Escudero prepared to sign an arrest warrant vs Alice Guo
Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero stated he would sign an arrest warrant for suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo if Senator Risa Hontiveros requests it to compel her attendance at the Senate probe.
Guo's legal team previously cited trauma as a reason for her reluctance to attend, but Escudero clarified that she must present a medical certificate if she misses the hearing due to health reasons.
The Senate committee, chaired by Senator Hontiveros, is investigating Guo's alleged links to a raided POGO hub in Bamban.
Subpoenas have been issued to Guo, her parents, and siblings, with the subpoena for the mayor served through her legal counsel.
