INQToday: Alice Guo must face PH sentence prior to deportation, says Hontiveros
Senator Risa Hontiveros clarified that suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo must serve any sentence in the Philippines before any potential deportation if convicted.
Hontiveros cited assurances from the Department of Justice (DOJ), specifically from Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) Undersecretary Nicholas Ty, who heads the council.
This means Guo will face the consequences of any proven violations in the Philippines, not just in a foreign country upon deportation.
Guo is currently facing human trafficking charges, a non-bailable offense.
The Office of the Solicitor General also plans to file a quo warranto case to potentially remove Guo from her elected position.
