Press Release - WIN TRANSCRIPT | Senator Win Gatchalian's interview on ANC's Headstart with Karen Davila on Guo Hua Ping

Q: Alright, what do you make of Guo Hua Ping or Alice Guo's continued denial that one, she's a Chinese national, and now that she's a Chinese spy, she has not changed.

SEN. WIN: Well, the first one on being a Chinese national, that's part of her legal legal strategy, her legal defense to continue to say that she is a Filipino and she holds legitimate documents, but the evidence will speak for itself.

In fact, human trafficking is rampant in that area. Now this this person, even though it's reported by a major news outlet, we need to validate that, and through an executive session, we need to ask our defense establishment, our intelligence establishments, whether this information is true or not, definitely spying, this type of
