Joseph Stephen Paduano made the motion after Guo was repeatedly asked about the reason she did not post bail for the graft charges she is facing.“Bakit hindi kayo nagbe-bail, bailable pala?” Nueva Ecija 4th District Representative Emerson Pascual asked.“Hinihintay po namin lumabas ang isang kaso,” Guo replied.“You are not answering the query!” Paduano observed.“May contempt pa rin daw pong iba,” Guo said.“You’re lying! Because the real reason why you did not bail out because you want to be doon detained sa PNP Custodial Center,” Paduano asserted.“Alice Guo, billions, tapos hindi makapagbail ng P180,000? You’re fooling this country. You’re fooling the Filipino people,” he added.“I move to cite Alice Guo in contempt in violation of our section 11 paragraph C,” Paduano moved.The motion was approved, after it was seconded and no one objected.Guo was ordered detained by the Quad Comm until its committee report regarding the investigation on illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators is adopted in the plenary. The question on her jurisdiction will be discussed after the hearing.Guo was also previously cited in contempt by the Senate for “testifying falsely and evasively”.Paduano said they will ask for the Valenzuela City court for authority to transfer Guo&#x27;s detention to the House.&quot;We will write the RTC branch 282 in Valenzuela city that after the said hearing, the authority to take custody, the person of Ms. Guo be transferred from the Philippine National Police to the House of Representatives,&quot; he said.
