MANILA — Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo will still run for mayor in Tarlac, according to her legal counsel, Atty. Stephen David.
“Kailangan niyang tumakbo para ipakita niya talaga ‘yung pagmamahal niya sa taumbayan… Kung talagang gusto siya ng tao doon [sa Bamban], sila dapat ang humusga… kung siya ba ay karapat-dapat na manungkulan,” David said.
“Definitely, she will be running for mayor,” he added, explaining that the cases filed against her are not yet final.
David confirmed that Guo will be filing her Certificate of Candidacy (COC) on October 8.
He also emphasized that the court has yet to release a decision regarding Guo’s citizenship.
“Wala namang desisyon ang courts as of now na hindi siya Pilipino,” he said.
