The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has filed charges against former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo for material misrepresentation in her 2022 candidacy. Guo is accused of falsely declaring her eligibility while being a Chinese citizen. The charges were submitted to the Tarlac Regional Trial Court on October 26. Comelec claims Guo violated election laws by filing her certificate of candidacy despite her citizenship status. Guo, dismissed from her mayoral position in August, faces multiple legal issues, including graft and money laundering. Her Philippine passport was revoked after her identity was linked to a Chinese passport holder.
