Ang See: Probe on Guo turning into 'zarzuela'
The Philippine Star
|May 28, 2024
Warning against an emerging "anti-China narrative," civic leader Teresita Ang See yesterday expressed concern that the ongoing Senate investigation on the Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO) is turning into a "zarzuela," centering on the lifestyle of a Tarlac mayor suspected of hiding her real identity as a Chinese.
"Many of my comments are echoed by many of my friends. Why was the investigation at the Senate sides tracked?" Ang See said in an interview with "Storycon" on One News.
"It started with an investigation on POGO, which we really, really welcome... But now, it has become a zarzuela. It's very irritating to see our senators with so many national problems - going below decency and digging out dirt, digging out about boyfriends, kasambahay and all these things," she added.
Ang See was referring to the Senate hearings on the POGO operations in Bamban, Tarlac, which currently centers on the identity of the town's mayor, Alice Guo.
