In a dramatic U-turn, dismissed Philippine mayor Alice Guo has announced she will not seek re-election, choosing to focus on fighting her criminal charges and espionage accusations linking her to Chinese intelligence.
Guo’s legal counsel, Stephen David, told reporters that she would file her candidacy on Tuesday, the last day of the week-long candidate filing period for next year’s midterm elections.
Indonesian authorities had detained the sister and another known associate of Alice Guo, the fugitive former Philippine mayor accused of being a Chinese spy, days after evidence was revealed indicating Guo had fled the country in July.
The National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) fingerprint examination found that Guo’s fingerprints were identical to those of a woman named Guo Hua Ping, her suspected real identity, who came to the country as a teen in 2003 with a Chinese passport.
