Sighted in Bulacan: Senators urge law enforcers to immediately arrest Guo
Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada has given the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) two weeks to arrest suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.
Estrada warned that failure to apprehend Guo within this timeframe could impact the 2025 budgets of these law enforcement agencies.
The Senate had previously issued an arrest order against Guo on July 11 for contempt after she failed to attend two hearings related to investigations into illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
The NBI reported to the Senate that there were "sightings" of Guo in Bulacan prior to the arrest order's issuance, but subsequent attempts to locate her at these sites were unsuccessful.
Estrada expressed frustration over the authorities' difficulty in locating Guo, questioning the effectiveness of their intelligence operations.
The Bureau of Immigration has indicated that Guo remains within the Philippines.
