00:50Guo Huaping is the Chinese woman suspected to be the true identity of the local official
00:56Senator Issa Ontiveros says this finding is the, quote, strongest evidence in stripping
01:00Guo of her elective post
01:03She alleges Guo is a, quote, Chinese national masquerading as a Filipino citizen to facilitate
01:08crimes being committed by POGO
01:11She also urges the Office of the Solicitor General to expedite the filing of a Quo Waranto
01:15case against Guo

02:42would position herself in the 2025 elections

02:50end local communist armed conflict on June 19, but did not give a reason for her exit
02:56Marcos says he asked Duterte for a reason, but she said, quote, let's not talk about
03:01it
