Former Mayor Alice Guo Experiences Stomachache Amid Detention
ALICE GUO – The dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor is suffering from stomach pain due to the tap water inside the detention facility.
A few days ago, former Mayor Guo was arrested by the authorities in Indonesia. She was specifically located and arrested by the Indonesian authorities in Jakarta reportedly through a SIM card. The former Mayor has been into hiding since July.
Previously, an arrest order was released by the Senate against Guo after she ditched the Senate hearings set to investigate her alleged involvement in the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming operations in her town. She’s also questioned about her identity.
Aside from Guo, Cassandra Li Ong, an alleged POGO representative, and Shiela Guo who was previously identified as the sister of the former Mayor were also detained in Indonesia and sent home to the Philippines. Shiela Guo claimed that the former Mayor is not her sister.
Amid the authorities’ pursuit to locate Alice Guo who reportedly exited the Philippines and went to Malaysia then to Singapore and Indonesia, they alerted the foreign authorities regarding the case of the former Mayor. The Indonesian authorities acted fast in locating Guo.
Guo was brought back to the Philippines on Friday, September 6. She is currently under the custody of the Philippine National Police after a graft and corruption case was filed against her in Tarlac. Meanwhile, the Court allowed her to attend the Senate hearing set today, Monday.
Former Mayor Alice Guo is detained in the same custodial room where former senator Leila de Lima was detained. She stayed in the facility for 7 years due to drug charges that were later on dismissed by the Court.
The Philippine National Police assured the public that there will be no special treatment for Guo. According to the PNP, she will stay in a simple bedroom with one (1) bed, a table, and its own bathroom. The police authorities also said that she will have a ceiling fan in her room as it is not airconditioned.
Based on a recent post of Inquirer, former Mayor Alice Guo is suffering from stomach pain over the weekend due to the tap water in her detention facility. Meanwhile, based on the post, she has arrived at the Senate for the hearing.
