NBI files falsification raps vs Guo, family
The National Bureau of Investigation has filed additional charges against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, and four members of her family, mostly for falsifying documents in connection with their establishment of businesses and purchase of property in Bulacan.
The NBI said on Thursday that its Bulacan South District Office filed the complaints against the former town mayor and her family before the Bulacan Prosecutor’s Office on Sept. 11.
Charged along with Guo were her siblings Shiela and Siemen Guo, their father Guo Jian Zhong and mother Lin Wen Yi.
All six were charged with 34 counts of falsification of public documents—30 of these for falsifying the articles of incorporation, secretary’s certificate and 2021 general information sheet for six companies, while the remaining four counts were for false applications of business, occupancy and business permits.
The NBI also filed against the Guos and Lin another 30 counts of Simulation of Minimum Capital Stock under the Anti-Dummy Law.
More charges
Alice Guo was charged further with six additional counts of falsification of public documents for allegedly falsifying the deed of sale and the documentary stamp for the property where the family’s companies were supposedly located.
NBI agent Gregory Yu told the Inquirer that they would also proceed with a forfeiture case.
Records showed that the Guo siblings hold the majority shares in six companies that share a principal address in Marilao, Bulacan. The firms are located on a P2-million property that Alice Guo bought in October 2010, according to the Registry of Deeds in Meycauayan City, and the Marilao tax declaration.
Misrepresentation
The NBI reported that the Guo siblings identified
themselves as Filipinos in the articles of incorporation of the six companies. The incorporators, on the other hand, included both their parents.
The Guo family is also facing falsification and antidummy charges that were filed by the NBI office in the National Capital Region over their 3Q Farm, Inc. in Pangasinan.
Alice Guo is currently detained in the female dormitory of the Pasig City Jail on human trafficking charges. She also faces a slew of other cases, including money laundering, graft, perjury, obstruction of justice and corruption.
In July 2024, her fingerprints were found to be a match for a Chinese woman named Guo Hua Ping, who arrived in the Philippines in the early 2000s. This triggered allegations that she may be a Chinese spy.
Nearly a year after she was dismissed from her post as Bamban mayor for her involvement in the illegal operations of a Philippine offshore gaming operator in her town, Alice Guo was permanently banned from public office by a Manila court, which declared her “undoubtedly a Chinese citizen” based on biometric evidence.
Giving full weight and credence to the “infallible science of fingerprint examination,” presiding Judge Liwliwa Hidalgo-Bucu of the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 34 granted the quo warranto petition filed by the Office of the Solicitor General against Guo after she and Guo Hua Ping were proven to be the same person.
