Suspended Tarlac Mayor Guo in PH, faces arrest, trafficking charges
Suspended Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo remains in the Philippines, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which confirmed her presence based on information from other agencies.
Guo faces an arrest order from the Senate and a human trafficking complaint related to an illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in Bamban, Tarlac.
The next preliminary hearing for Guo's trafficking case is scheduled for August 6, where she has the opportunity to submit a counter-affidavit.
Guo's lawyer, Atty. Stephen David, confirmed that his client assured him of her presence in the country on Wednesday night.
Despite this assurance, David said it is unlikely that Guo will attend Senate hearings.
The Office of the Solicitor General has filed a quo warranto petition against Guo seeking to cancel her birth certificate and remove her from public office.
