00:00It has been a hot issue for months as to who is the controversial and suspended mayor of Bambantarlac, Alice Guo.
00:13In the past few months, the public has been watching her TV series about her in the Senate.
00:22Where were you born?
00:24Your Honor, they told me that I was born in my house.
00:27Where is your house?
00:29Your Honor, I don't know.
00:30Where did you finish your elementary school?
00:32I went to home school, Your Honor.
00:34Because we live in a farm.
00:36I also have a teacher, Your Honor.
00:39My teacher is Teacher Ruby Ling.
00:41Amelia Leal, my biological mother.
00:44Did you know that your mother is Filipino?
00:47Yes, that's what my father told me.
00:51Since Pogo's operation in Bambantarlac,
00:56the investigation was conducted on a person and his true identity.
01:06The suspended mayor of Bambantarlac, Alice Leal Guo.
01:12I grew up in a farm.
01:14I grew up in a farm.
01:15I grew up in a farm.
01:16I grew up in a farm.
01:17In a farm?
01:18What? Don't be a robot.
01:20Because of some information that was discovered
01:23from the cut-up documents
01:26and the untrue statements of the mayor,
01:29the judges have doubts.
01:32The mystery will be revealed to her.
01:34Would you speak in Kapampangan if you grew up in Bambantarlac?
01:39Madam Senator, I only know a little in Kapampangan.
01:43What Chinese language do you speak? Fukian or Mandarin?
01:46I can speak Fukian.
01:47Okay, speak in Fukian now.
01:48I can speak Fukian.
01:49I can speak Fukian.
01:50I can speak Fukian.
01:51I can speak Fukian.
01:52But after hundreds of hearings,
01:54the evidences against Mayor Guo were released one after another.
01:59We did more research.
02:02As long as the truth about his identity came out.
02:07First, the copy of the SIRV, or Special Investor's Resident Visa,
02:13was issued by a Chinese national named Guo Waping
02:17who came to the Philippines on January 12, 2003.
02:22But Lin Wenye, who appears as Mayor Alice Guo in Anila,
02:28applied for the Special Investor's Resident Visa
02:32when Mayor Alice Guo was still a child.
02:35Mayor Alice Guo and Guo Waping
02:40are not the same person.
02:45Aside from Guo's resemblance to Guo Waping's portrait,
02:50their fingerprints are also identical.
02:54We found it to be similar.
02:57No two persons, even twins, will have the same fingerprints.
03:01This is conclusive.
03:04In the database of the National Bureau of Investigation,
03:09another Alice Leal Guo was released.
03:13Their names are identical.
03:15Even their birthdays.
03:16July 12, 1986.
03:19But this Alice Leal Guo lives in Quezon City.
03:24The fingerprints do not match.
03:28This is a different person.
03:29It will be premature for us to comment
03:31considering that we have not even seen any of these documents.
03:36They will present it to the judge.
03:38But the authorities believe
03:40that this Alice Leal Guo is just a mystery.
03:44That is why the NBI will give 50,000 pesos
03:49to whoever can prove her innocence.
03:53If we see her, we will question her
03:56why she uses the name in her application for NBI.
04:01But the question is,
04:03who is Mayor Alice Guo?
04:06I don't know anymore, Your Honor.
04:10Our team went to places that are related to her.
04:14To her residence in Bamban, Satarlac.
04:17And to Valenzuela,
04:19where the testimonies that her family used to live here.
04:26In our investigation,
04:28we met someone who claims to know
04:31the family of the controversial mayor.
04:35And she is the one who can prove
04:38that Alice Guo and Guo Huaping are one.
04:46When she was young,
04:47when she was 7 to 8 years old,
04:49they came here.
04:50They called her Huaping.
04:55We are here again in our chicken farm.
04:58Mayor Guo met, gave birth, and grew up on a farm.
05:02She went to homeschool,
05:04with Teacher Rubilin,
05:06and raised a pig,
05:08a business of their family.
05:11She also admitted that she is the daughter of a Chinese national,
05:16Angelito Guo,
05:17to her former housemate, Amelia Lian.
05:21What is the job of your parents?
05:24My father is already retired.
05:27And your mother?
05:29I was not with my mother when she grew up.
05:32What is the job of your father?
05:35He is a negotiator, Your Honor.
