The Bureau of Immigration (BI) disclosed on Monday that Alice Guo’s passport does not contain any Philippine immigration stamps.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco revealed that the bureau thoroughly reviewed Guo’s passport following her arrival on September 6.
Guo’s passport, issued on September 4, 2020, in Angeles and valid until 2030, lists her birthplace as Tarlac, Tarlac.
“We have reviewed the contents of her passport upon her arrival and found out that she has the same immigration stamps as her alleged sister Shiela. No Philippine stamps were found in both passports, showing that they left the country illegally without undergoing regular immigration inspection," said Tansingco.
Addressing concerns over images of BI agents during Guo’s arrest, Tansingco stated, “Just like our colleagues at the NBI, we believe this has been misinterpreted, as the agents were just elated having completed the operation successfully. There is no inappropriate conduct, and no disrespect was intended. We take our work seriously and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism.”
Tansingco emphasized that Guo’s upcoming Senate hearing could provide crucial information regarding her illegal departure and the establishment of illegal online gaming operations in the Philippines.
Guo is scheduled to appear before the Senate on Monday.
