00:00Advertisements of perjury, obstruction of justice, falsification by a notary public, and use of falsified documents were added to the faces of Dismissed Bamban Tanlac Mayor Alice Guo.
00:14The allegation of a Chinese spy, Guo, has also been investigated, which she also denied.
00:20The first news is from Salima Refran.
00:24Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo herself said that she is no longer in the country to file her counter-affidavit in August.
00:33I signed the last page of the document.
00:36Where did you sign it?
00:38I signed it before I left.
00:40Who prepared this page for you to sign?
00:46There was a case filed against me that invoked my right.
00:50Her secretary also supported her statement.
00:54Who took the document?
00:56It was in the drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
01:00She said that I attached it to the last page of her affidavit.
01:05All of this was excluded from the process of being a notary public.
01:10I am a victim. I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
01:16But the task force of the NBI also discovered something.
01:21The signature there is not a signature of Ms. Alice Guo.
01:24It was proven that the sample signatures appearing on all those documents,
01:30as compared to the supposed signature appearing on the counter-affidavit,
01:36were actually not written by one and the same person.
01:39So basically what this actually means is that the signature on the counter-affidavit is different.
01:45It is not yet known who signed it.
01:48But it is clear that the document is falsified.
01:52It is irregular.
01:54The affidavit should be signed in the presence of the notary public.
02:01Guo or Guo Huaping is facing allegations of perjury, obstruction of justice,
02:07falsification by a notary public, and use of falsified document.
02:12Attorney Elmer Galicia is also accused of notary public on the counter-affidavit.
02:16Guo's men, including Kat Salazar, who was the body double of the former mayor,
02:22another staff member, Geraldine Pepito,
02:24and the secretary of Sual Pangasinan Mayor Liceldo Calugay, Cheryl Medina,
02:30and a lawyer who talked to Attorney Galicia.
02:34Galicia is also facing a disbarment case in the Supreme Court.
02:39This is a message to our fellow lawyers that we should obey the law.
02:44And if you are caught doing something, it will be dealt with severely.
02:50These allegations are added to the legal cases that Guo is facing.
02:54However, the allegations will go through the evaluation of the National Prosecution Service
02:59before it is sent to the Preliminary Investigation.
03:02Meanwhile, the investigation of Guo continues,
03:05as well as the allegations that he is a Chinese spy.
03:09These allegations are very serious allegations.
03:11We take them seriously.
03:13It's number one.
03:15Especially, SP Natchez is involved.
03:18As the Department of Foreign Affairs,
03:20it also monitors the reports about the foreign covert operations in the country.
03:25This is also in line with the allegation that Guo is a Chinese spy
03:29based on the documentary released by Al Jazeera a while ago.
03:33In accordance with its mandate to help protect national security,
03:37the department takes such reports seriously
03:39and is monitoring relevant developments in this regard.
03:42This is the first news in Lima, Refran for GMA Integrated News.
