INQToday: Alice Guo admits reluctance to leave PH; foreign national aided escape
Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo confirmed that she and her companions left the Philippines by boat, including a yacht, although she was initially reluctant to leave the country.

She refused to name the facilitator or owner of the yacht, only recalling that it had 'wings' stickers and numbers on it.
Guo wrote the facilitator's name on a piece of paper for the senators but expressed uncertainty about whether he was the yacht's owner.
She cited safety concerns and threats as reasons for her fear.
