Earlier, it was reported that Guo's x-ray findings indicated that she had a possible lung infection.

Due to this, she was initially transferred to a cell for isolation with three inmates with tuberculosis.

From the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City, Guo was transferred to the Pasig City Jail at  9:14 a.m. Monday. Her convoy left the detention facility in Camp Crame at 8:49 a.m.

Due to security concerns, Guo's camp hoped that she would remain in the custody of the PNP.

Guo's transfer was ordered by the Pasig City Regional Trial Court-Branch 167, which is hearing her non-bailable case of qualified human trafficking.—RF, GMA Integrated News
