The Philippine National Police (PNP) expressed optimism on Sunday for a "positive development" that would facilitate the return of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo to the Philippines to face charges against her.
In an interview with Tuesday Niu on Super Radyo DZBB, PNP Spokesperson Police Col. Jean Fajardo shared that efforts are ongoing to locate the former mayor and several persons of interest. The PNP is working closely with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the Bureau of Immigration (BI), and their international counterparts to track her down.
"Hopefully, katulad sa kaso nina Cassandra Li Ong, at Shiela Guo, magkaroon din ng positive development at maiuwi natin si Alice Guo, pabalik ng bansa," Fajardo stated. (Hopefully, similar to what happened with Cassandra Li Ong and Shiela Guo, there will be a positive development, and we can bring Alice Guo back to the country.)
Both Cassandra Li Ong and Shiela Guo were apprehended in Indonesia and brought back to the Philippines last week. They are currently under the custody of the NBI and are scheduled to appear in a Senate hearing on Tuesday.
Indonesian authorities detained Shiela Guo, the sister of Alice Guo, and Cassandra Li Ong, the authorized representative of a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) raided in Porac, Pampanga for alleged illegal activities. Alice Guo is facing charges related to a raided POGO hub in Bamban.
Fajardo added that the PNP is ready to provide "all necessary police assistance" if requested by the NBI, noting that the police are deferring to the NBI's lead on the case.
Authorities have suggested that Alice Guo and her associates might be attempting to flee to the Golden Triangle to evade law enforcement.
