Alice Guo contests Comelec ‘misrepresentation’ case, insists 2022 candidacy is valid
The camp of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo has submitted her counter-affidavit before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) regarding a material misrepresentation case, meeting the extended deadline of Thursday, September 12, 2024.
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia confirmed the submission and stated that the case would be submitted for resolution.
Garcia expects the Comelec Law Department to make a recommendation to the en banc by next week, with the en banc expected to act on it immediately.
The case against Guo stems from her alleged false claim in her voting records of being a Filipino citizen, despite evidence suggesting she is Chinese national Guo Hua Ping.
Garcia also clarified that the Comelec is not singling out Guo, as the law department had recommended charging at least five other former candidates with misrepresentation.
