Total ban
Alice Guo, Guo Hua Ping, or whatever name that person uses, is still a no-show at the Senate. An arrest warrant has been issued because she refused to return. Perhaps she realizes all her lies have been exposed. Evidence and documents have been presented to prove that she has a name other than Alice Guo. There is even a photo of her attending Grace Christian High School as a child. Her classmates even remember her.
The NBI has also confirmed that Alice Guo and Guo Hua Ping are the same person based on fingerprints. Identical fingerprints cannot belong to different people. Maybe she stopped going to the Senate because she could no longer have an explanation for all the documents presented. She ran to the Supreme Court and asked that the Senate stop calling her as a resource person as well as the quashing of her arrest warrant. Why would the court do that if her true identity and lies had all been exposed?
Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian has said Guo may have left the country using a Chinese passport. She may have two passports because of her two identities. Guo's lawyer insisted that she is still in the country. I don't understand why the Senate did not immediately inform the Bureau of Immigration and issue a watchlist or a hold departure order if she can indeed flee back to China. So much for all her rhetoric about loving the Philippines.
According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, there are 402 illegal POGO’s nationwide. They have information on their locations and operations. Most are POGO’s whose licenses have been canceled while some are scam farms. It's no wonder why illegal POGO’s are widespread throughout the country. You only have to look at Bamban, Tarlac. It is impossible, I repeat, impossible that Mayor Alice Guo was not aware of a POGO right next to her office. Wherever those illegal POGO’s are located, the respective LGU’s have a lot to explain or be held accountable. Mainland Chinese know how easy it is to conduct anything illegal in the Philippines because money can get them anything. Many are now calling for a total ban on POGO’s not only from politicians but business associations, and economic think tanks as well. It is a question of weighing the pros and cons of having the continued presence of POGO’s which proliferated during the past administration. Data provided by the PNP shows that 55% of 31 kidnapping cases were POGO-related. The decision now lies with the president. But if POGO’s bring with them an increase in crime, then the decision to ban them makes sense.
