MANILA — Senator Risa Hontiveros stated on Friday that the revelation of identical fingerprints for Guo Hua Ping and Mayor Alice Guo in Comelec records is not surprising, given that the National Bureau of Investigation has already confirmed they are the same individual.

She emphasized, however, that it is disturbing how a foreigner was elected as the local chief executive of a town.

“Gayunpaman, nakakakilabot pa rin na may Chinese national na naging alkalde ng isang bayan sa Pilipinas,” she expressed.

This incident, Hontiveros explained, underscores the significant gaps in the laws and regulations of various institutional systems, from the PSA to the Comelec. She noted that the Senate hearings continue to address these deficiencies.

Hontiveros urged Guo Hua Ping to come forward voluntarily, as evading the Senate will only lead to more complications in her life.
