Guo’s camp files new motion to admit counter-affidavit in trafficking case
Former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo's camp has filed another motion requesting the Department of Justice (DOJ) to accept her counter-affidavit regarding the human trafficking complaint filed against her.
The motion, filed on Friday, September 6, 2024, aims to renew their previous request to have her counter-affidavit admitted.
Guo's legal team seeks to have her counter-affidavit admitted, in which she had previously asked the DOJ to dismiss the trafficking complaint.
The initial counter-affidavit was notarized by Atty. Elmer Galicia, who admitted that Guo did not personally swear before him, a required step.
In light of this, DOJ Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano announced that Atty. Galicia would face criminal and administrative cases for the flawed notarization.
