00:00The last hearing of the Senate was not held due to the issue of POGO in Alisguo due to conflict of schedule.
00:07His court hearing was held simultaneously with Daniel Manalastas of PTV in Balitang, Pambansa.
00:14Daniel.
00:16Yes, Alan. The hearing of the Senate about the POGO issues in the country is being continued.
00:21The court did not allow the former Pambansa Mayor Alisguo to attend.
00:26This is due to the simultaneous schedule of his hearing in the court.
00:29It was also held by Alan today.
00:32In the hearing, Senator Risa Hontiveros, our economic advisor during the Duterte administration,
00:40who is Michael Yang, was the one who presented Hontiveros with a picture
00:45where Yang is with the so-called self-confessed spy, Xie Zhijiang.
00:53Michael Yang is a key actor in Chinese intelligence operations here.
00:59Michael Yang was involved in pharmacy and, if the reports are accurate, in drug operations here.
01:06Michael Yang, the economic advisor of the former president.
01:11We were already under the law, but we were still under surveillance.
01:15Meanwhile, the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency has been spreading information about Gu.
01:22Ms. Nica said, in response to the question if Gu is a spy or a foreign intelligence agent,
01:28they have not yet been able to prove it, but what they can confirm based on the historical context
01:33is that he is an agent of influence, that is, Gu.
01:38What is applicable and on the part of Ms. Gua Ping is that she uses her influence,
01:48her stature or her position to influence public opinion or decision-making to produce results
01:55beneficial to the country whose services they benefit from.
02:03So to that effect, Madam Chair, that is applicable to her and therefore, she may be classified as such.
02:17Thank you very much, Daniel Manalastas.
