Unmasking the Mystery of Bamban Mayor: Unconnected or Underconnected?
For years now I’ve been suggesting that the political interests and thus, activities, of the People’s Republic of China should not be confused with the political and social clout of POGOs who exist in defiance of the Chinese government.
- Senate Hearings Raise More Questions Than Answers: The Philippine Senate hearings into Bamban Mayor Alice Guo's background have yielded little clarity.
- President Marcos Expresses Confusion: President Marcos is unfamiliar with Guo, highlighting a broader issue of political newcomers.
- Guo's Unanswered Questions: Guo has been tight-lipped about her connections to raided POGO firms.
- Journalist Connects the Dots: Veteran journalist John Berthelsen links Guo's company to individuals involved in Singapore's biggest money laundering case.
- Guo Denies Knowledge of Partners' Background: Guo claims ignorance about her business partners' criminal records.
- Discrepancies in Guo's Ownership: Guo claims to have sold land and assets linked to the POGO operations.
