00:00 In the middle of the questions regarding the appointment of Mayor Alice Guo,
00:05 GMA Integrated News analyzed some of her Certificates of Candidacy.
00:10 We also collected a copy of her certificate from Banban where she mentioned her father.
00:15 We also tried to interview her but she was not in her office.
00:19 Ian Cruz was interviewed.
00:25 Just yesterday, Mayor Alice Guo attended the flag raising ceremony of Banban based on her Facebook page.
00:32 She also helped some officials and barangay leaders.
00:36 But Mayor Alice Guo was not in her office earlier.
00:39 GMA Integrated News came back several times since yesterday.
00:43 We asked her to be briefed and then answer some questions regarding her appointment in the Senate.
00:50 And the next question was from Senator Risa Ontiveros if Mayor Guo is a Chinese.
00:55 At the 2022 Proclamation Rally, before the Mayor of Banban won,
01:00 she asked Guo some questions.
01:03 Many people are asking who is Alice Guo.
01:08 I am Alice Guo from Barangay Virgen de los Remedios.
01:13 My mother is Filipino.
01:15 My father is Chinese.
01:18 I am a Filipino citizen and I have a heart of Banban.
01:25 But when Ontiveros arrived at Guo's birth certificate,
01:28 her father was declared Filipino but the declaration in the business records was Chinese National.
01:35 No, no, I will not push you.
01:40 In the 2022 elections, Guo ran as an independent candidate.
01:45 She earned more than 134,000 pesos in the campaign
01:49 based on her Statement of Contributions and Expenditures or SOSE
01:54 issued by the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality.
01:59 She also received a certificate of candidacy
02:02 from GMA Integrated News Research in the Comelec Central Office
02:06 on the basis that she was born in Tarlac, Tarlac in 1986.
02:10 It is also stated here that in October 2021, she has been a resident of Bamban for more than 18 years.
02:16 I talked to the captain of Barangay Virgen de los Remedios in Bamban
02:20 and he said that he has seen Guo before.
02:23 Around 2005, I saw the mayor.
02:28 They also talked around 2008 for the documents for the farm
02:33 which is next to the farm of Cap's family.
02:36 This is now being separated as an access road to New Clark City.
02:40 They also said that before because they are applying for a resolution in the barangay.
02:44 The captain, Guo's father, and a brother were also seen there but not his mother, the Filipino.
02:51 The Senate is now investigating what Guo's relationship with ZUN U1 Technology,
02:56 the POGO behind the municipality of Bamban,
02:59 which was raided this March due to human trafficking and serious human illegal detention.
03:04 According to Senator Wynne Gatchalian,
03:06 there was a bill found inside the bill in the mail named "Humano sa Alcalde".
03:11 Another vehicle found in POGO was also registered to Guo.
03:15 Next, we called and emailed all our available contacts to Mayor Guo but he did not answer.
03:22 But Guo said that he was aware of the illegal activities in POGO Hub.
03:28 The vehicle named after him has been sold for a long time
03:32 and because he is the former owner of the POGO land,
03:35 his name may not be removed from the record of the Electric Cooperative.
