MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec)`will proceed with its scheduled investigation on dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to determine probable cause for material representation in her certificate of candidacy (CoC) in 2022, claiming that she was a Filipino citizen.
Chairman George Erwin Garcia said on Wednesday that the dismissal order of the Office of the Ombudsman against Guo for grave misconduct will not affect the preliminary investigation to be conducted by the Comelec Law Department for material misrepresentation, an election offense.
