she's a billionaire and the Philippines is a 3rd world shithole. It only took 200m pesos or around 3 million usd to bribe her way out of the country. That's probably not even 1% of her wealth or the people sponsoring her(pogo operators).
She is making a mockery of Philippine judicial system. Can't get rid of the mentality if your rich and famous no matter what status in the society they will adore you😳
Bail is a constitutional right under PHL Law, unless in certain cases where bail is not allowed. A fugitive enjoys the presumption of innocence under PHL Law...and is entitled to bail while the judicial proceeding are being conducted and since no court decision has been rendered determining her guilt for which posted bail, if one was made, will be cancelled accordingly. She effectively waived her constitutional right to bail inorder to avoid the China MSS operating in PHL soil.
Sabi ng Indonesian authorithies ready naman silan ibigay si Guo sa pinas, nagulat sila ng dumating si Abalos. Sabi ni Abalos pumunta sya doon para ma negotiate ang Indo authorithies.
wala naman ako nakikitang kakaiba.. ano ba nakita mong kakaiba sa pananalita ni abalos? baka hindi ko lang napansin... at ano yung question na kung may dapat bang itago o protektahan? obviously may intel na sila galing kay alice guo, yun kailangan nila wag sabihin publicly pero dapat nila huliin yung mga involve swiftly..

Smart move If she gets out of prison she needs to pay for security which would not guarantee her safety since her bosses im the chinese mafia would like to get rid of her permanently. While in prison as a high profile inmate she would get a cell all for her with police watching over her. If she pays enough the Police she might get her own AC unit, a tv and food from the outside maybe even a wifi

she must be feeling desperate and hopeless. i don't think even the chinese government will come to her rescue. a spy that has no more usage left always gets abandoned in the end
will she disclose anything? no way. she will say nothing. she'll just play dumb from now on had she any intentions to disclose anything, she wouldn't have fled to indonesia to begin with
Soon, news will come out she dies inside, and police will say it's a heart attack. If she's well protected like this, it means someone is behind helping her.
Reluctance to leave the Philippines? How weired is that. She seems to be happy in Maylasia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Death threat? She was all smiling in the Senate inquiry. She either does not want to answer many questions by invoking her right to self discrimination as well as "hindi ko maalaala." She also makes up a story of how she slipped out of the country by sea but did not expose the details of the boat, persons, and other information about the trip. I think she is so smart and well trained to face the interrogation. It is sad that the senators have been fooled not only once but again and again.

