Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, who has been accused of being a Chinese spy, has filed a petition to stop a deportation case against her.
Deportation proceedings began for former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo. However, her camp has taken legal action to counter this move.
Guo has filed a petition for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) with Branch 47 of the Manila Regional Trial Court in relation to her deportation case.
Hearings and oral arguments on the matter began on December 3, 2024.
"There was a hearing regarding the TRO on Ma'am Alice's pending immigration case, so today we had oral arguments for the petition we filed," said Nicole Jamilla, Guo's lawyer.
Based on an investigation by the National Bureau of Investigation, Guo's fingerprints matched those of a Chinese national named Guo Hua Ping.
Lawmakers claim that Alice Guo and Guo Hua Ping are the same person.
However, Guo has previously insisted that she is a Filipino. Her lawyer also asserted that Guo is a Filipino and there is no indication that she is a Chinese citizen.
The former mayor's camp clarified that Guo has several pending cases, including qualified human trafficking in the Pasig RTC and material misrepresentation before the Commission on Elections.
Guo's camp believes they have sufficient evidence to fight the deportation case.
This is a document about the arraignment of Alice Guo for misrepresentation. It discusses the charges against her and the court proceedings. The Tarlac RTC has set the arraignment for December 5, 2024.
The controversial mayor is also facing a non-bailable charge of qualified human trafficking for allegedly conspiring to allow an illegal POGO in her town, aside from graft charges.
She has also been implicated as a potential "agent of influence." While the National Bureau of Investigation has linked her fingerprints to a Chinese national, concrete evidence of her being a spy is still lacking.
She has denied all accusations against her.
