THE Philippine Senate has assumed custody of Sheila Guo, the sister of former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, from the National Bureau of Investigation.
Sheila was turned over by the NBI to the Senate at 12:29 p.m., Monday, August 26, 2024.
The NBI also on Monday turned over to the House of Representatives Katherine Cassandra Li Ong, the woman tied to the raided Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) in Porac, Pampanga..
Sheila, along with Cassandra, is scheduled to appear at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, regarding the alleged illegal POGO activities.
The Senate medical team has examined Guo to ensure her physical and mental health.
The Senate security team led by Sergeant-at-Arms Lt. Gen. Roberto Ancan PA (retired) has assured the protection and safety of Sheila inside the Senate premises.
A round-the-clock security team is posted near Sheila’s accommodation.
Shiela and Cassandra were returned to the country by Indonesian authorities on Thursday (Aug. 22) after they left the Philippines, reportedly on July 17, despite an immigration lookout bulletin order.
