DOJ exec admits Shiela Guo can become state witness but…
Justice Undersecretary Nicky Ty believes Shiela Guo may be qualified to become a state witness in the investigation into illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) activities, suggesting she was implicated rather than being a mastermind.
Ty stated that Shiela Guo's potential to be a state witness requires further proceedings, including the filing of a case against her before she can be discharged as a state witness.
Conversely, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla previously stated that Shiela Guo is unreliable and therefore not fit to be a state witness.
