PBBM orders probe into ex-mayor Alice Guo's departure

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered a full-scale investigation into the departure of former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, stating that "heads will roll" for those accountable.

Marcos emphasized that Guo's departure exposes corruption within the justice system and diminishes public trust.

He vowed to expose, suspend, and hold accountable to the fullest extent of the law anyone who aided her flight.

The Office of the President ordered the cancellation of the Philippine passports of Alice Guo, her siblings Wesley and Sheila Guo, and businesswoman Cassandra Ong.

Guo, who is facing complaints related to illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) and questions about her citizenship, reportedly left the country on July 18 for Malaysia and then Indonesia.

Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin indicated that the investigation is to be completed as soon as feasible.
