Suspended Bamban Mayor Guo avoids subpoena service

Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo has not been seen at her farm in Tarlac for several weeks, according to information provided by one of her helpers.

Attempts by the Office of the Sergeant-at-Arms (OSAA) to serve subpoenas to Mayor Guo and her family members were unsuccessful as both a helper and personal secretary refused to accept them.

Despite these refusals, copies of the subpoenas were left with the helper at the farm and in Guo's office for when she or her siblings might return.

On July 5, Guo’s legal counsel Nicole Jamilla received the subpoena on behalf of Alice Guo alone, stating that they do not represent Mayor Guo’s family members.

The investigation by the Senate Committee continues to focus on a raided POGO hub in Bamban and questions surrounding Guo's citizenship and involvement with criminal syndicates.
