Senate lifts contempt order on Shiela Guo

The Senate committee on women, children, family relations, and gender equality lifted the contempt order against Shiela Guo, who is also known as Zhang Mier and Guo Hua Ping.

Senator Risa Hontiveros directed the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms to transfer Guo to the Bureau of Immigration (BI) custody, as Guo faces alleged immigration violations.

Shiela Guo admitted that Alice Guo is not her biological sister.

She was initially cited in contempt and arrested by the Senate in July for her absence at probes regarding her connections with POGOs.

She was identified as a co-incorporator in Baofu Land Development Incorporated, which leased its land to a POGO in Bamban raided for human trafficking.

In her defense, Shiela Guo stated she was only asked to sign documents related to POGO operations by her sister or other family members.
