Alice Guo posts bail for graft charges, but will remain detained
Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo posted bail of P540,000 for graft charges at the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court Branch 282, though she will remain detained.
Her graft charges stem from alleged involvement in a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in Bamban, leading to violations of Republic Act 3019.
Guo's arraignment for the graft case was postponed to September 30 due to a pending motion to quash information.
She remains detained due to a separate qualified trafficking case, for which a warrant of arrest was issued by a Pasig court.
Additionally, Guo is being held under contempt orders from both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Her legal team is proceeding with the cases, with her lawyer stating she has accepted her situation.
