Meanwhile, Guo’s camp is preparing for her Senate appearance on Monday.

Atty. Nicole Jamilla confirmed Guo’s attendance following to a court order under the jurisdiction of the Regional Trial Court of Capas, Tarlac.

“We abreast her kung ano ‘yung before na nangyari sa hearings, kung ano ‘yung mga na-discuss. Pinaliwanag namin din ‘yung rights niya and at the same time, ‘yung mga issue na binabato sa kanya,” Jamilla said.

(We abreast her on what happened before during the hearings, including what was discussed. We also explained her rights and, at the same time, the issues being raised against her.)

Jamilla added that Guo expressed regret to the government staff who were criticized due to the selfies taken during her arrest.

“Dun sa mga nakakakilala talaga sa kanya, ganun ‘yung personality niya— napaka-jolly, laging naka-smile, so ang point lang talaga naman niya is to send a message to everyone na okay siya,” she said.

(For those who really know her, that's her personality—very jolly and always smiling. Her main point is to send a message to everyone that she's doing okay.)
