TO make things a lot easier, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) came up with an idea that would make an informant P50,000 richer by offering monetary reward just for the information as to where the real Alice Leal Guo could be found.

To start off, the NBI particularly zoomed in on Quezon City where the supposed owner of the stolen identity is reportedly based.

In a statement, the government’s top investigation agency clarified that the search is not a manhunt but an earnest effort to seek clarification as part of the case build up against Chinese national Guo Hua Ping who used the real Alice Leal Guo’s identity to legitimize business and political activities in the Philippines.

According to the NBI, the agency is duty-bound to check the veracity of the recent revelations in the Senate, which has been probing the controversial Bamban mayor who is being dragged into the scam farms concealed behind offshore gaming hubs.

As per NBI records, two women with the name Alice Leal Guo – one from Bamban, Tarlac and the other from Quezon City had exactly the same details when they applied for an NBI clearance.

While suspended Bamban, Tarlac’s Alice Guo has faced Senate committee hearings, the other Alice Leal Guo from Quezon City has yet to surface.

“Concealing true name… Bakit mo ginawa ‘yun? Sinong may utos sa ‘yo?” NBI director Jaime Santiago said when asked what the bureau sought from the less prominent Alice Leal Guo.

Santiago theorized that someone may have instructed the woman to get an NBI clearance using the name Alice Leal Guo with a birthdate on July 12, 1986, and birthplace in Tarlac.

“For whatever purpose,” Santiago said.

There is still no known link between the two Alice Leal Guos but Sen. Risa Hontiveros has surmised that the Bamban mayor may have taken the identity of the Alice Leal Guo from Quezon City.

The NBI has found that the Bamban local official and a Chinese passport holder, Guo Hua Ping, have the same fingerprints, indicating that they were one person.

Guo has repeatedly said that she was a Filipino amid questions regarding her identity.

Guo’s citizenship and identity came under scrutiny after government agents raided a Philippine offshore gaming operation hub in Bamban for alleged criminal activity. (ANGEL F. JOSE)
