MULI na namang ipina-contempt ng mga senador si dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo dahil sa patuloy na pagsisinungaling nito ukol sa kanyang pagkakakilanlan.
Ito ay matapos na paulit-ulit na tumanggi si Guo na sagutin ang mga tanong ng mga senador kaugnay sa kanyang tunay na pagkatao.
“Alice Guo is continuing to lie to this committee despite glaring evidence that she is a Chinese national named Guo Hua Ping, whose father Jian Zhong Guo is Chinese based on her own declaration in this committee, and whose mother Lin Wen Yi is also Chinese based on her own declarations in bank documents by the way verified by the AMLC,” ani Senador Risa Hontiveros, chairperson ng Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality.
“This is a blatant defiance of the legislative’s constitutional power of inquiry. Lumalabas na pinaglalaruan mo ang aming batas at pinapaikot mo ang mga Pilipino, pero ibahin mo ang Senado,” dagdag pa ni Hontiveros.
Dahil dito kaya ipina-contempt ni Hontiveros si Guo. Sinuportahan ni Sen. Joel Villanueva ang nasabing mosyon.
“I second the motion,” ayon kay Villanueva.
