PAOCC spokesperson Winston John Casio said: “We have strong evidence that will support the criminal allegations against Mayor Alice Guo and a good number of people in the Bamban operations.”

Guo was suspended as mayor of Bamban by the Office of the Ombudsman following a petition from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) along with Edwin Ocampo, business permit and licensing officer, and Adenn Sigua, municipal legal officer. Through a social media post, Guo acknowledged the suspension order and asserted her innocence. She expressed her willingness to cooperate with authorities.
