"Haharapin ko po muna yung mga accusations sa’kin. Linisin ko po muna sarili ko. Para maging fair din para sa constituents ko na mahal na mahal ko po," Guo said.

Alice Leal Guo was the Mayor of the Municipality of Bamban, Tarlac, and was eventually dismissed. She won as mayor during the national elections in 2022. She became known nationwide after her name was dragged into the ongoing Senate investigations regarding Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) and the alleged proliferation of illegal immigrants. Her name has been the subject of many online memes since then.
In a previous report by KAMI, DOJ is looking to oppose dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor, Alice Guo's plan to run in 2025 elections. This was according to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla following the announcement that Guo would be running again. Remulla also added that Guo's candidacy wasn't within her rights since she was facing issues against the legitimacy of her citizenship. Additionally, the dismissed mayor of Bamban was also recently put on the hot seat when international news channel Al Jazeera released a video indicating Guo was a Chinese spy.
Related to this, earlier this year, Guo Hua Ping, also known as Alice Guo, was arrested in Indonesia. Sen. Win Gatchalian, in a social media post, announced that the dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor, was arrested in Tangerang City, Jakarta. In a message sent to GMA News, Gatchalian said Guo was nabbed at 1:30 AM on September 4, 2024, and she is currently in the custody of the Indonesian Police. The news was also confirmed by NBI Director Jaime Santiago, according to ABS-CBN News.
