A Tarlac court has allowed ex-Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to attend the Senate probe on Monday, September 9.
The Capas, Tarlac Regional Trial Court Branch 109 issued an order on September 6, granting Senator Risa Hontiveros' request for Guo's attendance.
The court directed the Philippine National Police (PNP) to bring Guo to the Senate, as she is currently detained at the PNP Custodial Center at Camp Crame.
Guo did not post bail for her two graft cases, opting to remain in PNP custody.
Her lawyer cited another arrest order and Guo's feeling of safety in police custody as reasons for not posting bail.
