For several days now, the Senate, the House of Representatives, Comelec and lately, President Bongbong Marcos, have entered their respective comments or speculations about Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac. With this special focus on Mayor Guo by the ‘high and mighty’ of government, a huge, probably, millions of the people’s money must have been spent, or wasted?
We wonder, in the first place, why this issue of Mayor Guo’s real citizenship came up only now, when Mayor Alice Guo have officially sat as Bamban Mayor since June 2022. How did this Guo mystery come up all of a sudden? Keen observers of the national political scene cannot help but ask “How did Comelec or even the Bamban public officials, or DILG authorities practically approved Ms. Alice Guo as qualified to run as a candidate for Mayor of Bamban?”
This Guo mystery cropped up because of the related issue about the role of POGOS in the country, that started proliferating since former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte publicly showed his friendship with President Xi Jin Ping of the People’s Republic of China. The fact is the Senate, a year or two back, have brought up the possibility of completely stopping the operation of Pogos, given its controversial presence as a gambling hub in the country.
This GUO mystery can be resolved soonest IF there is genuine pro-people and pro-Philippines stance of our ‘high and mighty’ public officials starting, of course, with President Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte. And surer still will this mystery be ended with more of the people’s millions of pesos SAVED once our public officials can unselfishly shed off their dynastic attitudes and truly serve the people!
