A Senate committee on Wednesday ordered the issuance of an arrest order against suspended Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo after she skipped the resumption of the investigation on the raided POGO hub in her town. Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada moved to issue the arrest order against Guo, which was eventually approved by Senator Risa Hontiveros, the chairperson of Committee on women, children, family relations, and gender equality.
In making the motion, Gatchalian said dismissing the subpoenas issued by the committee is a disrespect to the Senate as an institution and its processes to uncover the truth. Hontiveros said Guo has sent a letter to the committee saying she could not attend the hearing due to health and mental health concerns.The letter, however, was not backed by a medical certificate, Hontiveros said."We find her claims in the letter void of credibility," Hontiveros said.
