Alice Guo's Senate testimony raises more questions

Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac faced the Senate for a second time to address allegations of involvement in illegal POGOs, but her testimony raised more questions than answers.

Guo claimed she did not know her siblings, Sheila and Seimen Guo, despite travel records showing they had journeyed together multiple times and co-incorporated several businesses.

Inconsistencies in her documents and testimonies have deepened the mystery surrounding her identity.

Senator Risa Hontiveros pointed out that government documents, including birth certificates, contradict Guo's claims about her parents and siblings.

Hontiveros questioned how Guo's mother could have abandoned her at birth in 1986 if she was also the mother of Siemen Guo, born in 1988.

Guo stated she was born on a farm and received education from a single individual from Kinder to high school, without attending college.

The mayor also mentioned that her father, Silong Guo, was the one who brought her to the Philippines, but she could not recall his exact year of arrival or when she last saw him.

Guo could not provide details about her source of income or the specific business activities of the companies she is linked to, leading to further scrutiny.

Despite the controversy surrounding her identity and business dealings, Guo maintained her innocence throughout the four-hour hearing.
