Trafficking charges filed vs Alice Guo

NON-BAILABLE criminal charges for qualified trafficking have been filed before the Pasig Regional Trial Court (RTC) against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and 13 others, the Department of Justice (DoJ) said Wednesday. "The DoJ would like to confirm that the case against Alice Guo, including Dennis Cunanan, with the former TLRC (Technology and Livelihood Resource Center) deputy director general and representative of the Zun Yuan Technology, as well as 12 executives and founders of three companies and Guo's alleged business partners, has been filed in the RTC of Pasig City," DoJ spokesman Mico Clavano told reporters. Clavano said that they filed the case before the Pasig RTC following a Supreme Court ruling granting the DoJ's request for the transfer of venue of cases involving Guo. "Initially, we were going to file it before the Capas court because the crime happened there. However, the Supreme Court released an administrative circular to transfer the case to the Pasig City RTC. All relevant and relative cases to those filed are also going to be filed now in Pasig City," he said. Clavano said they are monitoring developments in the Senate for any additional charges that may be filed against Guo. "The court will have to make their own judicial determination of probable cause, and if they find probable cause, they will issue a warrant of arrest," he said. "These cases are non-bailable cases, which is why as soon as the warrants of arrest are out from the Pasig trial court, then we can expect to take custody of Ms. Alice Guo despite or if ever she is released already from Senate and if ever, she does decide to post bail in one of her cases in Capas, Tarlac."
