Mayor Guo surfaces... on FB
The Philippine Star|July 20, 2024
Her whereabouts unknown since being ordered arrested by the Senate, suspended Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac appeared on Facebook (Meta) yesterday to deny she was behind an alleged plot to assassinate Senators Sherwin Gatchalian and Risa Hontiveros, who are leading an investigation on her possible links to illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs).
BELLA CARIASO

In a post shared by her legal counsel Stephen David, Guo also defended her decision not to appear before the Senate committee on women, children, family and gender equality chaired by Hontiveros, saying her health and peace of mind are her priority.

“I categorically deny any involvement in the death threats received by Sen. Win Gatchalian. I have no capacity, much less intent, to cause any harm against anyone. In fact, I myself have been receiving actual and online threats since the start of this issue,” she said on Facebook where she has more than 100,000 followers.

“I am well-aware of the feeling of receiving threats against my person, safety and security. Thus, I strongly condemn such inhumane or callous acts,” Guo said.

Her counsel David is in Europe.

She said the last two Senate hearings which she attended left her severely exhausted and traumatized.

“My primary priority now is my health and peace of mind, so that I can properly address all the legal issues directed at me,” Guo maintained.
