Sen. Escudero, dismayado sa PNP na 'di mahanap si Alice Guo'; NBI, hinikayat ang alkalde na 'sumuko'
Senate President Francis Escudero described it as "embarrassing" that the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other law enforcement agencies have been unable to locate suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to serve her arrest warrant.
The Bureau of Immigration confirmed that both Guo and fugitive televangelist Apollo Quiboloy remain within the Philippines, adding to the concern.
Escudero also pointed out that other individuals facing serious criminal charges and with arrest warrants, such as former BuCor chief Gerald Bantag, also remain at large.
Despite the perceived failure in apprehending these individuals, Escudero stated that it should not be a basis for reducing the budgets of the PNP and NBI, emphasizing the need to consider all circumstances.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has urged Guo to surrender.
