Alice unbowed
The Philippine Star|October 04, 2024
Dismissed as mayor of Bamban, Tarlac and detained without bail, Alice Guo is unbowed. Yesterday, as the latest complaint was filed against her by the National Bureau of Investigation for falsification of documents, her lawyer Stephen David announced that she would seek reelection in 2025.

Government lawyers and Commission on Elections officials have said that Guo can run for public office in the absence of a final ruling on the multiple cases filed against her for offenses including faking her Philippine citizenship, misrepresentation in her candidacy in 2022 and the numerous criminal activities linked to an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator hub in Bamban.

If Guo pushes through with her bid for reelection, it would not be entirely unique.
