MANILA — The Senate will take custody of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo upon her return to the Philippines from Indonesia, where she was nabbed following her alleged escape in July, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said Wednesday.

In a press conference, Hontiveros said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) committed to hand over Guo to the Senate after immigration processing.

"Sabi ng NBI pagkatapos siyang i-process nila at Bureau of Immigration ay itu-turn over siya sa atin sa Senado," Hontiveros said.
