Senator Risa Hontiveros showcased a photo in the Al Jazeera documentary "She Zhijiang" that purportedly shows a man who claims to be a Chinese spy with former President Rodrigo Duterte's ex-advisor Michael Yang.
Hontiveros presented a complex relationship diagram at the hearing, linking several key figures associated with the gambling industry, including former President Duterte, former presidential economic advisor Michael Yang, suspects related to the "Pharmally" scandal, self-proclaimed Chinese spy She Zhijiang, and the dismissed mayor of Tanauan City, Alice Guo, along with her relative Cassie Ong.
Even former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque was mentioned as being connected to this network.
