ALICE GUO – The suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor who recently celebrated her birthday took to social media a lengthy statement.

Aside from her alleged involvement in POGOs in Tarlac, Guo is also facing questions about her identity. Previously, the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI confirmed that Mayor Alice Guo’s fingerprints also matched the fingerprints of Guo Hua Ping. It suggests that they are the same person.
Mayor Guo skipped the latest Senate hearing as she is allegedly “traumatized” by how she was dealth as per her lawyer. The said claim was not bought by the lawmakers as Senator Risa Hontiveros reminded the Mayor and her camp prior to the hearing of their obligations to respect the law.

Sen. Hontiveros also downplayed the “self-incrimination” claim of Guo’s camp saying that the Supreme Court only recognize self-incrimination if there is a question raised. Following her absence to the Senate hearing, Guo was cited in contempt.
A letter addressed to the Senate President must be written by the Senate committee that cited Guo in contempt. Once approved, an arrest order may be released against the suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor.
Recently, Mayor Alice Guo celebrated her birthday. She took to social media a heartfelt and lengthy statement expressing her gratitude to her fellow officials and her constituents in Bamban, Tarlac.
