Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo reacts as the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality presents a portion of a conversation with Wang Fugui, who claimed that dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo is a spy, during a hearing in Pasay City on October 8, 2024. Mark Demayo, ABS-CBN News/FileMANILA — No member of the Philippine National Police (PNP) was involved in the escape of former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo back in July.

This was the statement of the PNP during the Senate deliberation on the budget of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and attached agencies such as the PNP on Wednesday night.

Senate Majority Floor Leader Francis Tolentino sponsored the budget and said the PNP conducted an internal investigation on Guo’s escape.

“Nagkaroon po, your honor, ng imbestigasyon at wala nga, ang resulta ay wala talagang natukoy na involved na miyembro ng PNP,” Tolentino said.

Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros remarked, “Napakamisteryosong nakatakas siya na panay mga dayuhan lang daw ang tumulong at walang kababayan ang tumulong.”

According to Tolentino, “Maging si General Villanuevea ay sinubpoena, at siya po ay nag-issue, nag-execute ng sinumpaang salaysay na wala talagang involved na pulis.”

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Senior Vice President Raul Villanueva previously said there was raw information that a former PNP Chief might have helped Guo. He later on apologized for the unverified information.

Asked if any politician could have helped Guo, Tolentino said, “Base rin po sa  imbestigasyon kay Alice Guo, sa custodial investigation wala rin pong natukoy na involved na politiko.”

Meanwhile, the PNP assured that none of its personnel moonlight as a bodyguard of bosses of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
