PNP has released the mugshots of Alice Guo
ALICE GUO – The Philippine National Police (PNP) released the mugshots of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor (also known as Guo Hua Ping) on Friday, September 6, following her return to the Philippines.
Guo was arrested in Jakarta, Indonesia, on September 4 and handed over to Philippine authorities on September 5. She arrived in the Philippines in the early hours of September 6, accompanied by Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos and PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil on a private plane. Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco confirmed her arrival. Upon landing, the BI took legal custody of Guo, while the PNP retained physical custody. Guo faces charges of undesirability and misrepresentation under Philippine immigration laws.
During a press briefing, Abalos reassured Guo that she would receive protection amid the threats to her life, encouraging her to provide all information regarding the individuals involved in her case. Guo expressed relief at seeing Philippine officials, stating that she felt safer in their presence.
After her arrival, Guo was taken to Camp Crame and later to the Senate for further legal proceedings. She is facing multiple charges, including graft, money laundering, and human trafficking, connected to illegal gambling operations in her hometown of Bamban, Tarlac.
Her arrest occurred just days after her alleged sister, Shiela, and a gaming hub representative, Cassandra Ong, were also arrested in Indonesia. Guo is also facing deportation for allegedly acquiring her Filipino citizenship through fraudulent means. She will be detained at the Senate as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, Sen. Risa Hontiveros reminded everyone, especially government officials, that Alice Guo is a fugitive, not a celebrity for selfies. Abalos, however, explained that the photo was taken for documentation purposes after Guo requested to discuss death threats she had received. Abalos assured her of safety and emphasized the importance of her truthfulness, adding that he was unaware of Guo’s candid pose during the photo.
