00:00The position of the office of the ombudsman, Alice Guo, has been removed from the position of the mayor of Bamban, Tarlac.
00:07Luisa Erispe has the details.
00:12Two months after the ombudsman suspended Alice Guo as the mayor of Bamban, Tarlac,
00:18today, she was removed from her position.
00:21The ombudsman decided to dismiss her as the mayor of Bamban.
00:26She can no longer hold any position in the government.
00:30Based on 25 pages of the decision, Guo is guilty of grave misconduct
00:35due to her connection to the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator or POGO Hub in Bamban.
00:40The gate of the ombudsman, a public official, should not move in her own interest while serving the public.
00:48Due to the decision, Guo will not receive any benefit from her service.
00:54It should be noted that the decision of the ombudsman was based on the petition of the Department of Interior and Local Government
01:00to remove Guo as the mayor.
01:02The Office of the Solicitor General said that it will be allowed to issue a warrant to petition against Guo to remove her from her position.
01:10Their petition will not be ignored because Guo's camp can still appeal the decision.
01:17And its target is not to remove Guo from any position in the government.
01:22Meanwhile, the Commission on Elections continued to pursue Guo, not because of her connection to POGO,
01:30but because of the possibility that she will lie in her Certificate of Candidacy in 2022 that she is a Filipino.
01:38Komilex hired Guo's farm as the subpoena for the misrepresentation complaint.
01:45But the mayor is no show.
01:47The person who opened the door for us earlier, he has no authority.
01:54He doesn't want to mention his name to be accepted.
01:57But he was still accepted for the purpose of accomplishing our subpoena for the respondent.
02:05They went to the municipality of Bamban.
02:08And here, the subpoena was accepted.
02:10But there are few people there.
02:12They don't know if it can be sent to the mayor.
02:15Actually, we don't accept subpoenas for the mayor.
02:22We accepted it so that we can have a copy here.
02:26But we don't know where the mayor is.
02:30Even though Guo personally obtained the subpoena, he still considers that it was formally accepted.
02:37From tomorrow, Mayor Alice Guo will be given 10 days to answer the subpoena that was filed against her.
02:44Even though she didn't answer, the complaint is still going on.
02:48For now, Guo's farm has no say in the decision of Ombudsman and the subpoena that Komilex hired.
