A documentary in which a Chinese interviewee indicated that Guo Hua Ping was a spy was played before the House QuadComm inquiry, prompting dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo upon questioning to vehemently deny that she was one.
Davao Oriental Rep. Cheeno Miguel Almario had the committee play the Al Jazeera interview with She Zhijiang, said to be a detained Chinese spy who is fearing for his life if he was returned to China.
“Guo Huaping, China cannot be trusted. The two of us dedicated our lives to China’s Ministry of State Security. Look at what happened to me,” She said.
“If you don’t want to be eliminated, tell the world the truth,” he added.
Citing the documentary, Almario said Guo lied when she said that she was a Filipino who was born to a Filipino mother and grew up in the Philippines.
The video showed that Guo’s mother was a Chinese, Lin Wenyi, and that she was born in Fujian.
Almario again asked Guo if she knew She.
“Hindi ko po siya kilala. At sana po your honor, Mr. Chair, makuha ko rin po yung details. Gusto ko pong magdemanda,” a visibily upset Guo said.
(I don’t know him. And your honor, Mr. Chair, may I also have the details. I want to sue.)
“Hindi natin siya madedemanda Ms. Alice because he is now jailed in Thailand,” Almario said.
(We cannot sue him, Ms. Alice, because he is now jailed in Thailand.)
Almario said She’s narrative “lined up” because the latter mentioned Guo asking him for campaign funds when she ran for mayor. Guo won the mayoral elections in Bamban, Tarlac in 2022.
Guo said it was unfair because she didn’t ask for campaign funds “entirely” when she ran in local elections.
“The video said you are probably a spy,” said Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers.
“Hindi po ako spy. Mahal ko po ang Pilipinas,” Guo said emphatically. —NB, GMA Integrated News
