The controversial mayor of Bamban Tarlac officially made her statement on Monday to explain issues including her true identity, which has led her to admit that she is her father's love child.
"Alang-alang sa aking mga kababayan na nagtitiwala at nagmamahal sa akin ay buong tapang ko pong sasabihin na ako po’y isang love child ng mahal kong ama sa aming kasambahay. Na ako po ay iniwan ng aking biological mother bata pa ako noon," said Guo in a lengthy message posted on her official Facebook page.
Guo said she was kept a secret and was raised on a farm.
"At ako'y pinalaki at itinago sa loob ng isang farm. Pinalaking matindi ang pag-iwas sa mga bagay na magbibigay sana sa akin ng pagkakakilanlan sa labas ng aming hog-raising farm," Guo said.
"Totoo po ang sinabi ko sa Senado na home tutoring lang po ang edukasyon ko. Na wala akong papel o diploma ng isang pormal na edukasyon kahit ano man baitang," she noted.
Guo said she only knew her mother's name when her birth was registered when she was already a teenager.
For the mayor, the previous Senate hearing was "traumatic," as she did not experience a normal childhood and was hoping that she had answers to all the questions thrown at her.
"Ang pag-iwas ko rin pong magsinungaling sa aking mga sagot ay sanhi ng pagmamahal ko at pag-aalala sa mahal kong ama. Sa kanyang edad na 70 ay ayaw ko na pong makaladkad siya sa aking pinagdaraanan," Guo said.
"Nangarap po ako at nagsikap para sa isang normal na buhay sa kabila ng kakulangan sa aking pagkakakilanlan. At hangad ko noon hanggang sa ngayon na maipagmalaki ako ng aking ama kahit anak nya ako sa labas ng matrimonya," she added.
The fact that her mother abandoned her, Guo said she hid it from the public because she allegedly hoped that they would meet again.
"Lalo na po sa Senado na nakatuon ang mga mata ng buong bayan. Dahil naniniwala pa rin po akong magkakatagpo kami, sana, sa tamang panahon at hindi sa pagkakataong hinugot sa isang imbestigasyon," she furthered.
It can be recalled during Guo's first hearing in the Senate when she was asked about her identity, rooted in rumors that she is not a Filipino citizen.
The mayor failed to answer several questions, such as her educational background and late registered birth certificate.
The Commission on Election earlier warned Guo that she could face perjury if proven guilty of lying that she is a Filipino.
In an ambush interview on May 16, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Guo needs to be investigated as he is unfamiliar with its name.
