LJ Sumulong withdraws from Antipolo special polls – Comelec

*INVESTIGATE GUO’S SPY LINKS:* Sen. Risa Hontiveros, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality, calls on the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to arrange a meeting with Chinese Cambodian businessman She Zhijiang who is known for his extensive gambling investments across Southeast Asia including Cambodia, the Philippines and Myanmar. Hontiveros made the request during a public hearing Tuesday, October 8, 2024, after She Zhijiang’s cellmate, Wang Fugui, claimed that former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, also known as Guo Hua Ping, was allegedly involved in espionage activities for China. “The committee makes of record that it does not necessarily endorse the comments on the illegality of the arrest of Mr. She or its motivations geopolitical or otherwise. However, if our national security is implicated, it is our responsibility to listen and to investigate further. Ignoring these questions that strike at the heart of our national security would be the height of folly,” Hontiveros said in mix Filipino and English. The senator said the committee had validated some of the verifiable claims in both the Al Jazeera (Media Network) video and Wang Fugui’s statement, such as the travel records of She Zhijiang and his deep ties to the Philippines. “This is clear as day: The Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) used local government units' (LGUs) officials and law enforcement. There are indications that they were also used by foreign interests, and nests of syndicates,” Hontiveros added. She Zhijiang is currently detained in Thailand and is fighting extradition to China over charges related to operating online gambling sites. (Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau)
