Guo’s mom can’t be traced in Ph– senator

By Nidz Godino

“That makes our call for  DNA test with the mother unlikely,”   senator, earlier dared Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to take  DNA test with Lin Wen to disprove allegations  she lied about having  Filipino househelp mother.

 Alleged  Chinese mother of  Guo can no longer be located in the country, according to Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian.

Latest information provided to Senate by  Bureau of Immigration is  Guo’s father Jian Zhong Guo and alleged mother Lin Wen Yi or “Winnie” have not yet returned from abroad, Gatchalian said.

The two could still be staying in China, their native country, he added.

 “Because they are Chinese citizens, they are free to go to China and never return here,” Gatchalian added of  parents, who travelled together at least 170 times in  span of six years.

Gatchalian said  alleged mother in Guo’s birth certificate, Amelia Leal Guo, may be fictitious because no such person exists in  records of  Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

That Guo applied for  birth certificate at age 19 exposed  gaps in  PSA’s late birth registration being abused by foreign nationals who pose as fake Filipinos, he said.

“Birth certificate is  basic document to get  passport or to buy land…and in this case, to run for public office, even when your birth certificate is defective and irregular,”  senator said.

Office of the Solicitor General has formed team to look into filing  quo warranto case against Guo for allegedly misdeclaring herself as Filipino when she ran for mayor.

Gatchalian said there is  need for  executive session in  next Senate hearing as  investigation goes deeper into  involvement of criminal syndicates.

He said  scheduled Wednesday hearing would be closed-door upon  request of law enforcement agencies going after personalities who are tangled in  web of criminality funded by dirty money in offshore gaming activities.

“Agencies requested  executive session because their investigations are still ongoing and some matters cannot be discussed in public as they go after those under investigation,” Gatchalian said.

“They only have preliminary findings, which also affect national security, and thus cannot be revealed to public for now…but  public can rest assured these will be discussed openly once  investigation is officially concluded,” he added.

Neophyte mayor Guo was linked to illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) activities in Tarlac because she applied for  local permits of POGO hub Hongsheng Gaming Technology before she entered politics.

After Hongsheng was raided in 2023, it was renamed Zun Yuan Technology,  subject of  latest raid in Bamban this March and located behind  town hall where Guo holds office.

Sprawling  10-hectare hub  raided for human trafficking, hacking and scams  was also located at Baofu Land Development compound,  Guo used to own.

Two of Guo’s incorporators in Baofu Zhang Ruijin and Lin Baoying  are involved in Singapore’s biggest money laundering case amounting to $3 billion.
