Guo denies criminal liability over 'fake' counter-affidavit
The Philippine Star|November 06, 2024
Dismissed mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac insisted she is not criminally liable for the signed counter-affidavit she submitted for the human trafficking case lodged against her in her alleged involvement in illegal operations of a Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO).
DAPHNE GALVEZ

In a 17-page counter-affidavit submitted before the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Nov. 5, Guo said the complaints of falsification, use of falsified documents and perjury filed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against her should be outrightly dismissed.

She claimed the allegations against her are only meant to "vex, annoy and harass" her and the complaint is "replete with falsehoods, concocted lies and unfounded assertions unsubstantiated by any concrete, credible and authenticated evidence."
