00:51.9
Parang nag-random lang.
00:53.7
Ang location tapos 100% accurate, andun yung target.
00:56.6
Alam nyo, sa tingin ko, yung pag-withhold ng address, saka pag-withhold ng ownership, protection yun kaya Harry Roque.
01:08.1
Bakit nasabi kong protection sa kanya yun?
01:10.6
Bakit kong nasabing protection sa kanya yun?
01:12.8
I think it was deliberately withheld.
01:14.5
Siyempre, alam nila yung address.
01:16.3
It was deliberately withheld in that particular committee.
01:20.5
Kasi nga, ang magsasabi kung sino may-ari ng bagay.
01:23.7
Yung bagay na yun ay si Harry Roque.
01:25.8
Kaya they left it for Harry Roque to answer.
01:32.3
Yun yun John Paul.
01:33.8
Yun yun dahilan dun.
01:36.1
Kaya hindi sinagot ng Bureau of Immigration kung sino yung may-ari at saan yung atres.
01:46.0
Harry Roque, press statement, July 29, 2024.
01:49.6
Let me start with the press release issued by the Philippine...
01:53.7
Amusement and Gaming Corporation on June 29, 2024.
01:58.2
It stated that a former high-ranking government official tried to facilitate the grant of gaming licenses to some of illegal Pogos.
02:07.9
Naalala nyo ba ito mga kamisos natin?
02:13.7
Naalala nyo ba yan?
02:15.5
Tapos ayaw pa nilang banggitin nun yung sinong former high-ranking government official na yun.
02:19.7
Tapos lumabas yung pangalan ni Harry Roque.
02:24.7
Kasi ito yung mga Pogo na na-raid and found engaged in illegal activities.
02:33.7
So, ito talaga yung simula kung kailan linilink na nila si Harry Roque sa mga Pogo.
02:44.0
Please note that in the July 10, 2024 testimony of Pagkor Chairman Alejandro Tenko before the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations,
02:53.4
and Gender Equality, he never said,
02:55.1
I intervened for a Pagkor license.
02:59.4
Hindi niya sinabi.
03:00.7
Pero nagkaroon ng press release na finasilitate niya.
03:05.3
O nag-intervene siya o meron siyang ginawa para dun sa mga Pogo na yun.
03:12.1
Instead, Chairman Tenko stated only the truth.
03:14.7
I accompanied Kasi Ong of Whirlwind Corporation to Pagkor on July 26, 2023
03:19.9
to request the possible rescheduling of the area's payment.
03:23.4
of Whirlwind's lessee, Lucky South 99, Inc.,
03:27.3
allegedly Lucky South's former Pagkor representative,
03:30.5
Dennis Cunanan, absconded with a $500,000 intended payment for the agency.
03:37.5
Dalawa rin kasi yung version dito, mga kapatid natin.
03:40.0
Yung isang version, mga kapatid natin,
03:42.1
eh, nakancela yung lisensya.
03:44.1
Tapos, parang brino-broker.
03:47.3
Ito yung isang allegation nila, ha?
03:49.0
Pero syempre, napuniniwalaan natin si Roque.
03:52.6
Sa kanya ito, eh.
03:53.8
Itong live stream na ito, para sa kanya yan.
03:56.9
Pero syempre, sasabihin ko rin sa inyo yung kwento.
04:00.6
Na parang nag-intervene siya kasi doon,
04:02.9
parang nakancela yung license,
04:04.5
o nawala na yung license,
04:05.6
hindi na pwede mag-operate,
04:07.0
nag-broker siya para makapag-operate.
04:09.2
Yun yung lumalabas na isa.
04:10.6
Pero ito yung sasundin natin ngayon,
04:12.0
kasi ito yung tama.
04:13.2
Okay, sinasabi niya dito,
04:15.2
yung rescheduling ng area's payment
04:17.4
ng Whirlwind's lessee, Lucky South 99, Inc.
04:21.5
Okay, so, shout out, mga kapatid natin.
04:23.4
He was there for Whirlwind Corporation.
04:27.1
Tapos, mga kapatid natin, yung area's sa pag-core.
