The arraignment of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo for her graft case in a Valenzuela City court was postponed again on Monday, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) said.
“Hearing of Alice Guo in Valenzuela today is canceled and reset to October 28 afternoon,” BJMP spokesperson Jail Superintendent Jayrex Bustinera told reporters.
Asked for the reason for the postponement, Bustinera said only a notice of the schedule was relayed to the BJMP.
On September 20, Guo’s arraignment also did not push through amid her pending motion to quash the information filed against her.
Guo earlier posted bail of P540,000 at the Valenzuela City Regional Trial Court Branch 282 for charges involving violations of Section 3(e) and 3(h) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
Her graft charges stemmed from the complaint filed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) over her alleged involvement in the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator in Bamban.
Guo is facing charges for graft, qualified human trafficking, money laundering, and tax evasion. She is currently detained at the Pasig City Jail. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA Integrated News