The Philippine-American War pitted one time allies in the overthrow of Spain against each other. Spain negotiated a separate peace with the United States in the Treaty of Paris, ceding colonial rule of the Philippine Islands to the Americans rather than granting the Filipinos independence. The American government accepted this new imperial role, and set about subduing any Filipinos who resisted. In this scene, the city of Iloilo is captured from Filipino forces by Americans led by Brigadier General Marcus Miller, with no loss of American lives. (Diorama in the Ayala Museum, Makati, Philippines, 2018.) Waging the American War How did the Americans justify their takeover of the Philippines? Are you convinced by this argument? In your opinion, did American conduct during the war match these justifications? Why or why not? How did the American military attempt to counter rumors of their brutality? Annexation of the Philippines as a colony of the United States was often justified by those in the U.S. government and media on moral and racial grounds. The U.S. was simply doing its duty as an advanced, Western nation, spreading civilization, democracy, and capitalism to primitive Asians who enjoyed none of these things and were too simple to be trusted with self-government. Historian Stuart Creighton Miller writes that in this view, “Americans altruistically went to war with Spain to liberate Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and Filipinos from their tyrannical yoke. If they lingered on too long in the Philippines, it was to protect the Filipinos from European predators waiting in the wings for an American withdrawal and to tutor them in American-style democracy.” Implicit in this attitude were notions of racial superiority and the inherent superiority of white America over primitive people of color. The ugly reality of Americans colonial mission was laid bare by Dean Worcester, an American colonial official, who wrote in his memoirs that the Filipinos were “treacherous, arrogant, stupid and vindictive, impervious to gratitude, incapable of recognizing obligations. Centuries of barbarism have made them cunning and dishonest. We cannot safely treat them as equals, for the simple and sufficient reason that they could not understand it. They do not know the meaning of justice and good faith. They do not know the difference between liberty and license…. These Filipinos must be taught obedience and be forced to observe, even if they cannot comprehend, the practices of civilization. On February 11, 1899-only one week after the first shots of the war were fired-American naval forces destroyed the city of Iloilo with bombardment by the USS Petrel and the USS Baltimore. The city was then captured by ground forces led by Brigadier General Marcus Miller, with no loss of American lives. Months later, after finally securing Manila from Filipino control, American forces moved northwards, engaging in combat at the brigade and battalion level in pursuit of the fleeing insurgent forces and their commanders. In response to the use of guerilla warfare tactics by Filipino forces beginning in September 1899, American military strategy shifted to a suppression footing. Tactics became focused on the control of key areas with internment and segregation of the civilian population in “zones of protection” from the guerrilla population (foreshadowing the Strategic Hamlet Program that would be utilized decades later, during the Vietnam War). Due to unsanitary conditions, many of the interned civilians died from dysentery. General Otis gained notoriety for some of his actions in the Philippines. Although multiple orders were given to Otis from Washington to avoid military conflict, he did very little to prevent the breakout of war. Otis refused to accept anything but unconditional surrender from the Philippine Army. He often made major military decisions without first consulting leadership in Washington. He acted aggressively in dealing with the Filipinos under the assumption that their resistance would collapse quickly. A member of the American colonial government offered an alternative theory on what Bell was achieving, noting in his official report that far from breaking the spirit of the Filipino people, the blanket policy of violence and destruction was: … sowing the seeds for a perpetual revolution. If these things need be done, they had best be done by native troops so that the people of the U.S.. will not be credited therewith. Otis also played a large role in suppressing information about American military tactics from the media. When letters describing American atrocities reached the American media, the War Department became involved and demanded that Otis investigate their authenticity. Each press clipping was forwarded to the original writer’s commanding officer, who would then convince or force the soldier to write a retraction of the original statements. Meanwhile, Otis claimed that Filipino insurgents tortured American prisoners in “fiendish fashion.” During the closing months of 1899, Aguinaldo attempted to counter Otis’ account by suggesting that neutral parties-foreign journalists or representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross-inspect his military operations. Otis refused, but Aguinaldo managed to smuggle four reporters-two English, one Canadian, and one Japanese-into the Philippines. The correspondents returned to Manila to report that American captives were “treated more like guests than prisoners,” were “fed the best that the country affords, and everything is done to gain their favor.” The story went on to say that American prisoners were offered commissions in the Filipino army and that three had accepted. The four reporters were expelled from the Philippines as soon as their stories were printed. U.S. Navy Lieutenant J.C. Gilmore, whose release was forced by American cavalry pursuing Aguinaldo into the mountains, insisted that he had received “considerable treatment” and that he was no more starved than were his captors. Otis responded to publication of two articles concerning this by ordering the “capture” of the two authors, and that they be “investigated,” therefore questioning their loyalty. When F.A. Blake of the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived at Aguinaldo’s request, Otis kept him confined to Manila, where Otis’ staff explained all of the violations of international humanitarian law perpetrated by Filipino soldiers. Blake managed to slip away from an escort and venture into the field. Blake never made it past American lines, but even within American lines he saw burned out villages and “horribly mutilated bodies, with stomachs slit open and occasionally decapitated.” Blake waited to return to San Francisco, where he told one reporter that “American soldiers are determined to kill every Filipino in sight.” H.L. Wells, a staunch imperialist writing in the New York Evening Post, excused the troubling American racial theories that contributed to the often callous violence that characterized the Philippine-American War “There is no question that our men do ‘shoot niggers’ somewhat in the sporting spirit, but that is because war and their environments have rubbed off the thin veneer of civilization…Undoubtedly, they do not regard the shooting of Filipinos just as they would the shooting of white troops. This is partly because they are “only niggers,” and partly because they despise them for their treacherous servility…The soldiers feel they are fighting with savages, not with soldiers.”

