Defining the News
THE search is on for Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, suspended preventively by the Ombudsman on May 31, and cited in contempt and ordered arrested by the Senate for twice refusing to appear in its continuing hearings.The orders, signed by Senate President Francis Escudero and Senate committee chairman Risa Hontiveros, were issued after the Court of Appeals granted the petition of the Anti-Money Laundering Council to freeze Guo’s assets, her business associates and companies owned by her family.
A total 90 bank accounts across 14 financial institutions, 27 land titles and other high-value personal properties of Guo and six other individuals, and six companies were also included in the court order. The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission also filed qualified trafficking charges before the Department of Justice against Guo and 13 others over their alleged involvement in the operation of a POGO hub in Bamban, Tarlac that was raided in March.
But the legal scenario is getting knotty, as Guo was not in her Bamban farm where members of the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms went to serve the arrest warrant.
