Marcos said a full-scale investigation is underway and those responsible would be suspended and held accountable "to the fullest extent of the law." "LET ME BE CLEAR: Heads will roll," the President said in a post on X early Wednesday.
"We will expose the culprits who have betrayed the people's trust and aided in her flight." The departure of Guo uncovers the corruption that undermines the country's justice system and erodes public trust, the Chief Executive said.
"There is no room in this government for anyone who places personal interest above serving the Filipino people with honor, integrity and justice," he stressed.
In a message to reporters, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said the President wants the probe to be completed "as soon as feasible." On Tuesday, Malacañang asked the foreign affairs and justice departments to cancel the Philippine passports of Guo and those of her siblings Sheila and Wesley.
In a memorandum dated Aug. 20 addressed to Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo and Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, Bersamin directed the two agencies to take appropriate action to cancel the passports of Guo and her siblings Wesley Leal Guo and Sheila Leal Guo.
