Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo attends a House probe on illegal POGOs, narcotics, and alleged EJKs during the Duterte Administration in Quezon City on September 19, 2024. Mark Demayo, ABS-CBN News MANILA – The Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 167 has issued a commitment order against former Bamban mayor Alice Guo for her non-bailable qualified trafficking case in connection with the operation of illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
In the decision of Presiding Judge Annielyn Medes-Cabelis, the court ordered the transfer of Guo from the Philippine National Police custodial facility in Camp Crame to the Pasig City Jail Female Dormitory.
The court also ordered the transfer of Guo’s co-accused Walter Wong Long from the Tarlac Provincial Jail to the Pasig City Jail Male Dormitory.
“All the accused in these cases are not entitled to post bail as the charges against them are all non-bailable,” said Medes-Cabelis.

Guo is facing a separate graft case before the Valenzuela court for allegedly using her position to facilitate the operations of a gambling hub in Bamban.
The Philippine National Police said it would follow the Pasig court order. It is only waiting for the disposition from the Valenzuela court, said PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo.
Guo was set to appear for an arraignment at the Valenzuela RTC on Friday afternoon.
After this, she will temporarily return to the PNP Custodial Center and undergo a medical examination, before she is transferred to the Pasig jail.
She has denied alleged links to Chinese organized crime.

Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla urged Guo's co-accused surrender to authorities.
“To the remaining co-accused still playing hide-and-seek with authorities, immediately surrender without hesitation or asking any condition, the law will definitely catch-up with you,” Remulla said.
