Raya Capulong, ABS-CBN News</div>MANILA — Dismissed Bamban mayor Alice Guo is expected to return to the Philippines on Thursday or Friday following her arrest in Tangerang City, Indonesia.<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/3/alice-guo-arrested-in-indonesia-740"></a> <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/3/alice-guo-arrested-in-indonesia-740"></a> <a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/3/alice-guo-arrested-in-indonesia-740">• Alice Guo arrested in Indonesia</a> According to National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Jaime Santiago, they are in close coordination with their Indonesian counterpart to facilitate the necessary legal procedures.“Ibibigay naman sa’tin agad. Pupwedeng bukas, makalawa, maibalik na natin dito si Alice,” Santiago said(They will give it to us right away. It could be tomorrow or the day after; we might be able to bring Alice back here.)“Ididiretso muna sa BI for immigration violations and then ite-turnover sa’min. Kami namin ipa-process and kung anong criminal charges ang maisampa namin sa kanya,” he added. (She will be brought directly to the Bureau of Immigration for immigration violations and then turned over to us. We will handle the processing of criminal charges we filed against her.) The NBI has filed several charges against Guo, including 87 counts of money laundering charges before the Department of Justice (DOJ). Santiago believes that Guo remained in hiding at a single location to evade authorities. She also cut her hair to conceal her identity. “Tingin natin nag stay sa isang lugar at hindi talaga lumalabas doon kasi kapag lumabas siya, alerted ang buong Indonesian police, including our agents are all alert,” Santiago said. (We believe she stayed in one place and didn’t really go out because if she did, the entire Indonesian police force, along with our agents, would have been on high alert.) “Meron nang lumabas, nai-share ang Indonesian police na talagang maiksi na ang buhok niya, nagpaputol ng buhok to conceal her identity,” he added. (There is information that has come out, shared by the Indonesian police, confirming that she has indeed cut her hair short to conceal her identity.) Santiago also mentioned that Guo was captured alone, without her brother Wesley Guo, who is also being sought. Guo is expected to appear before the Senate, which has been waiting for her return since it issued an arrest warrant on July 13 for her failure to attend hearings about Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) activities in her municipality.<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/4/senate-will-take-custody-of-alice-guo-upon-return-to-ph-hontiveros-1052"></a> <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/4/senate-will-take-custody-of-alice-guo-upon-return-to-ph-hontiveros-1052"></a> <a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/4/senate-will-take-custody-of-alice-guo-upon-return-to-ph-hontiveros-1052">• Senate to take custody of Alice Guo upon return to PH: Hontiveros</a> The Bureau of Immigration shared a photo grabbed from a CCTV footage that showed Guo walking inside an Indonesian airport where she was accompanied by an alleged official of the Lucky South 99, a <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">POGO hub that was raided for alleged crimes, including torture.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17254417283161725441726250.png" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">Courtesy: Bureau of Immigration  &quot;Allegedly ang nasa photo ay si Mayor Alice Guo kasunod nya ang isang naka shorts na lalaki at ibang indibidwal kasi alam natin na meron tumutulong sa kanya sa pannanatili niya sa Indonesia,” said Immigration spokesperson Dana Sandoval.
