Gatchalian says some gov’t agencies aware of Guo escape since July
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian suspects collusion among government agencies to conceal former mayor Alice Guo's escape, as some were aware of her departure as early as July 18.
He questioned why the public was not immediately notified, suggesting an attempt to hide or cover up the incident, especially since the public also provided crucial information like pictures.
Guo's name was placed on an immigration lookout bulletin due to investigations into her identity and alleged ties to illegal POGO operations.
The Bureau of Immigration confirmed Guo is currently in Indonesia.
Guo's associates, Sheila Guo and Cassandra Ong, are in the custody of Philippine authorities.
