EIGHT co-accused of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo have been transferred from the Tarlac Provincial Jail to the Pasig City Jail, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) announced on Friday.
BJMP spokesperson Jail Superintendent Jayrex Bustinera confirmed that the following persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) were received at the Pasig City Jail Male Dormitory on Thursday:
Walter Wong Long
Shicong Zhang (also known as “Olaf”)
Huang Yue Hai
Ma The Pong
Wang Weili
Wuli Dong (also known as “Yousuf”)
Nong Ding Chang (also known as “Todd”)
Lang Xu Po (also known as “Ah Xun”)
Bustinera stated that the transfer was conducted following standard BJMP protocols for the commitment of PDLs.
“All PDLs have charges of Qualified Trafficking under Pasig RTC 166. Walter Wong Long also has another case with Pasig RTC 167 with the other co-accused of Alice Guo,” Bustinera added.
On September 23, Guo herself was transferred to the Pasig City Jail Female Dormitory from the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City. Guo is facing charges for graft, qualified human trafficking, money laundering, tax evasion, falsification, obstruction of justice, and perjury.
The arrests of these individuals stemmed from an investigation into alleged illegal activities of certain Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) firms.
