Alice Guo denies being a spy, claims she is a love child
Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo vehemently denied allegations of being a spy for any foreign country, asserting her loyalty to the Philippines.
She asserted her Filipino identity, pointing out that she holds a Philippine passport, which she obtained between 2003 and 2005.
Guo claimed to be the love child of Angelito Guo, a Chinese national, and Amelia Leal, a Filipina who worked as a house help for her father's wife.
This claim about her parentage could not be independently verified as of posting time.
She recalled blanking out during a Senate hearing when asked about her parents' marital status, which seemed inconsistent with her previous statements.
Guo maintained her lack of involvement in any illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (Pogo) operations within her municipality, despite acknowledging their purported benefits.
She urged her biological mother to surface and address the inquiries into her family background.
