Alice Guo’s great escape began on small boats, ends in private jet after Indonesia arrest
Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo's escape from the Philippines began with boat rides to Malaysia.
She was apprehended in Tangerang City, Indonesia, and subsequently flown back to the Philippines via private jet arranged by Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos and Philippine National Police chief Rommel Marbil.
Guo cited death threats and security concerns as reasons for her departure, stating she felt scared and unsafe due to alleged threats from "bad people."
She is currently detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center, opting for this location over the Senate due to safety concerns.
Guo is expected to testify at the Senate on Monday, but her lawyer indicated she may not be entirely forthcoming due to pending cases against her.
