THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed multiple criminal charges against suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and several family members, including dozens of counts of falsification of public documents and violations of the Anti-Dummy Law.
The charges stem from an NBI-Bulacan investigation into the family’s business registrations and land purchases, particularly in Marilao, Bulacan.
The NBI-Bulacan South District Office (NBI BUSDO) filed two separate criminal complaints against Guo Hua Ping, also known as Alice Leal Guo, and her family members following weeks of scrutiny after her alleged ties to offshore gaming operations were uncovered during a Senate inquiry that also raised questions about her nationality. The complaints list a total of 70 criminal counts against Alice Guo and three co-accused: Mier Zhang (a.k.a. Shiela Leal Guo), Siemen Guo, and Lin Wen Yi.
The charges include 30 counts of Falsification of Public Documents for allegedly falsifying the Articles of Incorporation, Secretary’s Certificate, and 2021 General Information Sheet (GIS) of several corporations, and 30 counts of Simulation of Minimum Capital Stock, which penalizes the circumvention of laws reserving certain economic activities for Filipinos. Additionally, Guo Hua Ping faces six further counts of Falsification of Public Documents related to the falsification of a Deed of Sale and Documentary Stamp regarding a 4,636 square meter real property purchase in Marilao, Bulacan, dated October 5, 2010.
The NBI investigation found that the accused were incorporators of multiple companies sharing a principal address in Marilao, Bulacan, including QJJ Group of Companies Inc., QSeed Genetics Inc., and others. The NBI alleges that Alice Guo, Shiela Leal Guo (also known as Mier Zhang), and Siemen Guo declared themselves as Filipino citizens in the Articles of Incorporation to hold the majority of shares in these companies, which the NBI says violates the Anti-Dummy Law.
