A Pasig court has denied bail for Alice Guo, the former mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, in her qualified trafficking case. The court cited strong evidence presented by the prosecution during the bail hearing. Guo is currently detained at the Pasig City Jail Female Dormitory. She faces multiple charges, including violations of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, linked to a raid on a gaming hub in June that rescued over 800 individuals. In addition to the trafficking case, Guo is involved in several other legal issues, including graft, tax evasion, and money laundering. She has pleaded not guilty and continues to deny all allegations against her.
