Alice Guo may face perjury charges if she files COC for mayor -- OSG
Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo plans to file her certificate of candidacy (COC) for reelection next week, according to her lawyer.
The Solicitor General warned that Guo could face perjury charges if she files a COC and the facts stated under oath are proven false.
Guevarra also stated that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) may disqualify Guo for misrepresentation, preventing her name from appearing on the ballot unless a court restrains them.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has canceled Guo's passport, a move that the Solicitor General believes reinforces the basis for the quo warranto petition.
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) filed a quo warranto petition seeking to nullify Guo's proclamation as mayor, citing her Chinese nationality.
The OSG's petition is based on findings by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that Guo is also a Chinese national named Guo Hua Ping.
