What will happen to the marriages solemnized by dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo, if and when she is proven to be not a Filipino citizen?
4Ps Party-list Rep. JC Abalos raised this question on Monday night, Sept. 16 during the House plenary debate on the proposed 2025 budget of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
The answer first entails determining how many couples were actually married under Guo's authority as mayor.

00:00And Madam Speaker, for my next question po, sa mga instances or sa mga kaso na napatunayan
00:09po natin, kunwari, na fake ang birth certificate ng isang tao, for example in the case of
00:15Mayor Alesgo, let's say nagkaroon po ng final finding and ruling ang korte na peke nga ang
00:21kanyang birth certificate at hindi siya isang Pilipino, matatandaan po natin na naging mayor
00:27siya and isa sa mga kapangyarihan po ng mayor ay ang pag-solemnize ng mga marriages.
00:33For example, napatunayan na nga po na hindi Pilipino si Mayor Alesgo and at the same time
00:41po, ano po yung efekto nito sa mga marriages na isinolemnize niya?
00:45Kasi nakalagay po sa ating batas na kung walang authority to solemnize ang isang solemnizing
00:52officer sa isang kasal, void po ang kasal.
00:55Ang ibig sabihin po nito, magiging void na rin po ba lahat ng mga Pilipinong ikinasal
01:00niya?
01:01And at the same time, ano po yung maaaring solusyon po natin in case mag-arise ang problemang
01:07ito?
01:08Madam Speaker, Your Honor, napaka ganda ng issue na ni Rais, ng kagalang-galang na J.C.
01:18Avalos.
01:19So one step at a time, sabi ng ating Philippine Statistics Authority.
01:25Sa ngayon po, they are in the process of canceling ito pong birth certificate ni Alesgo.
01:34As soon as that is approved by the court, ay pabalikan po lahat po ng marriages solemnized
01:45by Alesgo.
01:48Nasa records naman po lahat yun.
