00:00 Despite her saying that she was on a farm that she stayed for several years.
00:05 During the 2022 election, Alice Guo's name suddenly appeared and the mayor of Bamban ran as an independent candidate.
00:18 Thank you very much for your support to my team, Alice Guo.
00:23 [Cheering]
00:25 Based on her statement of contributions and expenditures, she spent more than P130,000 in the campaign.
00:35 For an LGU position, that's very difficult.
00:39 Especially since she was an opponent, she was a barangay chairperson.
00:44 How did she do that? How did she win in Bamban?
00:49 I guess she endeared herself to the people by whatever means.
00:55 Until recently, she was very active on social media.
00:59 Of course, it's a big help if there are people who endorse her.
01:02 It's really amazing.
01:04 We got the opinion of a political analyst about what happened to Mayor Alice Guo.
01:11 Because what we're talking about here is the integrity of our election.
01:15 Our candidates, the voters, should be the first to agree with the law.
01:25 Let's vote for my team!
01:28 If her identity or nationality is questionable, how did she manage to run?
01:35 Did she really get a vet?
01:37 Because that's the job of a comelec.
01:40 Especially when we're talking about the basic things, like is she a citizen?
01:48 Thank you very much!
01:50 The duty of the commission is ministerial,
01:54 where we will receive the certificates of candidacy
01:57 as long as all the items in the form of COC are complete and this is under oath.
02:03 That means we don't have the power to request additional documents
02:08 because we cannot reject the filing of the certificates of candidacy.
02:16 In the several times that Guo was asked about the Senate,
02:20 she repeatedly said that she is a Filipino.
02:24 I am a Filipino.
02:25 What is the implication if it is proven that she is not a Filipino citizen?
02:31 If Mayor Alice Guo is proven to be not Filipino,
02:33 one immediate implication is that she might be removed from the position of mayor.
02:39 Guo repeatedly said that she is a simple citizen.
02:43 You have assets of almost 300 million pesos, Mayor,
02:46 so for me, she's not just a simple person.
02:49 But in the documents obtained by the Senate in the Land Transportation Office or LTO,
02:54 16 vehicles were registered under the name of Mayor Guo.
02:59 Some of these are luxury cars whose prices are not less than 4 million pesos.
03:05 Why does it matter? Because she's a Filipino government official.
03:10 For you to be official in the government, you simply need to be Filipino.
03:15 If you cannot say or show consistently your documents, it will be insecure.
03:23 Do you believe that she is not a Maclaren?
03:26 She said that she was just borrowed.
03:29 She said that she was in a buy-and-sell.
03:31 When we first saw the conduction sticker,
03:35 when we raised it in the LTO,
03:37 it was not on a Maclaren, but on a Hamac utility vehicle.
03:43 And two days later, we saw the Maclaren again,
03:46 but the conduction sticker was gone.
03:48 There is no document that will prove that I am the owner, Your Honor.
03:52 Because there was a car show in Tarlac at that time.
03:56 There is no document. I just borrowed it.
03:59 In the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth or SALEN issued by Mayor Guo by the Senate,
04:05 it was declared that he owns three dump trucks worth 2 million pesos each,
04:11 a motor vehicle worth 11 million pesos,
04:14 and a helicopter worth 60 million pesos.
04:18 But Guo said that he sold the chopper to a British company in 2024.
04:24 I really wanted to do business with the chopper.
04:26 I wanted to make it like an air taxi.
04:29 However, it did not push through.
04:31 I just sold it.
04:33 His cash-in-bank is worth 200 million pesos.
04:36 He also declared liabilities of 250 million pesos.
04:41 Aside from the vehicles,
04:43 Guo also looked into several businesses.
04:47 In the documents issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the SEC,
04:52 it was found that before Guo joined politics,
04:56 he was already an incorporator and major shareholder of 11 companies since 2010.
05:02 One of these is the QJJ Embroidery Center in Valenzuela City, which is the listed address.
05:08 When I checked this in our business permit section,
05:13 there was no such company in Valenzuela now and in the past.
05:17 Now, there is no such company.
05:19 Before, I did not know because I was just a child.
05:22 Okay.
05:22 Yes. I'm sorry.
05:24 And then when I checked this 58 T. Santiago,
05:28 this address is exactly the same address where one of our friends lives.
05:34 Aside from the embroidery business,
05:38 there is also a meat shop, slaughterhouse, smelting plant, and farm that is registered to Guo.
05:44 Even if you add up all the income of those,
05:48 Can you do it?
05:49 Even if you add up all the income, you cannot afford one pogo.
05:52 It's too much.
05:53 It's too much.
05:54 Aside from his equity, the land.
05:57 Mayor Guo is also an incorporator in Bawful Land Development, Inc.
06:04 But it came out in a survey of two of Guo's co-incorporators
06:08 that they are involved in the largest money laundering case in Singapore.
06:13 I did some research through Google and I saw that
06:18 the two are involved in money laundering in Singapore.
06:24 And I just found out yesterday when I saw your Facebook post, Madam Chairman.
06:30 Do you believe her? Almost completely unbelievable.
06:34 Who is it that will buy the land that he bought from the original owners over time,
06:42 which constituted almost 8 hectares,
06:45 and will put it as equity in a business?
06:49 It's a huge business.
06:51 Pogo.
06:52 Even if they don't know who will be my co-incorporators
06:57 in my precious land and in a big business.
07:03 Just this Tuesday, Reporters Notebook went to the municipality of Bambantarlak
07:10 to send an invitation to Mayor Alice Guo for an interview.
07:15 We also went to the declared address of the mayor
07:18 in the documents submitted to the Senate.
07:21 But until now, he hasn't responded to our letters.
07:26 We also talked to several residents of Bambantarlak.
07:30 I heard something but I didn't see it.
07:33 It was just a sudden election.
07:36 And then suddenly, he introduced himself.
07:40 I've seen Mayor since I was a child in his farm.
07:45 From what we know, he's a good mayor.
07:50 Just this May 21, Mayor Guo released an announcement on his social media page.
07:55 Here, he again denied his involvement in the illegal operation of Pogo
07:59 in the Baufu compound in the city of Bambantarlak.
08:02 He also said that he's not a spy of any country,
08:05 just like what he's being accused of.
08:08 He also said that his municipality doesn't accept any report
08:12 on the illegal activities inside Pogo
08:15 before it was operated by the authorities.
