AMLC: Guo lists ‘Wen Yi Lin’ as her mother in bank accounts
Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo provided several variations of her mother's maiden name when opening bank accounts, as revealed by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
AMLC Director Emmett Manantan confirmed to senators that some of these variations included 'Winnie Leal,' 'Wennie Leal Lin,' 'Wen Yi Lin Leal,' 'Winnie C. Leal,' and 'Amelia Lin Leal.'
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian clarified that Guo voluntarily listed 'Wen Yi Lin' as her mother's maiden name in these accounts.
Gatchalian suggested that the inclusion of 'Leal' might have been fabricated, as Guo had also voluntarily declared 'Wen Yi Lin' in previous Bureau of Immigration documents.
The AMLC's findings were presented during a Senate inquiry into a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) hub raid in Bamban.
