00:00Suspended Bantarlac Mayor Alice Guo is approaching the court in the country to prove if she has the right to hold a position in the government.
00:12It is possible that this week, the Office of the Solicitor General will issue a co-warrantor petition against Guo.
00:19This was confirmed by Solicitor General Menardo Guevara.
00:22The OSG is just waiting for a copy of the evidence against the suspended mayor.
00:28When asked by the OSG if they are confident in filing a petition, Guevara replied that they believe that the government has a fight against the suspended mayor.
00:37Aside from this, they are also preparing another petition against Guo that will be filed next month.
00:44But what is the co-warrantor petition?
00:47Based on the rules of court, this is an action of the government against individuals who have a position in the government but broke the law.
00:55Based on the rules of procedure for the municipal election issued by the Supreme Court, the OSG should file a petition to the Regional Trial Court.
01:04The evidence should be included to strengthen the petition.
01:08It is time to file the case to the court.
01:11It will be raffled to the RTC branch that holds the case.
01:15This is not the first co-warrantor petition in the Philippines against an official of the government.
01:20In 2017, this was also filed against the former Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, who was removed from office.
01:29Meanwhile, while they are waiting to file the case against Guo in court, the Immigration Lookout Bulletin against Guo is still being carried out.
01:39So far, we don't have any record of his attempt or his other cohorts to leave.
01:46So far, we don't have any update on the Immigration Lookout Bulletin.
01:50The last attempt to leave was the other week when a Zhang Ji attempted to leave, but apart from that, no other attempts.
01:59The Bureau of Immigration is also waiting for the Precautionary Hold Departure Order or PHDO so that if Guo tries to leave the country, he will be prevented and arrested by the authorities.
