00:00 After the preventive suspension imposed by Ombudsman, the case of Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo could be added.
00:08 The mayor said he is ready to help the authorities to clear the allegations against him.
00:15 Malitang Hatid with Joseph Moro.
00:17 On May 24, Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo filed a complaint with the Ombudsman.
00:26 This is in connection with the involvement of the illegal operation of POGO in his area
00:30 which was raided by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC on March 13.
00:35 Under the order of Ombudsman Samuel Martinez, who was signed on May 31,
00:39 Guo was suspended for up to six months without salary.
00:43 Even Municipal Officer Aiden Sigua and Business Permit and Licensing Officer Edwin Ocampo.
00:49 The Ombudsman said there is strong evidence that shows guilt or responsibility
00:54 that could be the reason for their dismissal from the office.
00:57 Their stay in their position could affect the investigation that will be conducted against them.
01:03 The order is also immediately executory.
01:05 The Ombudsman imposed a preventive suspension against Mayor Guo and two others so that they will not be influenced.
01:12 The Ombudsman will conduct an investigation on the complaint filed against them by the DILG.
01:19 The DILG filed an administrative complaint against the Ombudsman for violating the illegal POGO operation
01:25 of Hong Seng and Sun Yuan in the land of Baufo Land Development Inc., where President Guo is.
01:32 Guo applied for clearance to build buildings in Baufo and invite businessmen there in 2019.
01:39 When Mayor Guo was not yet there, he also went to Baufo to ask for a letter of no objection to the Sanggunian Bayan.
01:46 The company also has a 50 percent share in the company,
01:50 even though Guo said he sold the shares when he won the mayoralty in 2022.
01:55 But the DILG said that the shares of Guo were only released or simulated and there are still shares in Baufo.
02:03 After becoming mayor, Guo gave a business permit to the POGO operation of Hong Seng,
02:08 even though his license was already canceled, and to the company Sun Yuan.
02:13 Even though the Sun Yuan has a cease and desist order, his business permit was not yet canceled.
02:20 Ocampo was upset with the complaint because of the issue of the permit to Sun Yuan, even though the document is not complete.
02:26 Guo's land was bought by the owner of Baufo,
02:30 because the Sanggunian Bayan members did not investigate the Sun Yuan's license to operate.
02:37 The DILG said that Guo was sure that they did a good job and Ocampo will do their job regarding the fulfillment of the Sun Yuan's requirements.
02:46 The committee that is investigating Guo in the Senate said that the mayor should be suspended.
02:54 They hope that not all of them will be arrested because they have information that Guo is preventing the investigation after the raid on Pogo in Pamban.
03:02 It's clear that Guo has a connection with Pogo, which he is being held responsible for hacking and smuggling.
03:08 Guo said in a Facebook post that he is accepting the suspension.
03:12 He is also ready to help to ensure the truth of the justice.
03:16 This is also a chance for him to clarify the usual fights against him.
03:20 In the face of the Alcalde, he has no fault and he is serving the justice.
03:25 He will continue to defend his integrity and humanity.
03:29 In a separate statement, Guo's lawyer said that the role of the LGU in the administration is limited,
03:35 just like the issue of business permits.
03:37 Guo also said that Pagur has authority in the Pogo operations.
03:43 The statement also suggested that Ocampo should be suspended while GMA Integrated News is trying to get the Panig of Sigua.
03:50 Aside from the complaint of the DILG, Guo may face tax evasion complaints and other local officials.
03:57 He is being prepared by PAOC.
03:59 As far as we are concerned, we have seen his violations.
04:04 We can also sue him for violations of the Security Regulation Code,
04:08 even if it's the officials of Hong Sheng, Sun Yung Wan and Bau.
04:14 Joseph Morong is the reporter for GMA Integrated News.
