MANILA, Philippines — Is “Guo Hua Ping” the real Alice Guo?
Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian raised this question on Tuesday, citing documents from the Board of Investments (BOI) and Bureau of Immigration (BI) as legislators investigating Alice Guo continue to try to establish the suspended Bamban mayor’s true identity.
“Alice Guo might be Guo Hua Ping, who entered the Philippines on January 12, 2003, when she was 13 years old,” Gatchalian told reporters in a Viber message.

The suspended mayor has been the subject of scrutiny after the Senate committee on women bared her alleged ties to Zun Yuan Technology, an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator in Bamban, Tarlac.
However, Guo has repeatedly denied all accusations hurled against her, including being an alleged China spy, and insisted that she is a simple Filipino citizen.
