The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed additional string of criminal charges against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and several of her relatives for falsifying documents and violating the country’s anti-dummy law in connection with business operations and land acquisition in Marilao, Bulacan.
The NBI reported on Thursday, October 2, that its Bulacan South District Office (BUSDO) filed 34 counts of falsification of public documents—30 counts involving forged Articles of Incorporation, Secretary’s Certificates, and a 2021 General Information Sheet of six companies, and four counts for falsified applications for business, occupancy, and business permits.
The bureau named Guo—also known as Guo Hua Ping—as a respondent along with Mire Zhang (alias Shiela Leal Guo), Mier Zhang, Seimen Guo, and Lin Wen Yi.
Investigators confirmed that the Guo family incorporated at least six companies—QJJ Group of Companies Inc., QSeed Genetics Inc., QJJ Meat Shop Inc., QJJ Slaughter House Inc., QJJ Smelting Plant Inc., and QJJ Embroidery Center Inc.—all using the same address on Maligaya Street, Barangay Patubig, Marilao.
Records show that Guo purchased a 4,636-square-meter property in the area on October 5, 2010, for P2 million.
The NBI said Guo, Shiela, and Seimen declared themselves as Filipinos and majority shareholders in the incorporation papers, while her alleged parents, Guo Jian Zhong and Lin Wen Yi, acted as co-incorporators.
The bureau also charged Guo with six more counts of falsification of public documents for allegedly forging the deed of sale and affixing false documentary stamps related to the property’s transfer of ownership.
Guo is now detained at the Pasig City Jail on a string of cases, from money laundering and qualified human trafficking to graft, obstruction of justice, falsification, and perjury.*