05:37Is he also a negotiator in HUG Raising,
05:40or in POGO, or in other places?
05:44HUG Raising.
05:45We are not involved in any POGO operation, Your Honor.
05:49Amelia Lial.
05:50She is my biological mother.
05:52Did you know that your mother is Filipino?
05:55Yes.
05:56That is what my father told me.
05:58Our team went to her house,
06:01in Bamban, Tarlac.
06:03Some residents of Bamban
06:05are showing their support to their mayor
06:08through the signage outside their houses.
06:13One of them is the garbage collector,
06:16Edgardo,
06:17who admitted that he voted for Guo.
06:20They said that he lives here in Bonsai.
06:23That is what we heard.
06:25But of course, we did not know him.
06:27Let's try.
06:28Maybe this is what will help Bamban
06:30to become a mayor
06:32so that it will bloom.
06:34In 2022,
06:35an independent candidate ran for mayor.
06:39Remember what I said,
06:42Guo,
06:43this is for you.
06:45Even when it comes to politics,
06:48he did not.
06:49Thank you very, very much.
06:52And I love you, Your Honor.
06:54The kids who are studying in the mountains,
06:57they have a service.
06:58It's easy to become a mayor.
07:00You just need to help people.
07:02You have a lot of fans and supporters, right?
07:04But the residents of Bamban
07:06are also proud of
07:07the brave life of the suspended mayor.
07:11He owns luxury cars,
07:14dump trucks,
07:15and even a helicopter.
07:17Dude, let me check.
07:19Like that.
07:20What is the value of his life
07:23unless it is shown in his vlogs?
07:26My favorite food
07:28is dry breakfast every morning.
07:30We also asked the employees in the municipality.
07:33In work, he is honest.
07:35He is not strict all the time.
07:37That's why his supporters are very surprised
07:41and were shocked
07:42when the mayor's name was mentioned
07:44in Pogo's Camp.
07:46The land was built by Pogo Hub,
07:49ZUN U1 Technology,
07:51in the compound of Baufu Land,
07:53which is just behind the municipality
07:56named after Mayor Guo.
07:59The electric bills,
08:01and then the maintenance bills,
08:03even the land titles,
08:04he has an actual hand in the operation of Pogo.
08:08Until the true nationality of Mayor Guo was calculated.
08:13According to his birth certificate,
08:15which was registered in 2005,
08:18when he was 19 years old,
08:20he was born in Matatalaig, Tarlac.
08:24But based on information from some documents,
08:28it was found out that the family of Mayor Guo
08:32sometimes worked
08:34and established an embroidery business
08:37in Valenzuela City.
08:38They have a warehouse there
08:40that was rented to a Valenzuelan.
08:43And allegedly, they also lived there.
08:46So you can't pinpoint
08:48where they are,
08:49or what their official address is.
08:51The owner told me
08:53that they requested to build quarters.
08:56They have factories,
08:57not just in Valenzuela.
08:58If he gets involved in his father's business,
09:00we can't prevent him from being invalidated.
09:04He really goes to those factories.
09:07Our team found the said address
09:10of the owner of a family in Valenzuela.
09:13Hello sir, good afternoon.
09:14I am from GMA Network.
09:17I just want to ask,
09:18is the owner here?
09:21He's not here.
09:24When we asked the barangay captain
09:26if they have a record of the said
09:29embroidery business of the Guo family,
09:31QJJ Embroidery Center Incorporated.
09:35We can't see the business name on the record.
09:39Our team also asked
09:41if anyone knows the Guo family.
09:44But we can't see her face.
09:48So you don't know if she has a guardian?
09:51No, I don't know.
09:53Until someone introduced him
09:55and said that he saw Diumano
09:57when he entered the warehouse.
10:00The woman was named Mayor Guo.
10:03I love you all so much!
10:08Let's hide her in the name of Karla.
10:10Karla agreed to share her knowledge
10:13on the condition that she will not be in front of the camera.
10:16But she insisted on recording the audio of her voice.
10:21Let's eat, Ate G!
10:23She knows Mayor Guo's family very well
10:26because she used to work for them.
10:30In 2001, I worked in QJJ Embroidery until 2013.
10:38The owner of QJJ Embroidery is Alice's father.
