Transcript

00:00Just a short question, the former Secretary Harry Roque said that he appealed on behalf of a service provider for Lakistar.

00:11What is the truth there? Is he a lawyer or not? Because I was confused yesterday in the Senate hearing.

00:18You know, your story will not change because I am the witness to everything that happened,

00:28along with the head of the Overseas Gaming Licensing Department of PAGCORP, Atty. Jessa Fernandez.

00:37So we are two people who are telling the story of everything that really happened. Secretary Roque asked for an appointment in my office.

00:50I had the opportunity to meet him on July 26, 2023 and when he went to my office, he was with a woman named Cassandra Lee Oh.

01:06Cassie?

01:08Cassie. They heard the problem of Cassie and the problem is the non-payment of the PAGCORP's life of their authorized representative.

01:22She was named Mr. Dennis Conana.

01:26So Ma'am Cassie received a letter from the OGLD, the Department of PAGCORP, saying that if they cannot correct their arrears,

01:46their license will be canceled and secondly, they have no right to give the license of the PAGCORP.

01:55So Cassandra said, Chairman, while we are in jail, someone is paying a partial payment.

02:11Our request is that the balance should be paid over time.

02:16I told her, you know, in SME, four gives.

02:25So I told her, Ma'am, if you are hoping to reapply because your license is a provisional status,

02:37make sure that you will be able to pay the balance of your debt to PAGCORP when you qualify as an applicant.

02:47If you are not able to pay that during the time that you are reapplying, there's no hope that you will be able to get a license.

02:56So she was able to pay almost P500,000 over time.

03:04Now, Secretary Rote did not force me.

03:11She did not tell me, Chairman, give me... No. She's the one who talked.

03:20Now, I don't know Cassandra Leong. She's a material person in the Senate investigation.

03:30In Lucky South 99.

03:36So what Secretary Rote said, she only accompanied Cassie because Cassie is her client and she wants to help.

03:48So whether he is a personal lawyer, whether he is a lawyer of Lucky South 99,

03:55and a lawyer of the company that he was saying that Cassie owned, the Whirlwind, I don't know the truth.

04:07We have heard it. When Lucky South 99 submitted the reapplication of their license or the renewal of their license,

04:20the name was included in the attachment. It's legal. There's a box. It's legal that the name is included.

04:28But Secretary Rote is just kidding. She said yesterday that there's no authority on her.

04:33We believe her. But the connection of the renewal application of Lucky South is the organizational chapter.

04:42And the name is included there. If she didn't force her name to be included there, maybe I shouldn't have followed that.

04:53I will believe her. That's what she said.

04:56But there's no correction when the old chart was submitted.

05:01There's no correction. The truth is, Ma'am Malu, we did not approve the renewal.

05:10Not because of this corrupt thing, but because of internal findings by our security department.

05:18Related to?

05:21We saw some gadgets that should have been removed.

05:29We also saw that their directors are just a bunch of people.

05:37So we did not renew. That's why it's clear. Lucky South 99 does not have a valid pad for license.

05:46Okay. Ms. Cassie is already in Singapore.

05:49That's what the police said yesterday.

05:53They said that our law enforcement agencies have information that she's in Singapore.
