How did Alice Guo flee the Philippines? Officials’ contradictions fuel cover-up suspicions
Philippine officials are facing scrutiny over how former mayor Alice Guo, suspected of ties to illegal offshore gaming, was able to flee the country last year. Despite being under investigation and facing accusations of faking her Filipino identity, Guo successfully left the Philippines, sparking accusations of a potential cover-up.
Guo's escape route has been a subject of debate, with the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) suggesting she may have taken a "back door" route via boat from Tawi-Tawi to Malaysia, then onward to Indonesia. This theory contradicts verified records of her actual route, which involved traveling to Malaysia first, and then to Indonesia, where she was apprehended and extradited back to Manila.
