00:00A lifetime of disqualification in any government office
00:04and not getting all the retirement benefits.
00:07Those are the big penalties for Alice Guo
00:10after being dismissed by the Ombudsman as the mayor of Bamban, Tarlac.
00:14Let's witness this with Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:17The first one to go to the so-called Alice Guo's farm in Bamban, Tarlac.
00:30We are representatives of COMELEC Region 3
00:34and we came from the office of Atty. Albert Rodriguez.
00:38COMELEC Central Office asked us to serve summons to Mayor Alice Guo.
00:46What is your position here?
00:49I'm just a caretaker here, sir.
00:51I'm just a caretaker.
00:53Alice Guo did not go there.
00:57COMELEC is on its way to the municipality of Bamban.
01:00The staff of the office of the mayor said
01:03they did not receive any communication from Guo.
01:06Is he the one who will hand over, if ever, to Mayor Guo?
01:10Maybe if we can see him.
01:13Guo has 10 days to eat the counter affidavit of COMELEC
01:17that is conducting a preliminary investigation
01:20regarding the complaint of misrepresentation against him.
01:24After being served the summons here at Mayor Alice Guo's farm
01:28and even there in the municipality,
01:30they will wait for Mayor Guo's answer or explanation.
01:34If he did not answer,
01:36COMELEC Legal Department can now decide on the preliminary investigation.
01:41The case of misrepresentation,
01:43the accusation of misleading the COC,
01:46due to the investigation of COMELEC and NBI,
01:49Guo's fingerprints are coming out one by one
01:51and that of the Chinese, Guo Huaping.
01:54But before the issue of Guo's identity is brought up,
01:57the first thing that was brought up in the Senate hearing
02:00was his relationship with Pogo in Bambantarlac.
02:03I am not an operator, I am not a protector or a cutler of Pogo.
02:08I have nothing to do with their operation
02:11and with any actions inside and outside.
02:14After three months, the decision of the ombudsman came down.
02:18Guo was dismissed from his service as Mayor of Bambantarlac
02:22and he will not receive all of his retirement benefits.
02:26While he is alive, he is disqualified in any government office.
02:30According to the complaint filed by the Department of Interior and Local Government,
02:34for grave misconduct, conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service,
02:39gross neglect of duty, and serious dishonesty,
02:43Guo's role in Pogo in the Baofu compound was dismissed.
02:47Guo's actions will be compensated
02:50from the organization and registration of the Baofu
02:53as well as the remuneration of the permit of Huang Sheng
02:57after the cancellation of its license.
02:59The same goes for the business permit of Zun Yuan
03:03in spite of the shortcomings in its application.
03:06Guo's actions showed willful intent
03:11to violate the law and to separate the allies of the government.
03:14Aside from facing Kobelec and the ombudsman,
03:17Guo is also facing a complaint of human trafficking in the DOJ
03:21and has an arrest warrant in the Senate.
03:23The co-warrantor petition of the Solicitor General,
03:26which was filed in court, continues.
03:28The GMA Integrated News is still trying to find out
03:31the whereabouts of Guo.
03:33For GMA Integrated News,
03:35Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
03:58For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo.
