Marcos vows consequences for officials linked to Guo’s escape
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Tuesday that he has a very good idea of who will face consequences following the escape of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.
Marcos confirmed during a press conference with Palace reporters and later in a Senate inquiry that Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla had informed him about the matter and stressed that there are no sacred cows in the investigation, which is almost complete.
The president revealed that he was kept in the dark by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) regarding Guo's illegal departure from the country and vowed that heads will roll over the incident.
During the Senate hearing, Shiela Guo, Alice’s sister, admitted that they left the Philippines via a small boat around the first week of July.
Marcos emphasized that those involved in helping Guo leave the country, including immigration personnel, will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
