00:00So I looked at my office and I looked at these companies at the time.
00:06And I looked at how many money sent to Cali 88 at Chinese state-owned enterprises.
00:15One is the China National Township Enterprises.
00:21Base po sa research ng opisina ko, dating, quote, directly under the Ministry of Agriculture, close quote, sa China.
00:32At naging isang, quote, large state-owned agricultural enterprise under the supervision of the State-Owned Asset Supervision and Administration
00:42Commission of the State Council, close quote.
00:46At sa public profiles po ng China National Township Enterprises na yun, binibida nung kumpanya na sila daw ay, quote,
00:56committed to serving the implementation of the country's Belt and Road Initiative and Foreign Policy.
01:03Yun namang isa pa po na pinakita kahapon, Beijing Zhenwei Fang Food Company.
01:10Ayon sa open source research, pagmamayari po yan, yung Beijing Zhenwei Fang Food Company, pagmamayari siya ng Xinjiang Fruit Industry
01:24Group, na nabanggit mismo sa company materials.
01:35ng Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group ng Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group ngayong 2026.
01:41Kumpirmado din po itong Xinjiang Fruit ay Series A Investor sa Beijing Zhenwei Fang.
01:48Mayroon din, mayroon din Strategic Cooperation Agreement, itong dalawang kumpanya, yung Beijing at saka yung Xinjiang mula pa 2019.
01:59Bakit po itong mahalaga, ah, Atty. Buenaventura?
02:02Dahil itong Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group ay hindi ordinaryong kumpanya.
02:08It's a Chinese state-owned enterprise.
02:12It advances the interests of the Chinese Communist Party.
02:16Sa mismong corporate governance structure ng Xinjiang Fruit, may institutional Chinese Communist Party organization na naka-embed.
02:26It has its own Chinese Communist Party Committee, Party Committee Organization Department, at 11 subordinate subcommittees o party branches.
02:38Lumalabas rin po na yung chairman ng Beijing Zhenwei Fang,
02:42ay miyembro ng District Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference o CPPCC.
02:50Ayon sa isang US Economic and Security Report,
02:54delegates to the CPPCC serve as proxies for Chinese Communist Party interests,
03:00and they frequently act as interlocutors with foreign government officials, businesses, and academic institutions.
03:09Sa Canada naman, sinabi na,
03:12the premier overt United Front Organization is the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
03:19At sa isang report naman, sa Australia, parte ng key united front groups and events linked to foreign interference,
03:28ang CPPCC, at nilarawan nito bilang peak united front forum.
03:34So, ang tanong ko po, Atty. Buenaventura,
03:37yung mga ganitong linkages ba ay tinitignan ng AMLAC?
03:43Your Honor, apologies po. At this point po, yung na-cover po nung subina,
03:51it's only on the records. Apologies po, hindi po makatulong sa talong po ninyo,
03:56but I'm able to answer that po at this point, Your Honor.
03:58No apologies necessary. But as head of the AMLAC Secretariat,
04:03would you say na cause for concern yung ganyang mga transaksyon under these circumstances?
04:09Your Honor, I note po, I have to review po yung binanggit nyo po,
04:16hindi ko po nakuha lahat po, Your Honor.
04:18But we take note naman po yung nabanggit po ninyo.
