NBI: P50-K reward for Alice Leal Guo of QC

The National Bureau of Investigation is offering a P50,000 reward for any information leading to the whereabouts of the Alice Leal Guo who has an address in Quezon City.

According to Sandra Aguinaldo's report on "24 Oras," the NBI wants to ask the person some questions in its investigation of recent revelations in the related Senate hearings.

NBI clearance records showed two women with the name Alice Leal Guo, one is from Bamban, Tarlac and the other is from Quezon City.

While suspended Bamban, Tarlac Alice Guo has faced Senate committee hearings, the Alice Leal Guo from Quezon City has yet to surface.

"Concealing true name... Bakit mo ginawa 'yun? Sinong may utos sa 'yo?" NBI director Jaime Santiago said when asked what the bureau sought from the less prominent Alice Leal Guo.

Santiago theorized that someone may have instructed the woman to get an NBI clearance using the name Alice Leal Guo with a birthdate on July 12, 1986, and birthplace in Tarlac.

"For whatever purpose," Santiago said.

There is still no known link between the two Alice Leal Guos but Sen. Risa Hontiveros has surmised that the Bamban mayor may have taken the identity of the Alice Leal Guo from Quezon City.

The NBI has found that the Bamban local official and a Chinese passport holder, Guo Hua Ping, have the same fingerprints, indicating that they were one person.

Guo has repeatedly said that she was a Filipino amid questions regarding her identity.

Guo's citizenship and identity came under scrutiny after government agents raided a Philippine offshore gaming operation hub in Bamban for alleged criminal activity. —NB, GMA Integrated News