04:30.3
Pero hindi ko rin maintindihan,
04:32.3
mga kapatid natin,
04:37.8
Whirlwind's lessee, Lucky South 99.
04:41.2
So, nag-release lang ulit.
04:45.6
So, kung Whirlwind,
04:51.8
yung Lucky South 99,
04:53.4
pero ang nakikiusap,
04:56.8
yung Whirlwind Corporation sa pag-core.
05:01.0
Medyo hindi ko rin maintindihan.
05:02.6
Alam nyo naman ako, mga kapatid natin,
05:04.0
pag may duda ako, hindi ko maintindihan.
05:06.9
Pero kasi nga, ito eh,
05:08.1
para kay Harry Roque, then let's go.
05:10.2
Allegedly, Lucky South former
05:11.8
pag-core representative, Dennis Cunanan,
05:17.3
intended payment for the agency.
05:20.5
So, babayaran nila yung pag-core dito.
05:23.4
Whirlwind, ganun ba yun?
05:25.4
Whirlwind ang nakikipag-usap para sa Lucky South 99.
05:31.6
Tapos, yung, yung represent, Lucky South's former pag-core representative, ha?
05:39.4
So, itong Lucky South, meron silang representative sa pag-core.
05:45.4
Si Dennis Cunanan.
05:47.4
Tapos, si Dennis Cunanan, tinakbo niya yung 500,000 dollars.
05:50.4
Ang laking pera nito.
05:54.9
Ang dami-daming, ano,
05:56.9
hindi pwedeng diretso.
06:02.9
Tapos, iba yung kliyente.
06:06.9
meron pang, yung Lucky South,
06:08.9
meron, meron si Harry Roque.
06:12.9
Meron pang representative ng pag-core.
06:14.9
Lucky South's former pag-core representative
06:16.9
na si Dennis Cunanan.
06:18.9
Tapos, si Dennis Cunanan yung nagtakbo ng 500,000.
06:22.9
Okay, okay, okay.
06:24.9
Hindi ko talaga...
06:30.9
Pag ako ganito ako magsulat, no,
06:32.9
malilito din ako sa sarili.
06:38.9
the intention is to really
06:42.9
Kasi, nalilito ako.
06:52.9
I accompanied Kasi Ong, si Kasi Ong,
06:54.9
Whirlwind Corporation to pag-core
06:56.9
to request the possible rescale of RERs payment.
06:58.9
Ang magbabayad ng RERs,
07:00.9
yung Whirlwind lesi
07:02.9
na Lucky South 99.
07:04.9
So, ang magbabayad talaga,
07:08.9
So, kailangan nyo sabihin na lesi
07:10.9
ng Whirlwind yun. So, anong
07:12.9
ginagawa ng Whirlwind Corporation
07:14.9
doon kung ang magbabayad naman pala
07:16.9
ay Lucky South 99?
07:18.9
Tapos, yung Lucky South 99, meron naman na silang
07:20.9
pag-corepresentative, si Dennis Cunanan.
07:22.9
So, ano pang ginagawa ng Whirlwind doon?
07:24.9
At saka ni Dennis, Dennis tuloy,
07:28.9
Tapos, itong si Dennis Cunanan, kung siya
07:30.9
naman pala yung magbabayad at nasa kanya na yung
07:32.9
pera, ano pang ginagawa nila doon? Yun.
07:34.9
Kasi, tapos yun, tinakuha ni
07:36.9
Dennis Cunanan yung pera.
07:50.9
Okay, tuloy natin.
07:52.9
There was no mention of a license because
07:54.9
pag-core had just issued the new guidelines
07:56.9
on the POGO license renewal.
07:58.9
O, ito kasing sinasabi nila mga kapatid natin
08:06.9
na-cancel daw yung license o nire-renew yung
08:08.9
license, bla bla bla. Ang dami kasing kwento.
08:10.9
Pati rin si Harry Roque,
08:12.9
syempre may kwento siya.
08:14.9
Pero sabi ko nga sa inyo, let's make sense of this
08:16.9
press release. Yun lang naman yung gagawin
08:18.9
natin ngayon eh. Okay?
