OSG eyes filing quo warranto case vs Alice Guo before end-July
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) plans to file a quo warranto petition against suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo before the end of July.
Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra stated that new evidence from the Senate investigation into an alleged illegal POGO operation in Bamban is being incorporated into their case, which has caused delays in the filing.
The quo warranto petition questions Mayor Guo's Filipino citizenship, linking her to the POGO hub that was raided in her town.
Mayor Guo has denied the allegations and affirmed her Filipino citizenship.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will visit Bamban on Thursday, July 25, to secure documents for the case, including the election day computerized voters list.
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia is also offering its evidence against Guo, specifically the evaluation of the mayor's fingerprints when she filed her Certificate of Candidacy in 2021 and when she voted in May 2022.
