00:00 Bamban Mayor Alice Guo asked the Ombudsman to rescind her suspension, asserting none

00:06 of her actions broke any laws.

00:08 Guo's 31-page motion for reconsideration challenges the Ombudsman's May 31 order,

00:14 suspending her for six months due to lack of strong evidence of guilt.

00:18 The motion says the allegations are based on mere surmises, speculations, and opinions.

00:24 The Department of Interior and Local Government earlier said their complaint against the Bamban

00:28 Mayor falls under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

00:32 But the graft complaint was not mentioned in the Ombudsman's suspension order.

00:36 Guo greenlit the business permits of Zunyu One Technology Inc., a pogo accused of human

00:42 trafficking.

00:43 Guo is also connected to the Bamban Pogo as one of the original owners of Baofu Land,

00:48 the company that owns the compound where Zunyu One operates.

00:52 Guo insists she has divested from Baofu Land.
