PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil made the statement when asked by reporters about information circulating on social media platforms that Guo's family is connected with the CCP.

Marbil said he directed the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the Intelligence Group (IG) to investigate all the information related to Guo.

"The CIDG and IG, I tasked them to conduct investigation regarding the mayor," he told reporters at Camp Crame.

A video posted on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that

Guo's family is a large family that extends across Asia originating from Fujian.

The narrator said Fujian is a hotbed of the CCP's united front work.

Guo is accused of having ties with a Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) hub in Bamban which was raided last March due to alleged illegal activities.
