Guo is not a common name for a Chinoy. It’s usually Lim, Tan, Ong, Eng, Lao, Go, Kho, Que, Keng. Guo gained currency after the Communists changed the transliteration of Chinese words to English in the 1980s so that Peking became Beijing, Mao Tse Tung became Mao Ze Dong, Chao, Zhao.

The Taiwanese, however, never followed suit. Neither did the Chinoys who continued to use the old spelling.

Alice Guo’s father must be a mainland Chinese, if not she herself. The fact that her mother is unknown to her calls into question her citizenship.

A natural-born Filipino citizen is anyone whose mother or father is a Filipino citizen.

If her mother is Chinese, too, she can’t be a Filipino citizen on the basis of her birth certificate alone (which was late registered and highly dubious).

The process of late registration is laughably simple, requiring only an affidavit. Most late registrations take place in a matter of days since birth and the causes are mundane (e.g., delivered during times of war or calamity, or by a midwife at home or in a remote island). The causes can be readily verified by living witnesses. But seventeen years? And your father is a rich businessman, who may have been able to obtain a business registration, gun registration, car registration, drivers license and the like. But it took you seventeen years to execute an affidavit and file with the civil registry. Something is not right.

She doesn’t know her midwife or where in the world she was born? Yeah, tell that to the Chinese Coast Guard.

These crucial details must be entered in the birth certificate. Otherwise it was almost blank or she didn’t bother to read these.

It is possible her father simply entered a random native name for her mother such as Ligaya or Maria or a place of birth and the civil registry would be none the wiser. And since she is aware that these are all bogus entries, she did not commit the same to memory. Because what she does remember – but cannot tell the world – is she was born in China to Chinese parents.

A serious investigation has to be launched to determine the exact identity and origins of this Alice Guo.

Her ability to hypnotize people into electing her even if voters do not know her from Adam is a cause for alarm.

The mayorship is a launching pad for the presidency of the Philippines.
