Alice Guo, 13 others face criminal complaint over ‘ties’ to illegal POGO
Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo and 13 others are facing a qualified trafficking complaint filed by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) before the Department of Justice.
The complaint stems from alleged ties to the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) Zun Yuan Technology Incorporated, which operated in Bamban.
PAOCC believes Mayor Guo was involved in the detention of individuals by Zun Yuan.
Qualified trafficking is a non-bailable offense carrying a penalty of life imprisonment.
Authorities are also preparing to file a request for an immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) to monitor the movements of Guo and the other respondents.
Guo has belied the allegations, stating they should be backed by substantial evidence and that she is prepared to address them.
