BI sees Wesley Guo arrest in Indonesia 'one of these days'

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is expecting Indonesian authorities to soon apprehend Wesley Guo, the supposed brother of dismissed Bamban mayor Alice Guo.

Interviewed on Unang Balita, BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval on Friday said Wesley has no travel records outside of Indonesia and is presumed to remain inside the country.

"Si Wesley expected natin na one of these days ay maibabalik na rin ng Indonesian immigration. Ngayon, we were told by Indonesia na wala pa siyang travels outside or palabas ng Indonesia. He is presumed to be inside their country," said Sandoval.

(We are expecting Indonesian immigration to arrest and return Wesley one of these days. We were told he has no travel history outside of Indonesia so he is presumed to be still inside their country.)

Last Thursday, the BI said Indonesian authorities have been looking for Wesley. Sandoval said their Indonesian counterparts have been "very helpful" and are coordinating well with them following the arrest of Alice Guo in Tangerang City early Wednesday morning. The former mayor was brought back to the Philippines early Friday morning.

Indonesian authorities were also successful in apprehending Alice and Wesley's supposed sister, Shiela Guo, and her companion Cassandra Li Ong in Batam City last August.

Lawyer Stephen David, legal counsel of Guo, earlier said Wesley intimated that he wants surrender. However, their camp is unaware of his whereabouts.

Authorities earlier said that Wesley, who is among the personalities ordered arrested by the Senate, had attempted to fly to Hong Kong during the last week of August.

According to Shiela, she left the Philippines with Alice and Wesley via three boat rides going to Malaysia. From there, they flew to Singapore then went to Batam, Indonesia via ferry.

Shiela said she parted ways with Wesley and Alice in Batam, Indonesia where she and Cassandra Li Ong were arrested.

Ong is the authorized representative of Lucky South 99, a raided POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga. Ong is Wesley's girlfriend, according to Shiela. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