08:20.9
Hindi niya ako magpapaliwanag kung tukol sa batas.
08:22.9
Intindihan na lang natin ito.
08:28.9
There's no mention daw
08:30.9
of a license because pag-core had just issued
08:32.9
the new guidelines on the POGO license renewal.
08:34.9
Later renamed as IGL
08:38.9
Consequently, Whirlwind
08:40.9
was only given a copy of the new guidelines.
08:44.9
sila nagre-renew nung
08:48.9
ito sa kahit anuman na
08:50.9
license ng Whirlwind Corporation.
08:54.9
Bakit LuckySouth99 ang nagbabayad?
08:58.9
Let's just make sense out of it. Okay?
09:02.9
hindi pa ako ng braso para sa isang
09:04.9
POGO. I only did my job as a lawyer
09:06.9
to Ms. Cassie Ong and Whirlwind.
09:10.9
hindi sa LuckySouth99
09:12.9
kasi sinabi niya nga naman explicitly,
09:14.9
hindi siya abogado ng LuckySouth99.
09:20.9
ang may problema dito,
09:22.9
yung arrears na iyan, mga kapatid natin,
09:30.9
Pinapaliwanag ko lang sa inyo, ha?
09:32.9
Beginning February 2024,
09:34.9
I communicated 5 times with Atty. Jessa
09:36.9
Maris Fernandez, pag-course head
09:38.9
of Offshore Gaming Licensing Department.
09:40.9
She only responded to me 3 times.
09:44.9
3 out of 5. Okay na yun.
09:46.9
1 text message and 1 via telephone call.
09:48.9
She failed to respond on 2 equations.
09:52.9
I think, okay na yun.
09:58.9
I asked Ms. Fernandez about the documentary
10:00.9
requirements that LuckySouth still lacks.
10:02.9
Oo. Bakit LuckySouth na ang usapan?
10:08.9
Whirlwind Corporation?
10:12.9
Pero tulad nga na sinabi ko,
10:14.9
let's just make sense out of it. Okay?
10:18.9
yung LuckySouth. Pero abogado
10:20.9
siya ng Whirlwind.
10:22.9
I also informed her that
10:24.9
the POGO had retained a lawyer
10:26.9
to prepare the new money laundering and
10:28.9
terrorism financing prevention
10:30.9
program requirement. In June 2024,
10:32.9
I asked her regarding the status of
10:34.9
the POGO's license renewal.
10:36.9
So ito yung LuckySouth99.
10:40.9
90 daw siya, abogado nito.
10:46.9
Nalilito rin ako.
10:48.9
Pasensyahan nyo na lang akong hindi ko may paliwanag
10:50.9
ng maayos sa inyo. Kasi binasa
10:52.9
ko rin talaga dito. It's difficult to
10:54.9
understand completely the story.
10:56.9
Kasi nga, nag-umpisa sa Whirlwind.
10:58.9
Tapos inintroduce yung LuckySouth
11:02.9
Tapos abogado siya ng Whirlwind. Pero
11:04.9
eventually, ang ginagawa niyang trabaho
11:06.9
ay para sa LuckySouth99.
11:08.9
Yun! Yun nangyari
11:14.9
It is clear to me that the discrepancy
11:16.9
between the PAGCOR PR and the
11:18.9
Senate hearing statements of both Chairman Tenko
11:20.9
and Atty. Fernandez forms part of a
11:22.9
malicious, well-organized, well-funded,
11:24.9
and pernicious demolition job to
11:26.9
destroy my name and reputation.
11:28.9
Why? Because I am a
11:32.9
Who has openly called for the resignation
11:34.9
of the President.
11:36.9
Given his refusal to deny
11:38.9
or admit the allegation that he is
11:40.9
a cocaine addict.
11:48.9
iba na yung usapan?
11:50.9
Bakit yung pulburon
12:00.9
Pati yung explanation niya sa
12:02.9
relationship niya sa LuckySouth.
12:06.9
It came around, eh.
12:08.9
It came around and it
12:10.9
showed here that he's still
12:12.9
representing LuckySouth.
