Sheila Guo and Cassandra Ong should disclose every vital information they know when they appear in the next Senate hearing on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) controversy, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said on Satuday, Aug. 24. 

"Maganda na lang magsabi sila ng totoo at ipaliwanag nila at ilabas nila lahat ng mga nalalaman nila (It would be great if they tell the truth as well as explain and disclose everything that they know)," Gatchalian said in a radio interview over DWIZ.

"Dahil unang-una yung POGO ay tapos na sa ating bansa. Ang gusto lang naman natin ay mahanap itong mga mastermind at panagutin itong mga mastermind. So, maganda sabihin nila yung kanilang nalalaman pagdating sa mga mastermind itong POGOs. At sabihin na rin nila yung modus operandi dito sa mga fake birth certificates (Because first of all, the country has seen the end of POGOs. What we want is to know who the masterminds are and bring them to justice. So it would be great if they disclose all they know when it comes to POGO masterminds and tell who are behind the fake birth certificates)," he added.

According to Gatchalian, Alice Guo's sibling Sheila, who is a shareholder and officer of companies established by the Guo family, could shed light on the funding of the POGO hub in Bamban. 

"Mag tell-all na sila (They should tell all). By virtue of Cassandra Ong and Sheila Guo traveling together, ibig sabihin ay malapit si Cassandra sa Guo family. Dito natin makikita ang koneksyon ng Bamban POGO sa Porac POGO (It means that Cassandra is close to the Guo family. Here we'll see the connection of the Bamban POGO with the Porac POGO)," Gatchalian said.

"Sheila Guo plays a very important role. In most of the companies owned by the Guo family, she was an officer and stockholder. Ang ibig sabihin nito, kung ang Guo companies ay ginamit (This means that if the Guo companies were used) to fund the Bamban POGO hub, Sheila also has a role in that funding," he said.

Ong is also expected to provide important information about the POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga. 

"Cassandra Ong, as we all know, is the authorized representative of Lucky South 99. In fact, she even went to Pagcor to discuss the license of Lucky South 99," he noted.

“Ang kinasasangkutan nila ay transnational crimes. May mga money launderers na nahuli sa Singapore na kasosyo ni Alice Guo. Sabihin rin nila kung sino pa ‘yung ibang mga negosyante na kasama nila dito sa operasyon na ito. Hindi lang mga foreign syndicates ang sangkot dito. Lumalabas na may mga lokal na negosyante rin silang kasama (What they're involved in are transnational crimes. There were money launderers who were caught in Singapore who were involved with Alice Guo. They should name the other businessmen involved in this operation. This does not only concern foreign syndicates. It turns out that even local business owners are involved),” Gatchalian added.

On late Thursday afternoon, Indonesian authorities flew Sheila and Cassandra back to the Philippines. 

Senate spokesman, lawyer Arnel Jose Bañas said that the Senate was "prepared to receive" the two women. The joint Senate hearing will take place on Aug. 27.
