Guo personally had her affidavit notarized on Aug. 14, says lawyer
Notary public Elmer Galicia confirmed meeting dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo on the evening of August 14 to notarize her counter-affidavit, contradicting the Bureau of Immigration's statement about her departure.
Galicia, accompanied by Bulacan Provincial Prosecutor Ramoncito Ocampo and Caloocan City Prosecutor Darwin Cañete to the Department of Justice (DOJ), stated that Guo was personally brought to him by an individual named 'Allan'.
This testimony supports claims that Guo was in the Philippines last week, countering earlier reports of her departure as early as July 18.
Galicia's law firm is located in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, an area where the National Bureau of Investigation has reported Guo sightings.
Guo's counter-affidavit, filed with the DOJ regarding qualified trafficking in persons, was notarized by Galicia on August 14 and submitted on August 16.
