Ex-PNP brass may have been involved in Alice Guo’s escape

By J.Lo

“It was mentioned, former chief PNP,” Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) Senior Vice President for  Security and Monitoring Cluster Raul Villanueva emphasized information was still being verified, unnamed former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief may have been involved in escape of former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, according to intelligence from Pagcor executive.

During Tuesday’s Senate probe on Guo’s alleged ties to Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs), Villanueva said there were whispers of  “payola” from Guo.

Villanueva,  retired PNP general, said  there were also personalities involved with Guo’s escape.  

Sen. Risa Hontiveros,  chairperson of  Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, asked Villanueva who these were. 

PNP Deputy Director for Administration Police Brig. Gen. Raul Tacaca, represented  police force, said that they have no information on this yet. 

Hontiveros described  revelation as big news.

“No less than  former chief PNP is implicated in  escape of Guo Hua Ping,” she said. 

Hontiveros added that this suggests POGO money may have reached  highest levels of  country’s leadership.

“Next president,  next senators,  next local government leaders could be bankrolled by POGO money,” Hontiveros said. 

Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa,  former PNP chief himself, expressed concern about accusation.

“There is allegedly  chief PNP receiving monthly payroll from you…can we know who this former chief PNP? I am concerned, because I am  former chief PNP!” Dela Rosa said. 

The senator said there might be colorful script coming out later, stating that he accepted money from Guo. 

Guo denied knowing Dela Rosa and said she had only seen him at  Senate.

“Kahit selfie…may selfie ka sa’kin?” Dela Rosa asked. .

“Wala po,” Guo said. (Nothing.) 

Guo has appeared in several controversial selfies, including one with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during his campaign. More recently, Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos and PNP Chief Gen. Rommel Marbil drew ire of netizens after being seen smiling in  photo with Guo. 

“I’m sure you’re not the one,” Villanueva said, referring to Dela Rosa. 

Guo’s second appearance at  Senate ever since being apprehended by Indonesian authorities in September. 

Guo fled the country after authorities began cracking down on her alleged criminal activities as Senate hearing shed more light pointing to anomalies.  Former  Bamban mayor faces charges that range from human trafficking, money laundering and misrepresentation.