12:14.9
Kasi siya yung tumatawag
12:16.9
kay Ms. Fernandez
12:18.9
para sa LuckySouth.
12:22.9
Pero dito sa una kasi sinasabi niya
12:24.9
mga kabatas natin na
12:34.9
Whirlwind Corporation.
12:46.9
Kokaina. Kokaina.
12:52.9
press release which preceded
12:54.9
Mr. Tenko's July 10
12:56.9
Senate testimony was an obvious
13:00.9
The statements made by the Pagkurs chair
13:02.9
in the press release differed
13:06.9
Senate testimony. At least 15
13:08.9
media organizations repeated the allegations
13:10.9
in the June 29 PR rather than
13:12.9
the July 10 testimony.
13:18.9
I did not intercede on behalf of an
13:20.9
illegal POGO since LuckySouth
13:22.9
had a legal license until May
13:26.9
discussion with the Pagkurs chairman centered
13:28.9
on the rescheduling of LuckySouth's
13:32.9
So sinasabi niya mga kabatas
13:34.9
natin. O ito. Ito pa. Nagkakaroon na
13:36.9
ng linaw. Hindi naman talaga
13:38.9
kasi tungkol sa license yun.
13:40.9
Tungkol sa payment
13:44.9
So ibig sabihin abogado ka rin
13:46.9
ng LuckySouth. Diba? We can
13:48.9
safely conclude that he is also a lawyer
13:50.9
for LuckySouth because
13:52.9
he is talking for and
13:54.9
in behalf of LuckySouth
13:56.9
with the Pagkurs chairman.
14:02.9
Whirlwind is also a service provider
14:06.9
So you are a lawyer of
14:10.9
What is the importance of being a service
14:12.9
provider? Given that
14:14.9
POGO operators do not even speak English
14:16.9
and require the services of Filipinos
14:18.9
to provide their needs, from the physical
14:20.9
infrastructure to liaison
14:28.9
So ano kayo? Translator.
14:36.9
Pero ito kasi mga kabatas natin.
14:38.9
Service provider.
14:40.9
Service provider.
14:42.9
So service provider din sila ng
14:56.9
Sabi ni Alves Roja.
14:58.9
Since LuckySouth, a Chinese, has
15:00.9
hard time in communication, they seek the assistance
15:02.9
of their service provider Whirlwind. Then
15:04.9
Whirlwind seek Roques expertise.
15:22.9
Yan nga yung parang sinasabi niya dito.
15:30.9
pinoprovide ng Whirlwind
15:38.9
Nagbigay sila ng abogado.
15:48.1
Nagbigay sila ng abogado
15:53.6
Lucky South 99, di ba?
15:57.0
Mahirap talaga intindihin nyo.
16:04.0
Ano bang, ano bang, ano bang
16:06.1
prino-provide na service ng whirlwind?
16:25.6
As of July 26, 2023,
16:28.2
Dennis Cunanan was still the registered representative
16:30.5
of Lucky South 2 Pack Corps.
16:32.8
Ito yung nagtakbo
16:38.2
So, anong ginagawa mo dun?
16:43.3
Si Dennis Cunanan ba hindi marunang mag...
17:03.7
anong ginagawa ni Dennis Cunanan?
17:06.9
Anong ginagawa ni Harry Roque?
17:13.3
Itong si Dennis Cunanan,
17:18.1
Kasi sabi nila dito,
17:21.0
What is the importance of being a service provider
17:23.2
given that pago-operators do not even speak English
17:25.5
and require the services of Filipinos
17:27.1
to provide all their needs,
17:28.5
from physical structure to liaison with Pack Corps?
17:31.2
O meron naman si Dennis Cunanan
17:33.1
na registered representative
17:34.6
of Lucky South 2 Pack Corps.
17:45.9
Eh, ikaw ka mapanggit lang sa taas eh.
17:49.9
Pago-operators do not speak English.
17:51.6
Hindi ko na-invento to.
17:53.8
I'm making sense out of it.
17:57.3
So, kung ganyan ang dahilan dyan,
17:59.5
ibig sabihin si Dennis Cunanan
18:00.8
hindi rin marunong mag-English.
