00:00Yes, Patrick, in the Senate's hearing, not only on the issues of POGO in the country,
00:09Senator Arisa Hontiveros has a missing allegation against Michael Yang,
00:15the former economic advisor during the Duterte administration.
00:21Hontiveros presented a picture where Yang is with the so-called self-confessed spy,
00:29Michael Yang is a key actor in Chinese intelligence operations here.
00:37Michael Yang was involved in pharmacy and, if the reports are accurate, in drug operations here.
00:45Michael Yang, the economic advisor of the former president,
00:50has been charged with drug trafficking.
00:58The court did not allow the former Bambang-Tarlac mayor, Alice Guo, to attend the hearing.
01:04This is due to the simultaneous schedule of her hearing in court that was scheduled for today.
01:09The National Intelligence Coordinating Agency has leaked information about Guo.
01:15According to Nika, when asked if Guo is a spy or a foreign intelligence agent,
01:21they have not yet confirmed this.
01:23But what they can confirm based on the historical context is that Guo is an agent of influence.
01:46to produce results beneficial to the country whose services they benefit from.
01:55So to that effect, Madam Chair, that is applicable to her and therefore she may be classified as such.
02:02Patrick, Wang Fugui, the former cellmate of Mr. She,
02:07met with us via video conferencing.
02:13It is important that Mr. She can also speak because of the heavy information he holds.
02:20Mr. Wang, did you also mean that there are Filipinos working against the interests of the Philippines?
02:29Yes, that is correct.
02:31Based on the information that is provided by Mr. She, but of course we have to confirm.
02:37Do you have in the decrypted files the names of Filipino citizens?
02:42I apologize if I cannot provide this information because, again, this is information from Mr. She.
02:52Why is it important for governments like the Philippines to speak to Mr. She?
02:58The files that are in Mr. She's possession right now, they are really enormous.
03:04They are big, there are a lot.
03:06And for the countries who would like to advocate for peace and for other countries,
03:14maybe this will be very useful for them.
03:18Patrick, at this point, the hearing of the Senate is just over.
03:24As for the Pogo talks, it is expected that this will be their last hearing.
03:28Patrick, in the next step, the committee report will be made,
03:34the committee that investigates the Pogo talks in the country.
03:38Patrick?
03:39Thank you very much, Daniel Manalastas.
