Recently, the Bureau of Immigration has confirmed that Alice Guo is now in Indonesia. According to GMA's report, the dismissed Bamban mayor arrived in the said country almost a month after her alleged departure from the Philippines. The spokesperson of BI, Dana Sandoval, mentioned that Guo allegedly traveled to Malaysia on July 16, and thereafter arrived in Indonesia from Singapore on August 18. The BI is also backtracking on the dismissed mayor's movements.

Earlier, Mayor Guo released an official statement following an order for her arrest by the senate. The suspended Bamban mayor cited "severe exhaustion" and "trauma" as the reasons why she has not attended the two senate hearings. She also addressed Senators Win Gatchalian and Risa Hontiveros in her statement, even asking if she was the country's biggest problem.
