00:00The Philippine passport of Alice Guo has been completely cancelled.
00:04Despite the allegation that she is not a Filipino,
00:07Guo will run again as the Mayor of Bambantarlac.
00:11She is being investigated by the Justice Department.
00:14Darlene Cai has the report.
00:18Well, definitely she will be running for mayor.
00:22Alice Guo will run again as the Mayor of Bambantarlac.
00:26If someone really wants her, who should be the judge?
00:30Even if she is being disqualified due to technicalities,
00:33Atty. David said, this is not final yet and there are still many processes to go through.
00:37There are no decisions of the courts as of now that she is not a Filipino.
00:43How will she decide if she is qualified or not?
00:46Because the Ombudsman ruling is not final yet.
00:49In fact, we still have a pending reconsideration there.
00:52And there is still a Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
00:56The Comelec will still accept Guo's Certificate of Candidacy.
01:00As long as the person is not convicted, she can run for any position.
01:05Because that is the ministerial duty of the Comelec because we do not have discretion.
01:10If ever, it is possible for Guo to face her incumbent councillor
01:14and former acting mayor Eranio Timbang,
01:16the ex-official board member of Bambantarlac,
01:18and the barangay chairman Jose Joey Salting Jr.,
01:21who was a close opponent of Guo during the 2022 elections.
01:24Former Bamban Mayor Jose Antonio Feliciano, who was followed by Guo.
01:28A tandem of Feliciano, suspended Bamban Vice Mayor Leonardo Ding Anunzacion,
01:33who is running for his re-election.
01:35And the former councillor Rodolfo Rudy Escoto.
01:39Today, Guo's Philippine passport was completely cancelled.
01:44The Department of Foreign Affairs explained that
01:46the passport was fraudulently acquired
01:50Especially according to DOJ and NBI,
01:52Guo's biometrics matched the passport database
01:55and biometrics in the NBI files of Guo Huaping.
01:58That is why Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia
02:01is studying the violation of Guo's Certificate of Candidacy.
02:04She can try but I wouldn't say it's her right
02:07because she's not Filipino and she bears falsified documents.
02:11Because having a falsified birth certificate
02:14is already very telling on her character
02:18on what she's all about.
02:21If you try to present yourself as a Filipino,
02:27you better be a real Filipino.
02:29Senator Joel Villanueva called it ridiculous
02:32if Guo still allowed to run
02:34that not even a Filipino can deny
02:38that Guo's camp has no evidence about this.
