New information about the female Philippine mayor suspected of being Chinese

During a meeting with reporters today, Clavano said that Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban town has not left the Philippines based on information he received from other agencies, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer .

Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban town (Philippines) is suspended from office.

During a Senate hearing on July 29, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Assistant Director Angelito Magno said there were reports of Guo being seen in Bulacan province. However, Magno noted that the sightings were made before the Senate issued an arrest warrant for her on July 11.

Ms. Guo was issued an arrest warrant by the Senate for failing to attend a hearing on charges of involvement in illegal offshore gambling companies in the Philippines. She has been suspended from her position.

Also on July 29, NBI Director Jaime Santiago announced that agents and intelligence units from NBI headquarters were conducting a manhunt for Ms. Guo. Ms. Guo’s lawyer Stephen David confirmed about two weeks ago that his client was still in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, The Filipino Times quoted Philippine Senator Sherwin Gatchalian as saying that Ms. Guo may have left the Philippines using a Chinese passport.

According to the NBI, Ms. Guo and Chinese citizen Guo Hua Ping are the same person. Congressman Gatchalian said Ms. Guo used her Philippine and Chinese passports from 2008 to 2011.

Previously, Ms. Guo claimed that she was a Filipino citizen and the illegitimate child of her father and his maid. She even produced a birth certificate showing her mother's name as Amelia Leal.

However, Senator Risa Hontiveros presented several documents to the media showing a suspected relationship between Ms. Guo and a Chinese citizen named Lam Van Y.

Hontiveros noted that Lam was one of Guo’s co-founders of at least seven businesses. Gatchalian had previously said local residents could confirm that Lam was referred to as Guo’s mother.
