House Quadcom cites Alice Guo in contempt
The House of Representatives Quad Committee has cited dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo in contempt for allegedly lying and being evasive during a hearing.
Rep. Joseph Stephen Paduano made the motion after Guo repeatedly failed to provide a clear reason for not posting bail for the graft charges she is facing.
Guo had stated she was awaiting another case to be released, which Paduano countered by asserting she remained detained to stay at the PNP Custodial Center.
Paduano questioned Guo's inability to post bail for P180,000 despite alleged billions in assets, accusing her of deceiving the country.
Guo was ordered detained by the Quad Committee until its report on the investigation of illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators is adopted in the plenary.
The Senate had previously cited Guo in contempt for the second time on September 9 for allegedly continuing to lie to senators.
