The arraignment of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo for two counts of graft charges at the Valenzuela court was postponed on Monday, September 30.
The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) confirmed the hearing was reset to October 28, though no reason was provided.
Guo had previously posted bail amounting to P540,000 for charges related to violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
These graft charges originated from a complaint by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) concerning her alleged connection to a raided POGO in Bamban.
Alice Guo is currently facing multiple charges including graft, qualified human trafficking, money laundering, and tax evasion.
She is presently detained at the Pasig City Jail and was reportedly in a state of shock during her first day of incarceration.
