Court: Alice Guo is Guo Hua Ping, mayoral term voided

𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗶𝗰

Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 34 has declared Alice Guo's mayoral term void, identifying her as the Chinese national Guo Hua Ping.

Under Liwliwa Bidalgo-Bucu, presiding judge, the judge identifies Alice Leal Guo and Chinese national Guo Hua Ping—the same person.

The court found identical fingerprints on Guo Hua Ping's and Alice Leal Guo's right middle and index fingers.

It also rejected Guo's argument that the Ombudsman's prior dismissal rendered the case moot.

Meanwhile, the court also dismissed a petition by the second-place candidate to assume the mayoral position.
