The President said the Department of Justice is "almost" finished with its "very thorough" investigation of Guo's departure last month.

"Very, very good idea. I have a very good idea," Marcos said when asked whose heads would roll during a chance interview at Malacanang.

However, he refused to disclose how many people were involved in Guo's escape.

"Is there only one person involved or are there many, or is it a syndicate? That's what we are doing. There are no sacred cows," he said.

"We will identify all of those who have, all of those who are involved in this, and we will act very quickly," he added.

The President also confirmed that there will be some personnel from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) who will be sacked.

Guo is facing complaints over her alleged involvement in illegal offshore gaming operations in the country.

She reportedly left the Philippines on July 18 using her Philippine passport. She flew to Malaysia and Singapore before taking refuge in Indonesia.
