Mark Demayo, ABS-CBN News/File </div>(2nd UPDATE) The National Bureau of Investigation has confirmed that the fingerprints of embattled Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo and Guo Hua Ping match, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said Thursday. The senator said in a statement that the prints serve as the strongest evidence against the local official, who has been suspected of faking her identity. &quot;Indeed, the NBI has confirmed that the fingerprints of Mayor Alice Guo and Guo Hua Ping match. Ibig sabihin, they are the fingerprints of one and the same person,&quot; said Hontiveros.  The dactyloscopy report issued by the NBI on  Thursday was based on Guo Hua Ping&#x27;s specimen affixed on the alien fingerprint card retrieved from the NBI masterfiles and the fingerprints of Alice Guo on the biometric printout from the NBI Information and Communication Technology Division.  &quot;After a thorough examination and analysis, fingerprints of GUO, HUA Ping y LIN and fingerprints of GUO, ALICE y LEAL were found IDENTICAL,&quot; according to the report written by Alfredo Kahanding, chief of the bureau&#x27;s Dactyloscopy Division.<div> </div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="NBI Report" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2024/news/06/27/nbi-guo.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></figure></div>Hontiveros said this is a confirmation of her suspicion.&quot;This confirms what I have suspected all along. Pekeng Pilipino si &#x27;Mayor Alice&#x27; — or should I say, Guo Hua Ping. She is a Chinese national masquerading as Filipino citizen to facilitate crimes being committed by POGO,&quot; she said.&quot;Ito na ang pinakamabigat na ebidensya para palayasin na sa pwesto si &#x27;Mayor Alice.&#x27;&quot;Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian earlier furnished documents that indicated that Guo might have came into the Philippines as a teen while using a passport that bared the name &quot;Guo Hua Ping.&quot;The passport indicated that her nationality as Chinese. “The matching fingerprints as confirmed by the National Bureau of Investigation affirms what we have suspected for so long that Alice Guo is Guo Hua Ping and in fact a Chinese citizen,” Gatchalian said in a statement.“The matching fingerprints, the documents on the Special Investor Residence Visa granted to Lin Wen Yi as her mother, and records from the Bureau of Immigration showing their travels together provide irrefutable evidence of her deception and duplicity for vile and nefarious purposes.”Guo is being probed on her role in illegal POGO operations in Tarlac. &quot;This revelation is not the end. Guo Hua Ping, soon, we will know the full extent of your deception,&quot; said Hontiveros. &quot;Magpapatuloy ang aming imbestigasyon sa Senado. We will dig deeper and locate the systemic roots of our POGO problem.&quot;<div>STOLEN IDENTITY? </div>Hontiveros earlier said the Bamban mayor may have stolen her identity. The senator, who chairs the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, said they obtained an NBI  clearance showing a certain Alice Leal Guo who has the same birthday as the Mayor—July 12, 1986—but does not look like the suspended official. “Is this a case of stolen identity? Has Guo Hua Ping assumed the identity of a Filipino woman and then nearly a decade later, ran for public office?” Hontiveros asked. “Sino po ang babaeng ito na may pangalang Alice Leal Guo pero hindi kamukha ni Mayor? Nasaan na po siya ngayon?” she added. (Who is this woman who has the name Alice Leal Guo but does not look like the Mayor? Where is she now?) NBI Regional Director Jerry Abiera, that there are two Alice Leal Guos in their database does not mean there is a problem with their system. In order to find out the truth, Abiera suggested examining the fingerprints of the two. “Ang mas maganda ma-determine natin dahil yung fingerprint magkaiba talaga ‘yan. Para ma-determine natin whether or not ‘yung tao na yan or si Mayor ay magkaiba,” Abiera said.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/6/25/doj-immigration-told-to-be-on-lookout-for-alice-guo-13-others-1209">DOJ: Immigration told to be on lookout for Alice Guo, 13 others</a></div><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/6/26/nbi-doc-shows-there-are-two-alice-leal-guo-1652">NBI doc shows there are two Alice Leal Guo; mayor a no-show in hearing</a></div>
