Alice Guo Used Doppelgänger Or Lookalike – NBI

Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo allegedly used a lookalike to evade authorities, according to National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents who questioned her in Indonesia before her return to the Philippines.

NBI operatives interrogated Guo on Sept. 5 while waiting for clearance from Indonesia’s immigration authorities.

She was questioned about a notarized document, her reported use of a doppelgänger and an NBI clearance issued in her name.

Guo denied being the person in the photo, claiming it was a member of her staff, whom she jokingly referred to as a “slimmer version” of herself.

According to an NBI source, Guo may have used doppelgängers (lookalikes) as decoys to mislead operatives from the Bureau of Immigration, NBI and the Philippine National Police. This tactic reportedly helped her evade detection during ongoing investigations.

Guo was arrested in Tangerang, Indonesia, by local police on Sept. 4 and officially turned over to Philippine authorities the next day.

She also has an outstanding arrest order from the Senate for repeatedly skipping hearings related to the POGO raid.

With Guo’s arrest, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Sunday, Sept. 8, it is hopeful that the investigations and hearings being conducted by both the Senate and House of Representatives would reveal how she was able to leave the country.

In a statement, BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco hoped that Guo’s presence at the hearings would “shed light on many issues regarding her departure.”

At the BI, Guo faces deportation charges for undesirability and misrepresentation.
