About a week ago, Sen. Gatchalian, during a senate panel hearing, presented evidence of the educational background of Guo Hua Ping. The senator shared a document that shows that Guo Hua Ping studied at Grace Christian High School in Quezon City. The records showed that she was in school from 2000 to 2003. He also alleged that she actually studied in the same school where he went.

Meanwhile, suspended Bamban Mayor Guo’s brother, Wesley Leal Guo, has the same fingerprints as Chinese national Guo Xiang Dian. Sen. Win Gatchalian presented on Wednesday the documents from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) citing the matched fingerprint results. As per the senator, Guo Xiang Dian arrived in the Philippines in 1999. Gatchalian also told reporters that the findings prove that the late registration process in the country was abused by the Guo family.
