SolGen Considers Cancelling Guo’s Birth Certificate

SolGen Considers Cancelling Guo’s Birth Certificate

The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) said Wednesday it is considering filing a petition to cancel the birth certificate of controversial Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.

“We are seriously considering the recommendation of the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) to file a petition for the cancellation of Mayor Guo’s birth certificate,” said Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra.

According to the Solicitor General, this is among the legal actions that OSG is investigating and which he says cannot be publicly disclosed.

The OSG has already formed a team to investigate Guo.

The team coordinated with various government agencies to gather information on the Bamban mayor.

During Wednesday’s Senate hearing, it was discovered that another “Alice Leal Guo” existed in the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) database.

The two “Alice Leal Guos” were born on the same date and the same year.

The PSA already recommended the cancellation of the mayor’s birth certificate.

Guo was the subject of various investigations after his name was dragged into the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (Pogo) hub in Tarlac on suspicion of being involved in illegal activities.
