A foreign spy who became mayor?
This is not a scene from a movie. This is the shocking truth that has gradually been revealed about Alice Guo , the former mayor of Bamban, Tarlac — who is now in jail and facing a slew of charges , including identity fraud, human trafficking, money laundering, and espionage.
From being a prominent businessman, he rose to become a politician. But beneath his gentle image, one of the largest fraud syndicates in the country hides.
Fake Filipino? Fake Mayor? Fake Everything?
Initially, many admired Guo. During his 2022 campaign, he promised development, modernization, and medical services for all. But according to official investigations, all of this was built on lies .
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Senate revealed that the real identity of “Alice Guo” is “Guo Ping,” a Chinese national who posed as a Filipino using fake and forged documents.
His birth certificate? It was only filed with the civil registry when he was 17 years old.
Fingerprint match? It matched records in China.
His mother? No record found.
Nationality? The claim of being Filipino is fake.
The person the people of Bamban believed to be their “savior” turned out to be a foreign operative who knew how to hide, lie, and infiltrate the government .
Behind Closed Doors: Syndicate of Scams and POGO Protection
But the nightmare doesn’t end here.
According to intelligence reports, Guo is not just a fake — he is also the alleged mastermind of a high-level financial scam operation in the Philippines with connections to illegal POGO hubs and international crime syndicates .
Pig Butchering Scam? He is one of the alleged ringleaders of online investment frauds that have reaped hundreds of millions of pesos from Filipinos and foreigners.
POGO-protected town? Bamban has been turned into a nest of illegal foreign workers, under his “protection.”
Chinese Mafia Links? According to insiders, he has a “direct line” to syndicates based in mainland China.
Suddenly Escaped! Alice Guo, International Fugitive
As the evidence spread, it seemed like his next move was scripted — fleeing the country in July 2024.
Together with some of his accomplices, he attempted to flee to Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia using fake passports and private jet routes.
Interpol Red Notice: Interpol has issued an international alert against him.
But she didn’t get away.
September 3, 2024 – Alice Guo was arrested in Tangerang, Indonesia in an international manhunt operation. Several government officials and Chinese nationals were also arrested with her.
The Empire Collapses: Jailed, No Bail, and Mayoralty Removed
Upon his return to the Philippines, he was immediately detained in the Pasig City Jail . Several cases were filed against him, including:
Qualified Human Trafficking
Large-scale Money Laundering
Falsification of Public Documents
Tax Evasion
Espionage and Cybercrime
On June 27, 2025 , his term as mayor was formally declared “null and void.” According to the court, his tenure was never legitimate — because he was not a true Filipino.
The War Inside the Prison
Inside the prison, Guo is not safe either. There are reports that there is a bounty on his head from his own colleagues who fear that all the information will be revealed in the upcoming hearings.
According to the Bureau of Corrections, he is in isolation and under tight security. Ordinary visitors are not allowed, and only lawyers can approach him.
The Bigger Conspiracy: Is There a Bigger Syndicate?
As the investigation continues, it turns out that Guo is not alone. There are names of other officials, POGO operators, and local executives who are said to have aided his escape, deception, and concealment.
It is possible that there is a “Chinese-funded operation” actively operating inside the Philippines using people like Guo to control local governments.
If this is true, Alice Guo’s case may be just the first piece of a larger puzzle.
Warning to the Nation: “Is this just an Alice Guo?”
Alice Guo’s story is a chilling reminder of how the system can be cheated by a foreigner — with money, connections, and determination.
The people’s questions now:
How many more Alice Guos have been in government?
How did he get to the place without being caught right away?
And who is truly motivating him?
FINAL THOUGHTS: From Mayor, To Prison — A Spy Exposed
From the political stage, Alice Guo fell into the sealed prison of justice. But the fight is not over yet — because the entire country is watching .
And if there’s one lesson we can learn from this, it’s simple:
Not all smiles are genuine.
Not all mayors are Filipino.
And not all saviors are without secrets.
