POSIBLENG IMBESTIGAHAN SA KAMARA ANG PAGKATAO NI MAYOR ALICE GUO NG BAMBAN, TARLAC
01:30.1
It's a possibility to have a parallel investigation here in the House of Representatives.
01:36.5
Because this is very serious and at the same time very alarming.
01:40.7
Because imagine a Chinese, well allegedly isa pong Chinese person was able to register herself 17 years after na siya po ay pinanganap.
01:56.5
So late registration po yun nangyari.
01:59.0
And this concerns about the citizenship of this particular individual, lalong-lalo na we are talking about a public official.
02:09.0
And under our constitution, those who want to serve our country and to join the electoral process as candidates for a local position, they should be Filipino citizens.
02:22.8
Dagdag ni Bongalon naway magsilbiring paalala ang insidente ito sa nalalapit na 2024.
02:29.0
Bawat butante dapat ay maging mapanuri at ang Commission on Elections kailangan din anyang maghigpit pa sa mga tinatanggap na kandidato.
02:39.5
Kung baga look out ito ng ating Commission on Elections.
02:43.6
Dapat iscreen nila lahat ng mga kakandidato na ngayong darating na midterm election.
02:50.7
This is a very serious issue na hindi lamang about national security dahil meron na ho tayong mga,
02:59.0
allegedly Chinese persons or individuals na gustong pasukin pati yung paggogobyerno sa ating bansa.
03:07.4
Kung mapapatunayan na hindi naman pala talaga siya Filipino citizen, ay siya po ay pwedeng maging liable o makasuhan ng perjury sapagkat pinanumpaan po yung mismong certificate of candidacy.
03:19.1
Pero again, hindi po nire-require ng ating batas na magsasubmit ng dagdag na dokumento para lang patunayan na ikaw ay of age.
03:26.6
Wala pong birth certificate requirement.
03:29.0
Tunayan na ikaw ay Filipino citizen, wala rin po requirement na gano'n.
03:31.9
O kaya isasubmit mo yung iyong voter's ID o voter's certification, wala pong gano'n.
03:36.8
Ipipresume ng COMELEC, sabi ng batas, na yung deklarasyon mo lahat ay tama until may mag-file ng disqualification o cancellation ng iyong candidacy na isang registered voter.
03:47.8
Ang COMELEC po ay ministerial ang duty namin.
03:51.5
Ano po ibig sabihin?
03:52.8
Wala po kaming karapatan na tumanggi sa pina-file na certificates of candidacy.
03:57.3
Basta po kompleto.
03:59.0
Ang lahat ng items doon, walang blanco, tatanggapin po namin yan.
04:04.1
Kahit pa nga maaaring mali ang deklarasyon o nagsisinungaling, maliban na lang kung later on may magpa-file po ng disqualification.
04:11.0
So again, hindi po namin kilala ang lahat ng kandidato sa buong Pilipinas.
04:14.6
Kung kalahating milyong po yan, hindi naman namin alam na hindi pala sa Pilipino.
04:18.2
Hindi namin alam na siya pala ay hindi of age.
04:21.2
Dapat po may magpa-file na disqualification.
04:23.8
Sa kalagayan po na naturang personalidad, sa verification po namin,
04:27.6
wala pong nag-file ng disqualification sa kanya bilang isang kandidato.
04:32.8
In fact, nung nagparehistro siya noong April ng 2021 bilang botante,
04:38.0
wala pong ni isang nag-oppose sa kanyang application for registration kung kaya ito ay na-approve ng Election Registration Board.
04:46.4
Well, with regard to this interagency body, with regard to the controversy concerning several Chinese students,
04:55.3
of course, this is a welcome development.
04:57.6
Because what is at stake here is our national security.
05:02.4
And one of the non-negotiables in our country is our national security.
05:06.6
We want to make sure that the screening process of these students who are interested to enter the Philippines
05:14.0
and have their education here should go under a very strict process.
05:22.4
We want to make sure that these students do not pose insecurities.
05:27.6
We want to make sure that these students do not pose any security risks or security threats in our country.
