Spy Who Claimed Alice Guo is a Chinese Agent Unreachable: Hontiveros

The self-confessed spy who claimed that Alice Guo is a Chinese agent has been transferred to a different prison facility in Thailand and is currently unreachable.

Senator Risa Hontiveros revealed this in a statement released on October 17, 2024. Hontiveros reported that the suspected spy named She Zhijiang, who was imprisoned in Thailand, could not be contacted. The Senator stressed that the government should urgently reach out to the prisoner.

“We have learned from media sources that She — who is charged with illegally operating a casino — is currently unreachable and has been moved to a different prison facility,” Hontiveros said, as reported by ABS-CBN News.

She made the allegation against Guo whose real name is believed to be Guo Hua Ping during a documentary released by media outfit Al Jazeera.

“Kung hindi agarang kikilos ang pamahalaan, mawawalan tayo ng pagkakataon na pag-aralan ang impormasyon na hawak ni She, lalo na sa koneksyon ni Guo Hua Ping, at ng iba pang indibidwal, sa Ministry of State Security, o ang intelligence at secret police agency ng Tsina,” Hontiveros continued.

“I am holding the Department of Foreign Affairs to its commitment during the latest Senate hearing that it is urgently exhausting all diplomatic and legal channels to allow Philippine officials, with permission by Thai authorities, to communicate with She.”

Part of the documentary, which was presented during a Senate hearing last September 28, prompted her to lose cool as she scrambled to say she was not a spy as authorities claim. The dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor is also facing allegations of being linked to Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators.
