TARLAKENYO (Nov. 20, 2025) — The former mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, received a life sentence after being found guilty of qualified trafficking by the Pasig City Regional Trial Court.
Alice Guo, 35, received the guilty verdict from the RTC Branch 167 this morning and is ordered to pay P2 million. Seven of her other 15 co-accused were also convicted.
The trial court also ordered her immediate transfer from the Pasig City Jail, where she has been held since September last year, to the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong City.
In September 2025, a court in Tarlac granted the petition to nullify Guo’s birth certificate, formally declaring it null and void. The ruling affirms that the document used to establish her Filipino citizenship was illegitimate.
The Tarlac Regional Trial Court Branch 111 determined that the certificate of live birth was processed through a fraudulent late registration in Tarlac City.
