Court rules Alice Guo a Chinese national

Manila Bulletin

|

June 30 2025

The Manila City regional trial court (RTC) has nullified the 2022 proclamation of Alice L. Guo as mayor of Bamban, Tarlac for being a Chinese national.

- By JEFFREY DAMICOG

"Alice Leal Guo is nothing more but a usurper of the Office of the Mayor of Bamban, Tarlac. It follows, therefore, that her proclamation was deemed void," the RTC ruled in a decision handed down by Judge Liwliwa Hidalgo-Bucu of Branch 34.

In 2024, the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) ordered the dismissal of Guo as mayor for grave misconduct on complaints filed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Thereafter, the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) filed a quo warranto case against Guo before the Manila RTC and challenged her authority and qualification to discharge the functions of Bamban town mayor.

The OSG told the court that Guo Hua Ping arrived in the Philippines on July 12, 1999 with her Chinese parents, Guo Juan Zhong and Lin Wenyi.

Nuclear not threat to JERA's PH LNG

Transition energy giant JERA Co. Inc. sees the growing openness of multilateral development banks (MDBs) to finance nuclear power as complementary—not a threat—to its liquefied natural gas (LNG) business, as both technologies can play distinct roles in helping developing countries like the Philippines manage the “energy trilemma” of security, affordability, and sustainability, according to a top official.
