MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed 70 criminal complaints against former Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and several of her relatives over alleged falsification and violations of the Anti-Dummy Law.
The complaints accuse Guo and her family of misrepresenting their citizenship to establish businesses and acquire real estate in Marilao, Bulacan.
In a statement on Thursday, October 2, the NBI said the cases were lodged before the Malolos, Bulacan Prosecutor’s Office by its Bulacan South District Office (BUSDO).
Chinese identity bared. The probe stemmed from a Senate inquiry earlier this year, which revealed that Guo’s true identity is Guo Hua Ping, a Chinese national. Investigators also identified her relative Shiela Leal Guo, also known as Mier Zhang, as a Chinese national.
NBI findings showed Alice, Shiela, and Siemen Guo acted as incorporators in six firms—including QJJ Group of Companies Inc., QSeed Genetics Inc., and QJJ Slaughter House Inc.—all registered at a shared corporate address on Maligaya Street, Barangay Patubig, Marilao.
The three allegedly declared themselves as Filipinos in the companies’ incorporation papers to secure majority ownership of shares.
Co-incorporators Guo Jian Zhong and Lin Wen Yi were also implicated.
The address is tied to a 4,636-square-meter property bought by Alice Guo on Oct. 5, 2010, for P2 million—a purchase now under dispute.
Breakdown of charges
The NBI detailed the following cases against Guo and her relatives:
- 30 counts of falsification of public documents tied to incorporation papers, a secretary’s certificate, and a 2021 general information sheet.
- 30 counts of simulation of minimum capital stock under Section 2 of the Anti-Dummy Law (Commonwealth Act No. 108).
- Four counts of falsification of public documents related to business, occupancy, and building permit applications.
- Six additional counts of falsification against Guo Hua Ping for allegedly falsifying the deed of sale and documentary stamps in the Marilao property purchase.
Guo is currently detained at the Pasig City Jail on separate charges, including money laundering, qualified human trafficking, graft, obstruction of justice, falsification, and perjury.
She was previously dismissed as Bamban mayor over her alleged ties to illegal gaming hubs and offshore gaming operations in her town, which investigators said were fronts for online scams and human trafficking.
