00:00The Department of Foreign Affairs has now cancelled the passport of Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
00:05According to Guo's lawyer, she will continue to receive the Certificate of Candidacy in the election of 2025.
00:11But DOJ said that they are trying to block her.
00:15Witness, Salima Refran.
00:17I am a Filipino, not a spy.
00:23Okay, just relax.
00:27Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo repeatedly denied that she is a Filipino in the hearings of the Senate.
00:33But when the DOJ and NBI issued the Certificate,
00:37Guo's biometrics matched the biometrics of the Chinese, Guo Huaping, from the passport database in the NBI files.
00:46As a result, on September 30, Guo's passport was cancelled.
00:50According to the DFA, it was fraudulently acquired.
00:56Having a falsified birth certificate is already very telling on her character and on what she's all about.
01:06If you try to present yourself as a Filipino, you better be a real Filipino.
01:14Guo's camp has not yet agreed to cancel her passport.
01:18But the DFA also said that they are seriously investigating the Chinese allegation of spying on Guo
01:24who forgot to release the Al Jazeera documentary.
01:28Of course, we're looking into that, but I can't divulge the details.
01:32That's good. I'll just talk to the proper authority.
01:35Investigate it properly so that the truth comes out.
01:39On our part, we're staging legal possibility that Al Jazeera can file a case
01:46against Al Jazeera for this malicious insinuation.
01:49Guo is also facing 87 counts of money laundering,
01:53according to POGO in Bambantarlac, which has a preliminary investigation in the DOJ earlier.
01:58Guo did not arrive here, but Cassandra Lee Ong faced here.
02:02Ong also faced the prosecution panel for the complaint of qualified human trafficking,
02:07according to Lucky South 99 in Porac, Pampanga.
02:11We did not submit yet a counter affidavit,
02:15but we instead asked for an extension.
02:18The DOJ also did not face the preliminary investigation,
02:21according to Alice's brother, Sheila,
02:24because Sheila first needed to face a deportation hearing in the Bureau of Immigration.
02:29The GMA Integrated News tried to get Sheila's hand,
02:33but she did not speak.
02:35According to the BI, it is possible that Alice Guo is also guilty
02:39of a malicious deportation case.
02:41But if it is proven that a local case is guilty here in the Philippines,
02:46it is necessary to file a lawsuit against the court
02:50before the deportation can be carried out.
02:53In spite of the cases and questions facing her Filipino side,
02:58Alice continues to run as the mayor of Bambant.
03:03There are no court decisions as of now that she is not Filipino.
03:09If possible, Guo could face his incumbent councillor
03:13and current acting mayor Erano Timbang,
03:16Tarlac ex-officio board member
03:18and Barangay Anupol chairman Jose Joey Salting Jr.
03:22and former Bamban Mayor Jose Antonio Feliciano.
03:25In tandem with Feliciano, suspended Bamban Vice Mayor Leonardo Ding Anunciacion
03:30is running for his re-election.
03:32The former councillor, Rodolfo Rudy Escoto, is also a candidate.
03:36Solicitor General Menardo Guevara also said
03:39that the COC can still file a lawsuit against Guo
03:42because the cases against him are still pending.
03:45That's why the committee said that they will accept it.
03:48The DOJ is studying Guo's candidacy.
03:52Well, I wouldn't say it's her right.
03:56She can try, but I wouldn't say it's her right
03:59because she's not Filipino and she bears falsified documents.
