Guo could be seen wearing a protective helmet in the video. She was surrounded by numerous police female police officers and a perimeter of SWAT operatives from the PNP vehicle that transported her to the court building.
Her graft case stems from the complaint filed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government over her alleged involvement in the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator in her former locality.
Aside from this, she is also facing a qualified trafficking case before a Pasig court as well as 87 counts of money laundering before the Department of Justice.
A quo warranto petition has also been filed against Guo, who is also identified as Guo Hua Ping, with a Manila court, as well as a petition to cancel her birth certificate before a Tarlac court. She has denied the accusations against her.
Meanwhile, the Pasig Regional Trial Court (RTC) has ordered Guo’s transfer to Pasig City from Camp Crame to a city jail in connection with her qualified trafficking case.—Joahna Lei Casilao/RF, GMA Integrated News
