The Commission on Elections (Comelec) stated it cannot automatically cancel Alice Guo's candidacy for the 2025 elections, despite her dismissal as mayor of Bamban, Tarlac. Comelec is reviewing the Ombudsman's decision on her perpetual disqualification, which is enforceable. Guo faces multiple charges, including graft and money laundering, and is currently detained. She has not yet decided on running for reelection.
