
03:48when his grandfather asked him to do business here.
03:51He did not know how to speak Tagalog or English.
03:55Where were you born?
03:56I was born in China, in Fujian.
04:01How do you spell that?
04:02Fujian, and that means in Fujian province.
04:05Place of birth, Misamis Oriental.
04:08And you just told us that you were born in Jinjiang, in Fujian province.
04:13So, a lie on the birth certificate,
04:16another proof that your birth certificate is irregular.
04:23My grandfather who helped me come up with this birth certificate,
04:27and I'm not sure maybe he did this for the convenience of the business here.
04:31Yang Jansing is his name in the Alien Certificate of Registration,
04:36but Antonio Maestrado Lim is his name in the Driver's License, TIN, and God Permit.
04:42He said that there are businesses in rice, copper, and gold.
04:46No, not now.
04:48Right now, I don't have any related business with the Pogo.
04:53Right now, how about before?
04:55Before, I had a transaction with a Pogo company for renting out a condo unit for them.
05:05The name that I had a transaction with is Tiosui.
05:09Senator Rizal Tiveros asked him about the Pogo Service Provider, Orul,
05:14where President Yang was listed.
05:25He was also listed as a member of the Philippine Sand Jet Steel.
05:28It's supposed to be a steel plant, but it looks like there are Pogo-like facilities inside.
05:35There are dorm-style facilities.
05:38There's a restricted area that's not allowed for Filipinos.
05:43There's also a torturer.
05:47How many foreign nationals does this facility have?
05:52During their heyday, we're looking at around 2,000 Pogo workers,
05:58but now, ma'am, it's less than 300.
06:03That's the Intel report that I received.
06:06And of course, the documents that we saw, it all points to a Pogo operation.
06:11He was asked if he's close to former President Rodrigo Duterte.
06:15You're Duterte, right?
06:18I am not very close with the former President Duterte, and I don't have contact with him.
06:24How did you meet the former President?
06:26The former President Duterte, he went to Cagayan,
06:30and we had a meeting with the Chinese business groups,
06:34and that's why we were able to meet him, and we had a photo with him.
06:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your eyewitness.
06:44The Philippine Navy continues to guard the West Philippine Sea,
06:47even though it has more than 251 Chinese vessels,
06:52since the AFB started monitoring.
06:54The Navy also called the Chinese helicopter unprofessional,
06:58which was attached to the Panatagsyol.
07:02Witness, Chino Gaston.
07:05You are endangering the safety of our crew.
07:08According to the Philippine Navy, the Chinese helicopter was made dangerous
07:12when the PANATAGSYOL was attached to the BIFAR,
07:15which patrols the Bajo de Masinloc, or Panatagsyol.
07:19They are unsafe maneuvers, they are called unprofessional.
07:24We leave it up to the BIFAR to issue the appropriate official statement of that.
07:28But again, actions like this have no place in the aviation industry.
07:34In the latest monitoring of the Philippine Navy,
07:3612 Chinese ships were spotted in the Bajo de Masinloc,
07:40but there were more in Ayunginsol, where the BRP Sierra Madre crashed.
07:4572 Chinese vessels were in Ayunginsol in total,
07:49from the previous 7 Chinese militia vessels there, it reached 62.
07:55Our soldiers in the BRP Sierra Madre have high morale,
08:00they are used to the numbers around them, and they are happy to perform their mandate.
08:05But more were spotted in Escoda Shoal, where the BRP Teresa Magbanua was forced to leave.
08:1216 China Coast Guard and 55 Chinese militia vessels were watching.
08:17The Chinese Navy warships became 11 from the previous 4 only.
08:22In total, from September 17 to 23, 251 Chinese vessels were spotted in different parts of the West Philippine Sea,
08:30the most since the Philippine Navy started monitoring.
08:34This is the biggest increase.
08:36From 157, it went down a bit, then it went up to 251.
08:41For whatever reason, I don't want to speculate on that,
08:44we continue monitoring, we continue performing our mandate.
08:47But this doesn't mean that China has already controlled Escoda Shoal.
08:52And we have to continue pushing back against this because the international law is behind us.
08:57The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
09:02The only thing necessary to legitimize the presence of the PLA in the West Philippine Sea
09:09is for the Philippine instrumentality in the maritime domain to stop performing its mandate.
09:15The strengthening of the Philippine military continues.
09:18Earlier, two fast attack interdiction craft from Israel arrived that can destroy missiles.
09:25Designed for high speed operations featuring advanced missile systems and sophisticated onboard technology
09:32which enhances the Philippine Navy's capability to conduct rapid and effective maritime interdiction operations.
09:39The arrival of these vessels underscores the continued modernization of the Philippine Navy
09:44At the Quad Leaders Meeting in America,
09:46the leaders of Japan, India, and Australia were together
09:49when US President Joe Biden mentioned the issue in the South China Sea.
09:54China continues to behave aggressively, testing us all across the region.
09:58And it's true in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, South Asia, and the Taiwan Straits.
10:06In response to this by the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
10:08America should stop its use of force against China.
10:14For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chiro Gaston, your witness.
10:25From Ilo Ilo, with love.
10:27Good evening to all of you in a gastronomy festival in Malaysia.

10:48Sky's the limit for a French athlete who managed to ride a motocross and paragliding together.
10:55This is the first ride and fly in the French Alps in history.
11:00Tom Paches, a five-time X Games gold medalist, spent more than two years preparing for the stunt.
11:08He reached a speed of 80 km per hour and peaked at almost 100 km per hour before landing.
11:16He was the one who designed the sail suspension system that he built manually.
