THE National Bureau of Investigation has filed additional charges for falsification of public documents, graft and corruption and qualified human trafficking against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo.
NBI spokesperson Ferdinand Lavin said the falsification charges filed before the Justice Department stem from Guo’s purchase of three parcels of land in Sual, Pangasinan, using her alleged fake identity.
Authorities earlier said that Guo is a Chinese named Guo Hua Ping, who moved to the country in her youth.
“In the acquisition of these properties, Alice Guo insisted she is Alice Guo, that she is a Filipino citizen, when, in fact, we were able to establish she is Guo Hua Ping and she is a Chinese citizen and not a Filipino citizen,” Lavin told reporters after filing the case.
He said the government is seeking the forfeiture of the lands.
Last December, the NBI also sued Guo, her sister Shiela, and brother Siemen Guo, as well as parents Lin Wen Yi and Jian Zhong Guo, for the purchase of four parcels of land in Mangatarem, Pangasinan.
Guo’s siblings and parents were included in the charge as they were named incorporators in the firm that bought the land.
The dismissed mayor is also facing a qualified trafficking case before a Pasig court, a graft case before a Valenzuela court, and a material misrepresentation case before a Tarlac court filed by the Office of the Solicitor General.
A quo warranto petition was also filed against Guo with a Manila court, as well as a petition to cancel her birth certificate before a Tarlac court.
She is also facing a tax evasion complaint and perjury and falsification complaints before the DOJ.
Lavin said they have also filed charges against 11 employees of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation for violation of the Anti-Human Trafficking Act about the operations of Zun Yuan Technology, which used to run the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operation hub in Bamban that was raided by the authorities last year amid information of illegal activities.
