Gatchalian made the challenge after the Senate investigation on Guo's alleged links to illegal offshore gaming activities bared more disturbing details about her family.

He said Guo's family business corporate records showed Guo's father Jian Zhong Guo, siblings Shiela and Seimen, and a certain Lin Wen Yi, as incorporators. Lin Wen Yi is allegedly her Chinese mother with the Filipino name "Winnie." "I call on the two to have a DNA test to find out if they are related or not. She has nothing to lose," Gatchalian said in an interview with dzBB on Friday.

The senator said he has sources in Valenzuela, his family's political turf, that the Guo family used to have a warehouse there and that people knew Lin Wen Yi or "Winnie" as the mother.
