The Tarlac City Regional Trial Court Branch 111 declared the birth certificate of former Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo as void on September 24, 2025.

This court decision followed a petition filed by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) in July 2024, with the PSA recommending cancellation due to inconsistencies in Guo's testimonies and authenticity of documents supporting her Filipino citizenship.

Guo, identified as Chinese national Guo Hua Ping, is currently detained facing multiple charges including falsification of public documents, human trafficking, and graft.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) lauded the ruling, with Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado calling it a 'landmark victory' amid President Marcos' directive to uphold the integrity of Philippine identity and civil registry documents.

The BI will continue to coordinate with the Department of Justice and other agencies to deport foreigners posing as Filipinos.
