00:00The much-anticipated return to the Senate to answer a bevy of questions from Senators
00:05did actually happen earlier today.
00:08However, perhaps much to the disappointment of lawmakers, dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice
00:13Guo remained elusive, prompting Senators to use an available sanction against those who
00:18do not cooperate with an ongoing probe.
00:21Daniel Manalastas has the details.
00:26Wearing a vest, Kevlar helmet, and heavy guarded on all sides is how dismissed Mayor Alice
00:31Guo arrived in the Senate this morning.
00:37Senators tried so hard squeeze out any helpful or meaningful information on Guo's identity,
00:44but she kept dodging the questions.
00:46Senators tried their luck to make her admit she is also Guo Huaping, which official documents
00:52from the PSA, DFA, and NBI show.
01:08Senators even showed documents to prove
01:35their claim.
01:36Senators also questioned the alleged death threats Guo alleges she received, but the
01:52Senators are not buying it.
02:13Senators
02:43asked Guo on how her supposed siblings were able to flee the country.
02:48However, Guo did not budge on her stand nobody except one who helped her and her supposed
02:55siblings.
02:56One thing she's certain and made clear, no Filipinos helped her in leaving the country
03:56Senators also squeezed Guo about her alleged love life.
04:37Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino believes Guo's custody should be
04:48the Senate.
04:49For now, it is expected the ongoing Senate hearing saga on Guo will continue in the coming
04:55days.
