00:00Suspended Mayor Alice Guo is likely to face a criminal case of violation of the election code, according to the Commission on Elections.
00:08It was confirmed by their fact-finding team that the mayor's fingerprints are the same as those of his real acquaintance, Guo Hua Ping.
00:18This is the news brought to you by Mackie Polito.
00:24Both are the same and only one person has these fingerprints.
00:29As a result of the investigation by the NBI, the fact-finding team of COMELEC found that one person is Guo Hua Ping and Alice Leal Guo.
00:38In the examination of the fingerprints in the Voter's Registration Certificate of Candidacy,
00:43and when Alice Guo voted in 2022 and 2023,
00:47the same fingerprints were found in the NBI clearance that was named after Alice Guo,
00:53and in the Alien Registration Card of the Bureau of Immigration that was named after Guo Hua Ping.
00:58Because the mayor lied, the COMELEC Legal Department in COMELEC on Bank recommended the filing of a case of misrepresentation,
01:06a criminal case of violation of the Omnibus Election Code.
01:10It has a penalty of one to six years in prison, perpetual disqualification from office and no pardon,
01:17except if COMELEC allows it.
01:19If there's a filing of information, there's a warrant of arrest because it's a criminal case.
01:25COMELEC on Bank may issue a decision next week.
01:28If approved, the complaint will be filed to the Tarlac Regional Trial Court.
01:32Guo may also face a case of perjury.
01:36This is also a lesson to everyone.
01:38Because no one will file a disqualification or cancellation of the candidacy,
01:42we cannot lie to our Certificate of Candidacy because you may be charged with a criminal case.
01:50These actions were premature, said Stephen David, the lawyer of Mayor Guo.
01:55He believes that before the client is charged,
01:58the court should first say that the birth certificate and Philippine passport of Mayor Guo are fake.
02:03To say that he had a misrepresentation, the court needs to give a conclusion first.
02:08If we receive formal notice to answer or reply, I will file a motion to dismiss.
02:15For me, there are prejudicial issues that need to be resolved.
02:19The co-warrant of petition issued by the Solicitor General is also premature.
02:23The proclamation to Guo as mayor is far from having a visa.
02:27According to David, Guo is in the Philippines.
02:29He does not want to listen to the Senate because he is facing a case.
02:33He may use his words against him in the Senate hearing.
02:37The PNP is still pursuing him.
02:39The challenge definitely is that there are resources for the people we are looking for.
02:44If people really want to hide, they will use their resources to elude arrest.
02:51That is expected from the people they are looking for.
02:56But on the part of the PNP, we are taking this as a challenge.
