Authorities in Southeast Asian nations are on alert for former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who is believed to have fled the Philippines.

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian stated that ASEAN ambassadors confirmed their respective authorities are on alert, making it difficult for Guo to move within the region.

Gatchalian expressed confidence that Guo would be apprehended in Indonesia, where Indonesian law enforcers are on alert.

Guo is accused of coddling an illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Bamban, Tarlac, which has been linked to human trafficking and scams.

She is facing an arrest warrant from the Senate for not attending its hearings on her alleged POGO ties.

The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) has said Guo was likely headed for mainland Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle, known for its weak law enforcement.