Under police custody it means she will stay in a nice private aircon room with shower unlike real Filipino jail under the sun and sleeping with 100 other inmates This is due corruption clearly that why she choose to stay in custody
Let me share the Philippines' complex perspective of who it likes in order by preference. This maybe the most interesting and genuine comment you will ever get. Philippines is a friendly nation, and welcome anyone, so as long they don't hurt us. First, Filipinos prefer to be around Filipinos (easiest choice). Second on our list in order of preference (our ASEAN or Asian siblings thru Austronesian ancestry) - Guam, Hawaii, JAPAN (ally), S.KOREA, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, SINGAPORE, Taiwan, & Hong Kong. Third on our list in order is - USA (ally), Australia (ally), UK, Mexico (secret ally, don't tell anyone), Canada (remove the French attitude)😀, Israel, & India. Fourth on our list - are all other countries in the world whom I have not listed and are neutral with us. The least preferred of countries in order - China (CCP violating international & Phil law), Malaysia (defends China), Italy (dislikes Filipinos, but we love Prada handbags), Germany, France (but we love the Eiffel Tower & LV handbags). We are neutral position with Russia & Ukraine. Let family feud stay within the family. Do not meddle. We do not hate Spain, Portugal, America, nor Japan anymore. We forgave them already. Our black sheep brother Malaysia (an Austronesian) and China (CCP ruled) is our least favorite. They are mean to Filipinos and bash/trash our country. The next list are Asian and Austronesian folks whom we don't know much about but are peaceful to Phil - Myanmar, Laos, Brunei, East Timor, Micronesia, Melanesia, Vanuatu, Palau, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, & Madagascar.

I don't like what Sec. Abalos of DILG said. Imagine giving a criminal, a Chinese spy like Alice Guo a special, privileged treatment!!!. It's like a hopeless government, Abalos pleading A Guo and promising her full security, that she would be taken care of if she cooperates!!! Why not have an iron hand!! Don't plead. Don't treat her like a superstar!! My goodness!! What a weakling!!! Abalos watch the video where you and a cop have photos with Guo...smiling sweetly like you are with a famous celebrity.😂🤣
She is not ...and never be.. for being fake birth certificate holder... illegal immigrants...she should be punished under the Philippine...❤
Under police custody it means she will stay in a nice private aircon room with shower unlike real Filipino jail under the sun and sleeping with 100 other inmates
This is due corruption clearly that why she choose to stay in custody
Another ploy of lawyers of Alice will fail
Si Brad Pitt ba ang secretary ng DILG?
Meaning the police is to serve and protect.
Free Philippines.
She is a Chinese spy talaga
All drama of any country who wants to act
It’s a joke !
Let me share the Philippines' complex perspective of who it likes in order by preference. This maybe the most interesting and genuine comment you will ever get. Philippines is a friendly nation, and welcome anyone, so as long they don't hurt us.
First, Filipinos prefer to be around Filipinos (easiest choice).
Second on our list in order of preference (our ASEAN or Asian siblings thru Austronesian ancestry) - Guam, Hawaii, JAPAN (ally), S.KOREA, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, SINGAPORE, Taiwan, & Hong Kong.
Third on our list in order is - USA (ally), Australia (ally), UK, Mexico (secret ally, don't tell anyone), Canada (remove the French attitude)😀, Israel, & India.
Fourth on our list - are all other countries in the world whom I have not listed and are neutral with us.
The least preferred of countries in order - China (CCP violating international & Phil law), Malaysia (defends China), Italy (dislikes Filipinos, but we love Prada handbags), Germany, France (but we love the Eiffel Tower & LV handbags).
We are neutral position with Russia & Ukraine. Let family feud stay within the family. Do not meddle.
We do not hate Spain, Portugal, America, nor Japan anymore. We forgave them already.
Our black sheep brother Malaysia (an Austronesian) and China (CCP ruled) is our least favorite. They are mean to Filipinos and bash/trash our country.
The next list are Asian and Austronesian folks whom we don't know much about but are peaceful to Phil - Myanmar, Laos, Brunei, East Timor, Micronesia, Melanesia, Vanuatu, Palau, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, & Madagascar.
She may be safe there in jail...... than deported
Karma at its finest 👌
The police will take more selfies with her ! Disgusting
Kaya maganda,sa Vietnam umaasebso cla kc maganda ang pamamlakad nila mga bilihin lahat mura walng kasing corrupt sa Vietnam

Dapat lang para makita ng mga chinese na di lang sila ang nagoaparusa sa mga filipino na kaya din natin magparusa sa kanila
Drama all the way to freedom.

Alam mo naman ang mga ganyan galawan ng mga opesyal TIBA TIBa rin.
Yes you are really safe. 😂😂😂

Kung mamatay edi 1 less criminal. Not a loss. Naaawa ka sa bumastos sa bansa mo?
hahaha nakapag photo shoot pa omg nakakatuwa ang PNP.
Sikat talaga kayo nakakahiya ang kasong ito di bale nalang kong mahirap ako kumain nang tuyo at asin basta mahimbing lang ang pagka tulog ko sa sahig na matigas hehehe. Maraming pera yumaman nang husto pero illegal lang pala harapin ninyo ang malaking kasalanan at babayaran ninyo sa kulungan habang kayoy nabubuhay pa! Karma
