Shiela Guo, the supposed sister of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, said on Tuesday that Cassandra Li Ong is Wesley Guo's girlfriend.
The statement was made during a Senate inquiry on how the two met as they were captured together in Indonesia. Ong is the incorporator of the raided POGO Lucky South 99.
"Si Cassandra Ong kanina narinig ko noong tinanong ni Senator Risa, nakilala mo lang siya sa Malaysia, hindi mo siya dito nakilala sa Pilipinas?," Senator Sherwin Gatchalian asked.
"Hindi pangalan lang ang narinig ko sa Pilipinas," Shiela answered.
Shiela said she heard Ong's name from Wesley Guo.
"Mukhang girlfriend niya yata -- Pero di ko pa nakita," said Shiela.
When asked if Wesley was involved in the operations of the raided POGO in Porac, Shiela said she didn’t know because they didn’t talk about work.
"Hindi kami kwento kung sa trabaho, wala. Kaya di ko alam," she said. However, Shiela mentioned that she doesn’t know how long the two have been together.
During the initial part of the hearing, Shiela stated that she only met Ong in Malaysia after a series of boat rides from the Philippines.
However, Gatchalian pointed out that travel records contradicted Shiela's statement, revealing that they had flown together along with Alice Guo, Wesley Guo, Katherine Cassandra Li Ong, and Warren Yu.
Shiela confirmed this but clarified that although she saw Ong, she didn’t know her.
"Yun kasi, kita ko siya pero hindi kami kakilala. Pangalan lang ang alam [ko]. Sabay kami pero hindi kami kasama," she said.
Gatchalian, however, was not convinced by Guo’s response and said, “Pero magkasabay kayo sa flight tapos girlfriend niya si Cassandra. Paanong ‘di kayo magkasama eh three days kayo [doon]...Hindi first time kayo magkakilala.”
Meanwhile, Shiela said she might have forgotten.
Earlier in the hearing, Shiela confirmed that they reached Malaysia through several boat rides with her alleged siblings, Alice and Wesley.
However, Shiela mentioned that she had no idea about Alice’s whereabouts, as Alice left before they were captured in Indonesia.
Ong and Shiela returned to the Philippines on August 22.
