MANILA (UPDATED) -- After being portrayed as one of the alleged big bosses of illegal POGOs, dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo on Tuesday declared herself as a "victim" as she vowed to tell all in a Senate executive session.

"Di po ako mastermind. Masasabi ko po isa po akong victim... I think sa tagal po ng investigation, alam na rin po ng committee...who is really at the back of everything," Guo told the Senate Committee on Women. 

Asked if she was being used by a criminal syndicate, Guo said: "Your honor, 'di naman po sa ginamit. If ever po, kung meron po akong naitulong, ano po akong tao, helpful akong tao. Kung meron man po, 'yun lang po."

"Sa mga activities po na ginawa or sa mga allegtions po, wala po akong kinalaman," she added.

When asked if she was willing to identify the "most guilty" in the illegal POGO operations, she said "yes."

The panel finally agreed to hold an executive session after Guo promised to disclose information that she was afraid to share in a public hearing due to supposed death threats.

Guo said she was thankful but requested to delay the executive session due to the absence of her main lawyer Stephen David, who would return to Manila from Cebu on Thursday. 

"I really advise you to take advantage of this moment," Hontiveros said.

Guo eventually agreed to an executive session. 

The executive session only lasted a few minutes since the Senators needed to attend the 3 p.m. session. 

"May napala naman," said Senator JV Ejercito. 

The executive session will be continued next week. -- with a report from Victoria Tulad, ABS-CBN News