10:43According to Mayor Guo's story in the Senate,
10:46his mother is not Filipino.
10:49As far as you know, your mother is Filipino?
10:52Yes.
10:53His mother's name is Linlin.
10:55His wife lives there.
10:58While the embroidery is still here,
11:01his father is always not here
11:04because he went back to China.
11:06His wife is always here.
11:08Mayor Guo was often in the warehouse.
11:12But he has a different name.
11:15When he was 7 to 8 years old,
11:18they came here.
11:20His name is Huaping.
11:22He always went to Embro,
11:24but he didn't stay there long.
11:26Alice went back to Bandar.
11:29She grew up there and went home.
11:31He only went there twice a week.
11:34His sister, Jiang Long,
11:36and the other one, I don't know what her name is,
11:38but they went far away.
11:40They have three siblings.
11:42We can't comment on that.
11:45As long as we don't hear it ourselves.
11:48I grew up on a farm.
11:50I was only 14 years old.
11:52I was already raising pigs.
11:54In Carla's story,
11:56Mayor Guo's first story in the Senate is being questioned.
12:00He grew up on a farm in Bambantarlak.
12:03He grew up with his Chinese father.
12:06They were then left by his Filipino mother.
12:10You become more doubtful.
12:12Instead of clarifying the first questions,
12:15you add more questions.
12:17Especially when it turns out that he's lying or lying.
12:21But the question of many is,
12:23if Mayor Guo's story is doubtful,
12:27how did he succeed in filing his candidacy
12:31as Mayor of Bambantarlak?
12:34In Mayor Guo's case,
12:36he was registered as a voter in April 2021.
12:40When he lied,
12:41no one questioned him or opposed his application
12:44to become a voter of Bambantarlak.
12:46That's why he was granted, approved
12:48by the Election Registration Board of Bamban.
12:50This issue of fake passports,
12:52the Daiwans who abuse our system,
12:54has been going on for a long time.
12:55Maybe Alice's case is just the tip of the iceberg.
12:59This is also an aspect of geopolitics.
13:02Obviously, the Philippines and China have a weakness.
13:05At the same time,
13:06there's a big issue of what is the implication
13:09of the smuggling of pogo.
13:11But this shows how easy it is for the Philippines to infiltrate.
13:15The former powerful mayor of Bamban,
13:18due to his involvement in illegal pogo operations in the country,
13:23is now facing many cases.
13:26We filed him for Qualified Human Trafficking.
13:29This is under RA 9208,
13:33or what we call Anti-Trafficking in Persons Law.
13:37Look at the evidence against Mayor Alice Guo.
13:40Paper, electricity bill, letter of no objection,
13:44articles of incorporation.
13:46These documents are not enough
13:49to commit the crime of human trafficking.
13:51There must be an overt act.
13:54This case is weak.
13:56It's really tough.
13:57We're still waiting for the official record
14:00and the certification from China
14:03if he will really be admitted as a Chinese citizen.
14:06We're already negotiating with the Bureau of Migration
14:09to find out how Guo was able to enter the country.
14:13The case of Guo Waranto
14:15can be removed from him as mayor.
14:18What other administrative and criminal cases
14:21are being billed against him?
14:24He can be deported.
14:25But before he can be deported,
14:27if he is convicted and sentenced for any of the cases,
14:32he will still serve time here in the Philippines.
14:35This Friday,
14:36the Office of the Solicitor General formally filed a petition
14:40to cancel Guo's birth certificate.
14:43There is irregularity in the delayed registration process.
14:46It's possible that others will use abuse
14:50in the delayed registration process.
14:52We all want the truth.
14:54We're not hiding anything.
14:56I grew up on a farm.
14:58I grew up on a farm.
14:59I grew up on a farm.
15:01What? Let's not be robots.
15:03Sometimes we see it in movies,
15:05on social media,
15:06online scams or transactions.
15:08But now, they will use that mode in our government.
15:12We should not allow it.
15:15If the allegations against Mayor Guo are true,
15:19it proves the corruption in our government.
15:26How can a non-Filipino be voted out?
15:32And besides,
15:33it's not connected to human trafficking cases,
15:37crimes, forced labor, and scams.
15:40If others have nothing to do with it,
15:43we, as voters and citizens,
15:45should not forget it.
15:48And we should not allow it.
