SC asks Senate to comment on Guo petition; no TRO for suspended mayor
The Supreme Court has ordered the Senate panel to submit a comment within 10 days on the petition of suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, seeking to void the Senate's subpoena compelling her attendance at hearings on illegal POGOs.
Guo's petition also includes a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the subpoena and her involvement as a resource person.
However, the Supreme Court has not yet issued a TRO or any other injunctive relief for the suspended mayor.
Mayor Guo had previously missed two Senate hearings, citing health reasons and stress, leading the Senate panel to declare her in contempt and prepare an arrest warrant.
Authorities have filed human trafficking complaints against Guo, identifying her as 'Guo Hua Ping', and the National Bureau of Investigation confirmed her fingerprints match those of Guo Hua Ping, a Chinese passport holder.
