MANILA, Philippines — Is “Guo Hua Ping” the real Alice Guo?

Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian raised this question on Tuesday, citing documents from the Board of Investments (BOI) and Bureau of Immigration (BI) as legislators investigating Alice Guo continue to try to establish the suspended Bamban mayor’s true identity.

“Alice Guo might be Guo Hua Ping, who entered the Philippines on January 12, 2003, when she was 13 years old,” Gatchalian told reporters in a Viber message.

The documents from the Guo family’s application for a Special Investors Resident Visa (SIRV) indicate that Guo Hua Ping’s real birth date is August 31, 1990, Gatchalian pointed out.

He also noted that Guo Hua Ping’s “registered mother” in the SIRV is a Chinese woman named Lin Wen Yi.

Gatchalian’s latest revelation opposes Mayor Guo’s earlier pronouncement that she was a “lovechild” of her father and his housekeeper.

To recall, the Bamban executive already denied that Lin Wen Yi was her mother, insisting that she is only a simple Filipino citizen who was raised on a farm.

This, despite documents and information provided by Gatchalian and Sen. Risa Hontiveros showing Guo’s alleged ties to her suspected mother Lin Wen Yi.

Contrary to Gatchalian’s revelation, suspended Mayor Guo likewise indicated in her official certificate of candidacy that her birth date was July 12, 1986, and that her place of birth was Tarlac.

But what would it entail if it were proven that Alice Guo’s real identity is Guo Hua Ping? For Gatchalian, this would only strengthen the quo warranto case against Guo.

The suspended mayor has been the subject of scrutiny after the Senate committee on women bared her alleged ties to Zun Yuan Technology, an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator in Bamban, Tarlac.

Guo, however, repeatedly denied all accusations hurled against her, including being an alleged China spy.
