MANILA, Philippines — Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo is trying to get into the "Golden Triangle" in mainland Asia, where her family has business interests, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) said Saturday.

Speaking at a news forum in Quezon City, PAOCC spokesman Winston Casio said that Guo cannot go to China since "she is already a person of interest as far as China's concerned because she's accused of a serious crime in the Philippines in relation to illegal gambling."

"We know how strict China is in relation to gambling in their own territory. So, definitely, she would not be heading to any of those territories," Casio said.

"Now, what is the feasible territory that she would head into? As the commission is concerned, as far as the PAOCC is concerned, we're confident that she's trying to get into the Golden Triangle because the family, the Guo Family has business interest, gambling interests in Cambodia. So, that would be the safest bet that we have as of this moment," he added.

Casio was referring to the Golden Triangle region in mainland Southeast Asia, located on the intersecting borders of Mekong River countries Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia, which are controlled by syndicates and triads.
