The Philippine Star|September 03, 2024
Due to bad weather that prompted the suspension of work in government offices yesterday, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) gave dismissed Bamban mayor Alice Guo another day to submit her counter-affidavit on the charges of misrepresentation filed against her by the poll body.

Comelec Chairman George Garcia also made it clear there will be no more extension of the deadline for Guo’s submission of her counter-affidavit, and that her failure to meet today’s deadline would leave the poll body with no choice but to proceed with case resolution.

“Our Law Department will have to proceed. It’s sad if this case gets decided on without us getting comment from the respondent,” he said. “That’s why we extended the filing period to giver her the chance to give intelligent response to the complaint.”

The complaint, which is criminal in nature, is punishable by imprisonment of one to six years as well as perpetual disqualification from holding public office, Garcia said.
