In recent months, millions of people in the Philippines have paid attention to the case of Alice Guo (Guo Huaping), a Chinese female mayor. What is her real name? age? Who are her parents? Where did she grow up? These topics have been a hot topic among Filipinos since the official investigation into Alice Guo, the former mayor of a town not far from the capital Manila, began in May.
However, Alice Guo, who has attracted great attention from all walks of life, mysteriously disappeared in July, and no one discovered her escape, which also aroused suspicion from many parties.
Until recently, Alice Guo was spotted in Indonesia and was arrested by local police at 11:58 pm on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, in Tangerang City, Greater Jakarta (also known as Jabodetabek), Indonesia.
Alice Guo was subsequently extradited by the Philippines from Indonesian authorities on Friday.

Previously, on August 21, Alice Guo’s sister Shiela Guo and her brother Wesley’s girlfriend Cassandra Ong were arrested in Indonesia as they were preparing to return to Singapore from Batam. The two were brought back to the Philippines on August 22.
According to Wesley, he went to Batam first on August 16, while Sheila, Alice and Wang went to Batam on August 18. This also led to their subsequent arrest.
Entry and exit information shows that Alice Guo entered Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 18, flew to Singapore on July 21, and took a ferry to Batam, Indonesia, on August 18.
It is believed that she flew from Denpasar, Indonesia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 18.
According to Alice Guo's sister Sheila, a van picked her, Alice and Wesley up from the Guo farmhouse in Tarlac, and they drove about five hours by land to a port. They first took a speedboat from here, then took a big boat, which took four days, and then took a small boat, and finally arrived in Sabah, Malaysia. However, she could not remember the specific time and date.

Sheila’s Philippine passport has a Sabah entry stamp dated July 18. However, the Philippines' PAOCC (Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission) obtained information from Malaysia that Alice Guo flew from Denpasar, Indonesia, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 18, which conflicted with her arrival in Sabah by boat on the same day.
At a press conference shortly after Alice Guo was extradited, she told reporters: "I received death threats and I asked the Indonesian authorities for help. When I saw them, I was happy and I felt safe."
Her optimism contrasts with Philippine officials, including Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who warned offenders shortly after Alice Guo was arrested abroad that "the arm of the law is long and it will Reaching you”.
Upon arriving in Manila, Alice Guo was immediately charged by immigration authorities with “undesirable and false representation” for allegedly obtaining Philippine citizenship through fraud.
Alice Guo also faces a series of money laundering charges and may be charged with illegal gambling and human trafficking in the future (these charges all occurred in Bamban, a town in Tarlac province about 60 miles north of Manila, where she served as mayor before absconding. two years.)
However Alice Guo's legal team described her arrest as a "welcome development" as after this period of preparation she will now be able to "answer the charges and questions" raised against her.
"We are confident that Alice L. Guo will demonstrate her courage and resilience in the face of adversity," the law firm of David Buenaventura and Ang said in a statement to CNN on Thursday.