05:30.8
On the issue of Mayor Alice Guo, I guess it's a possibility to have a parallel investigation here in the House of Representatives.
05:43.6
Because this is very serious and at the same time very alarming.
05:47.7
Because imagine a Chinese, well, allegedly, isa pong Chinese person was able to register herself,
05:57.6
no, 17 years after na siya po ay pinanganak.
06:03.5
So late registration po yun nangyari.
06:06.2
And these concerns about the citizenship of this particular individual,
06:13.1
lalong-lalo na we are talking about a public official, no?
06:17.0
And under our constitution, those who want to serve our country and to join the electoral process
06:24.4
as candidates for a local position.
06:27.6
They should be Filipino citizens.
06:30.6
Nakakaalarma po ito sapagkat, eh kung dito nga po may proseso ng naturalization sa Kongreso,
06:37.3
binibigyan po ng House of Representatives or the Congress itself,
06:41.1
yung mga nag-a-apply na gusto pong maging Filipino citizens.
06:44.6
Pero ito parang mabilisan, eh, no?
06:47.3
Kasi ang nagiging trend dito ay parang nagkakaroon ng late registration.
06:54.5
Ito mga Chinese nationals.
06:56.0
So i-register po.
06:57.6
Mabibigyan nila sa local civil registrar at sila naman ay issuan ng birth certificate
07:03.4
at yung birth certificate na yun ay ipo-forward sa PSA, no?
07:08.4
Sa Philippine Statistics Authority.
07:10.2
At bibigyan naman po ng certificate of live birth from the PSA.
07:15.5
So from there, mabibigyan din sila ng Philippine passport.
07:19.4
And therefore, for all intents and purposes, sila po ay Filipino citizens.
07:25.0
So these are very alarming, no?
07:27.6
Kung baga, minamani po lang nila ang ating mga batas,
07:32.1
ang ating pong mga proseso dito sa ating bansa.
07:35.3
And dapat po matigil ito.
07:37.6
Again, this is a national security issue na kailangan po pagbigyan at pagtuunan ng pansin ng ating gobyerno.
07:47.1
Dagdag lang din yung kay Konggil.
07:50.1
So medyo shady talaga yung nangyari sa investigasyon
07:53.6
kasi parang hindi mo alam kung saan ka nang galing.
07:56.1
Parang ganun yung dating.
07:57.6
And kahit sino naman siguro sa atin dito,
08:00.4
alam kung saan kayo nag-aral,
08:04.1
sino yung mga ganitong mga relevant na tao
08:06.5
sa mga importanteng highlights ng buhay mo.
08:09.7
So i-add ko lang yun kay Konggil.
08:11.7
But again, my focus is on the interagency po na nabuo.
08:16.5
Siguro, I would just like to urge itong ating binong interagency.
08:20.7
Kahit na hindi naman po nabuo itong interagency na will screen or will look into this issue,
08:27.6
eh, part po kasi talaga ng trabaho nila yan eh.
08:31.4
And part of their work is also looking at trends,
08:35.8
projecting trends ng national, ng international.
08:39.5
Bakit may influx ng ganitong number of people dito sa lugar na to?
08:45.1
So dapat, part po talaga ng mandate nila yun eh.
08:48.2
Kasi may global trend po yung ganyan.
08:50.6
Like, sa ano nga, diba, sa entertainment business.
08:56.1
Meron nga pong surge ng ano, diba?
08:59.5
K-pop is taking over the world.
09:01.3
Parang something like that.
09:02.7
So dapat po, hindi lang po yung kung ano po yung current na matter ngayon.
09:07.6
Dapat po yung mga ating national agencies, nakikita din po nila, may projections din po sila.
09:13.3
And they should have reasons or dapat may gathering sila ng facts
09:19.1
kung bakit po naging, o bakit dito sa kagayan ang daming influx ng students.
09:24.4
Something like that.
09:28.8
Bunyog, bunyog, halikan na kasama ka.
09:34.0
Bunyog, kapag buklot ay may pag-asa.
09:39.1
Tusong Visayas, Mindanao, isang pananaw.
09:44.2
Sa bagong Pilipinas, ang bunyog, isisigaw.
