Baptismal certificates of Alice Guo's siblings fake —Gatchalian

The baptismal certificates of the alleged siblings of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo are fake, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said.

During the hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Monday, Gatchalian said they discovered that Seimen Leal Guo and Wesley Leal Guo had baptismal certificates, supposedly issued by a parish in Caloocan. 

The documents indicated that they were issued by the “Parokya ng San Roque.” 

It noted that both Seimen Guo and Wesley Guo were born in Caloocan City and that their father was “Angelito Guo” and their mother was “Amelia Leal.”

“We requested for some documents and we found out na itong dalawang taong ito, si Seimen Leal Guo and si Wesley Leal Guo meron silang baptismal certificate coming from a church in Caloocan,” Gatchalian said.

(We requested for some documents and we found out that these two, Seimen Leal Guo and Wesley Leal Guo had baptismal certificates from a church in Caloocan.)

However, in a letter to Gatchalian dated June 6, the San Roque Cathedral Parish denied issuing such baptismal certificates.

“In reference to your request for a copy of the baptismal certificates… please be informed that we did not find any baptismal records of the said individuals,” Parochial Vicar Rev. Fr. Leo Pepito said.

Due to this, Gatchalian said the baptismal certificates were “spurious.”

“In other words, itong baptismal certificate na binigay sa Caloocan is spurious, fake. Finake nila ‘yun,” he said. 

(In other words, the baptismal certificate given to Caloocan is spurious, fake. They faked it.)

He said this was issued by a certain Antonio Alcalde.

According to Lucena Flores of the Caloocan City Civil Registry Office, Alcalde passed away already.

“Unfortunately, namatay na po siya (he has passed away),” Flores said when asked if Alcalde was still with the Civil Registry Office.

Guo, who has been issued a Senate arrest order, is at the center of a Senate inquiry on her alleged links to the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator hub in her locality. Her identity as a Filipino is also under scrutiny. 

The National Bureau of Investigation has confirmed that Guo and Chinese passport holder Guo Hua Ping have the same fingerprints.

In the Guo family's Special Investor's Resident Visa (SIRV), Lin Wen Yi is also the registered mother of Chinese passport holder Guo Hua Ping.

The NBI also confirmed that Guo’s brother, Wesley Leal Guo, has the same fingerprints as Chinese citizen Guo Xiang Dan.

Aside from this, Guo is facing a human trafficking complaint in relation to the raided POGO hub before the Department of Justice. She was referred to as “a.k.a Guo Hua Ping” in the complaint.

A petition seeking to remove Alice Guo from office has also been filed before a Manila court.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
