NBI files new charges vs Alice Guo including falsification

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed additional complaints against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, accusing her of falsification, perjury, and obstruction of justice.

These new charges stem from findings that the signature on Guo's notarized counter-affidavit was not her own, with examination results confirming the signatures did not match.

The counter-affidavit was related to a qualified trafficking complaint filed against Guo.

The NBI also charged notary public Elmer Galicia and four other individuals: Dante Catapay, Cheryl Medina, Catherine Salazar, and Geraldine Pepito.

NBI Director Jaime Santiago revealed that the counter-affidavit was notarized on August 14, even though Guo had already left the Philippines in July, and she had previously testified in a Senate hearing that she signed the document herself.
