Guevarra said in an interview with "Storycon" on One News that none of the cases against Guo, including the ombudsman's decision dismissing her from service, has attained finality.
"If the question is whether she can file her certificate of candidacy, the answer is yes. It's ministerial on the part of the Comelec (Commission on Elections) to accept her certificate of candidacy. But whether she'll be able to or be qualified to run or not is another matter. That's a totally different matter," Guevarra said in English and Filipino.
"The cases that have been filed against Alice Guo, none of them have achieved finality. The one from ombudsman, which is the decision that dismissed and disqualified her perpetually from running for public office, I believe that is still not final," he added.
The same is true for the other cases filed against her, including the quo warranto and the petition for the cancellation of Guo's birth certificate.