18:14.8
Filipino si Dennis
18:16.1
na hindi marunong mag-English.
18:21.3
Filipino siya, di ba?
18:23.6
Obviously, marunong din siya mag-English.
18:26.0
At kaya niya makipag-transact sa Pack Corps.
18:29.8
yung registered representative
18:31.3
ng Lucky South 2 Pack Corps.
18:33.1
O, kung meron na pala,
18:36.3
wala pang gamit nung
18:42.1
He was an independent contractor
18:44.1
who was neither a Lucky South stockholder
18:47.4
O, kasi nga representative, di ba?
18:50.2
In fact, it was Chairman Tengco himself
18:52.3
who suggested that Ms. Ong replace Mr. Cunanan.
18:55.1
Like Cunanan, Ong was not a shareholder
18:56.9
or officer of Lucky South.
19:01.6
Ito yung silbi niya.
19:05.5
World Informer retained me as their lawyer
19:07.4
in an ejectment case.
19:09.3
Ejectment case naman pala eh.
19:10.8
Ba't nandoon ka sa Pack Corps?
19:13.1
Ang dami mong tanong!
19:15.5
Ay, ako pala maraming tanong.
19:17.0
Ang dami mong tanong.
19:22.4
I filed a motion to quash a written execution
19:24.7
before the Regional Trial Court of Angane City.
19:27.1
The RTC granted the petition.
19:28.7
By the end of August,
19:29.5
I filed a petition for an amendment of judgment
19:31.1
with the Court of Appeals.
19:32.2
Being World Informer,
19:33.0
I filed a petition for an amendment of judgment.
19:33.0
I filed a petition for an amendment of judgment.
19:33.3
Corporate Secretary,
19:35.3
Ms. Ong signed the pleading filed by the Appellate Court.
19:42.9
Yung ine-eject dito,
19:44.5
yung Lucky South 99.
19:49.7
Pero ikaw yung nag...
19:53.0
Hindi ko maintindihan.
19:54.2
Sino pa ang ine-eject dito?
20:00.1
Again, I never represented Lucky South.
20:03.0
I asked Ms. Fernandez about the documentary requirements
20:13.2
that Lucky South still lacked.
20:17.5
So, kalaban nila yung Lucky South.
20:28.1
So, Lucky South, kalaban nila dito.
20:31.2
Hindi niya nare-represent.
20:33.0
Pero kung ang issue dito,
20:49.9
bakit ikaw yung pupunta sa Pagkol?
21:11.2
Siya rin yung nag-inform
21:14.9
Na yung Lucky South
21:18.5
May lawyer na nag-prepare ng
21:21.5
Tapos nag-request din
21:25.1
Eh nagtanong din siya tungkol sa
21:28.1
Nung Lucky South 99
21:29.9
Pero sinabi niya rin dito
21:35.3
Mga kapatas natin na may
21:36.9
In short I did not intercede in behalf of
21:42.4
Since Lucky South had a legal license
21:44.7
Until May 22, 2029
21:48.0
So sinasabi mo dito
21:49.8
You did not intercede on behalf of
21:52.1
An illegal POGO kasi
21:54.9
Kasi nga meron silang
21:58.5
So kung yun ang ibig sabihin nito
22:05.4
O nag-lawyer ka para sa Lucky South 99
22:07.6
Pero dito sinabi mo
22:12.5
I never represented Lucky South
22:16.2
I never had dealings with
22:18.3
A new officer from Lucky South
22:19.7
Truth be told I would have wanted
22:22.1
To represent Lucky South because
22:24.1
The government raid on its
22:26.5
Borac Pampanga property
22:28.3
Was unconstitutional
22:29.6
Ah gusto niya lang daw
22:34.4
The initial search warrant
22:39.0
Was issued by a judge
22:40.0
Without jurisdiction in Pampanga
22:41.7
Thus the Borac did not have
22:43.4
A valid search warrant
22:44.4
Even after a search warrant
22:45.7
Was subsequently issued by Pampanga judge
22:48.7
Doon na sa warrant
22:52.6
Pag usapang social media
22:55.9
Nag-aabogado ka na para sa Lucky South
23:07.5
I would have wanted to represent Lucky South
23:11.5
Because the government raid on its
