The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the filing of criminal charges against Shiela Guo and Cassandra Li Ong, representative of a POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga.

Ong faces charges for disobedience to a summons from the House of Representatives and obstruction of justice for allegedly harboring a criminal offender.

Guo faces charges for disobedience to summons issued by the Senate and for allegedly using a fake Philippine passport.

The DOJ also stated that money laundering cases would be filed against Shiela Guo and possibly Ong this week or the next.

Furthermore, qualified human trafficking charges will soon be filed against Ong, who is allegedly connected to the POGO in Porac, Pampanga.

Both Guo and Ong were repatriated to the Philippines last week after being intercepted in Indonesia and are currently under NBI custody.

The Senate is set to file perjury and disobedience to summons against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo within the week.
