Dismissed Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, linked to POGO, suspected to evade arrest by entering the Golden Triangle.

Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo is suspected to evade arrest by potentially entering the Golden Triangle, a known hub for transnational crime in Southeast Asia. The Philippine government is cracking down on the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) industry, which Guo is linked to, and she may seek refuge in the Golden Triangle, which has weak law enforcement and porous borders. Guo is currently staying in Batam, Indonesia, and Indonesian authorities are prepared to arrest her upon leaving the hotel.
