"Kahit magkaroon ng penalty of deportation sa kanya, kapag na-convict siya in any of those cases, she will first have to serve her sentence here in the Philippines," she said.

"Kumabaga hindi lang free pass na made-deport at dun na lang niya harapin 'yung consequences sa kung saan siya ide-deport, but she will have to face the consequences kapag mapatunayan ng mga korte natin na nilabag niya ang mga batas ng ating republika," she added.

Aside from this, the OSG also plans to file a quo warranto case against Guo, which could result in her removal from office.