23:12.9
Borac Pampanga property
23:14.0
Was unconstitutional
23:15.1
Doon nahanap yung kanyang
23:16.8
Yung kanyang mga papeles
23:19.1
The initial search warrant was issued by a judge
23:21.4
Without jurisdiction in Pampanga
23:22.9
Thus the Borac did not have valid search warrant
23:25.3
Even after a search warrant was subsequently issued by Pampanga judge
23:28.2
Doon na hanap yung kanyang mga papeles
23:28.3
The warrant did not specify
23:29.8
Which of the 49 buildings
23:31.4
Was subjected to a search
23:32.6
This is constitutionally infirm
23:37.2
Most Chinese Pogo operators
23:38.5
Do not hire lawyers
23:39.4
Based on who can argue the law
23:41.4
Best but on who wields
23:43.3
The most influence in the government
23:44.9
Parang may nilaglag
23:48.1
Lucky South would never get
23:54.7
The legal services of an arch critic
23:56.6
Of a Marcos Jr. administration
23:58.3
As an anti-Marcos activist
24:00.1
I would only make matters worse
24:07.1
Itong mga nangyari na ito
24:11.1
Kailan ba sila nag-uusap?
24:28.3
May 2023 sila nag-uusap
24:30.0
Critic na ba siya ni Marcos dito noon?
24:46.9
Even if I represented
24:49.5
According to the Supreme Court
24:50.9
Yamashita vs. Tyler
24:52.6
Even the most loathsome criminal
24:54.2
Is entitled to legal representation
25:00.2
The role of the lawyers
25:01.4
Is to protect the rights of the accused
25:03.5
The right to legal representation
25:05.1
Forms part of due process
25:08.5
The alleged organization
25:09.6
Charged submitted to PAGCOR
25:10.9
Which named me as
25:11.9
Lucky South's legal representative
25:13.3
Is nothing but a mere scrap of paper
25:17.3
Under the Senate rules
25:21.0
In legislative investigations
25:22.4
The rules of court
25:29.6
The document flashed
25:32.4
In the July 10 hearing
25:33.4
Is a private document
25:37.2
For a private document
25:40.2
By anyone who saw
25:41.3
The document executed
25:44.0
Genuineness of the signature
25:46.0
Or handwriting of the maker
25:47.6
Or any other evidence
25:49.3
Of its due execution
25:53.1
In relation to the
25:54.1
Alleged organizational chart
25:56.7
I deny that I authorize
25:57.6
The inclusion of my name
25:58.9
In the said organizational chart
26:01.1
I caused the preparation
26:07.8
Pero alam mo naman din na
26:09.8
Wala silang pakalam
26:11.0
Sa evidence sa Senado
26:12.5
I could not have facilitated
26:14.0
The issuance of a license
26:15.0
Because in a political agency
26:18.8
Of the Marcus Jr. administration
26:20.4
Or a close associate
26:21.7
Of the First Lady
26:28.9
A critical but issue-based stance
26:30.7
Against the malpractices
26:31.9
Of the government
26:34.6
I became an arch-critic
26:37.0
Maisug rally in Davao
26:42.1
That I could hope
26:43.7
From PAGCOR's chairman
26:44.8
According to former
26:45.7
Executive Secretary
26:47.5
Who was personally
26:48.7
Handpicked by the First Lady
26:50.2
I would be a bane
26:52.1
To a licensed applicant
27:06.0
They did not stick to the issue
27:07.9
And his explanation
27:12.1
Take into consideration
27:13.6
That everything he said
27:19.4
Also about the allegations
27:27.1
dahil daw isa siyang maisug
27:31.4
maraming salamat mga kapatid natin
27:33.9
may isa pa po tayo
27:36.2
at syempre tulad na lagi ang sinasabi
27:37.4
matulog po tayo ng mahimbing
27:39.2
yung natutulog ng mahimbing
27:40.7
siya yung lagi yung panalo
