MANILA — Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and her family are now facing more than 100 criminal counts after the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed a barrage of falsification and anti-dummy cases over allegedly fraudulent business registrations and property acquisitions in Bulacan.
In its report from the Bulacan South District Office, the NBI said two sets of complaints were lodged covering 30 counts of falsification of public documents tied to articles of incorporation, a secretary’s certificate, and the 2021 General Information Sheet of several firms.
Also filed were 30 counts of simulation of minimum capital stock under the Anti-Dummy Law, along with four counts of falsifying applications for permits covering business, occupancy, and buildings.
Separate charges against Guo included six more counts of falsification linked to a deed of sale and documentary stamps.
The complaints named Guo — also known as Guo Hua Ping — along with relatives Shiela Guo or Mier Zhang, Seimen Guo, and Lin Wen Yi. Investigators said they acted as incorporators of companies registered under the same Marilao address, with Guo, Shiela, and Seimen declaring themselves as Filipino citizens. Lin, identified as Guo’s mother, and Guo Jian Zhong, her alleged father, were likewise listed as incorporators.
“The charges were filed against Guo, also identified as Guo Hua Ping, Shiela Guo or Mier Zhang, Seimen Guo, and Lin Wen Yi,” the NBI noted, though it has yet to release details on the companies’ actual operations.
The bureau earlier said Guo is also under investigation for alleged illegal land conversion involving a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) property.
The latest charges add to Guo’s growing legal troubles: a qualified trafficking case before a Pasig court, graft raps in Valenzuela, a material misrepresentation case in Tarlac, a pending quo warranto petition in Manila, and a separate petition to cancel her birth certificate in Tarlac.
