Guo faces human trafficking charge
By J.Lo
"Among other evidence is her name appearing in several documents in POGO compound," Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) chairperson and Justice Undersecretary Nicky Ty said government's anti-crime body and police filed criminal complaint against suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo before Department of Justice in connection to raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in her municipality.
Complaint charges Guo and others with non-bailable offense of qualified human trafficking. This was filed by Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission and the Philippine National Police - Criminal Investigation and Detection group.
In press briefing, Ty said multiple pieces of evidence have come out justifying case, such as her application of letter of no objection from the local government and her involvement with the lesser company.
Ty stressed that they have also started to process immigration lookout bulletin order against Guo, which does not prevent her from leaving but directs Bureau of Immigration to be on lookout for them.
Those facing complaint include former Technology and Resource Center director general Dennis Cunanan and 12 other Chinese nationals who held positions at Zun Yuan Technology Inc., Hongsheng Gaming Technology Inc. and Baofu Corporation, according to press briefer provided to reporters.
Benjamin Samson, IACAT prosecutor, said they have found enough evidence that shows three companies are part of "grand conspiracy" to commit labor trafficking.
"In one of the corporations, we found document wherein name of Mr. Dennis Cunanan appeared…after piecing together pieces of evidence, we concluded and we decided that he is part of grand conspiracy to commit labor trafficking," he added.
On June 3, Guo was placed on preventive suspension by Office of the Ombudsman for up to six months in connection to graft charges filed against her by Department of Interior and Local Government.
This administrative case against Guo stems from allegation that she had allowed illegal POGOs to operate in her municipality. DILG questioned in its complaint whether Guo had truly divested from real estate firm Baofu, which houses illegal POGO hub in Bamban.
On June 18, Guo's camp wrote to Malacañang denying all allegations against her related to human trafficking, kidnapping and money laundering.
