MANILA — Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, Police Col. Jean Fajardo, assured the public on Saturday, September 7, 2024, that there will be no special treatment for dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
When asked how the PNP can guarantee no preferential treatment for Guo, Fajardo urged the public to trust the police.
“You have to trust your PNP; there will truly be no special treatment. When she was first brought to the custodial facility, we thoroughly documented it,” Fajardo said in a radio interview.
She added, “What you see in other detention facilities is exactly where Alice Guo is now being held,” noting that the former mayor is using the same detention cell previously occupied by former senator Leila de Lima.
Guo arrived in the country on September 6 at around 1:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, the Capas Regional Trial Court, Branch 109, has allowed Guo to attend the Senate hearing on Monday at 10 a.m., which will investigate illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
