Cops helped Alice Guo escape dragnet – PAOCC

Policemen aided Alice Guo elude a Central Luzon dragnet last July 14. That enabled the fugitive to flee to Indonesia three days later.

Wanted for heinous crimes, the Bamban, Tarlac mayor had holed up in a beach resort bodyguarded by cops. She escaped by speedboat before a raid by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission.

“A high police officer visited her in the resort,” PAOCC Dir. Winston Casio told this column yesterday. He declined to identify the officer, pending his report to President Bongbong Marcos.

Senators Tuesday probed Guo’s flight to Indonesia where she’s said to still be hiding. In Congress’ custody are her elder half-sister Shiela Guo and confederate Cassandra Li Ong, both nabbed in Batam Aug. 20.

“Our operation was compromised,” Casio said. “Someone apparently had tipped her off, our informant on the ground lamented.”

The informant had sent videos and photos of Guo helicoptering to the resort. Casio assembled a raiding party that included Immigration officers and Navy special forces.

At dawn on July 14, they swooped down on the resort. The informant told them Guo had just sped off by sea.

Casio’s raiders avoided a gunfight with the rogue policemen. Facing charges, the latter have been told to explain themselves.

Guo sailed towards Batangas. They lost her trail, Casio said.

PAOCC guarded border escape routes: Luzon’s northernmost tip in Ilocos Norte, westernmost tip in Bataan and Zamboanga-Basilan-Sulu-Tawi-Tawi southern backdoor.

On July 17 Guo popped up in Denpasar, Bali, onto Kuala Lumpur in the wee hours of July 18. Then, a Singapore reunion on July 21 with father Jian Zhong Guo, mother Wen Yi Lin, brother Wesley Guo and sister Shiela.

Accomplice Ong had been waiting for Guo since June, having flown to Singapore despite Congress’ summonses.

Ong, 24, is linked to human trafficking, murder, kidnapping for ransom and torture inside an illegal POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga. Her companies have ties to Guo’s illegal POGO, cyber-scamming, abduction and torture in adjacent Bamban.

PAOCC believes Ong and Guo’s Chinese fathers are the POGOs’ silent partners. “They’re with the Fujian Gang,” said Casio, referring to vice lords in the Chinese
