Under Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency, the Philippines became a fertile ground for rampant criminal activity, fueled by an alarming influx of Chinese influence.
The proliferation of illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) navigated unchecked, leading to a surge in human trafficking, money laundering, and the illegal drug trade—crimes intricately linked to Chinese syndicates.
One glaring example of this is the case of Guo Hua Ping aka ‘Alice Guo’, a known Chinese operative, who was allowed to run for mayor in Bamban, Tarlac, due to the heady embrace of Duterte’s administration with foreign interests.
During a recent Senate inquiry, Wang Fu Gui, a Chinese national and associate of the notorious She Zhijiang, revealed that Alice’s political ambitions were not merely encouraged but also financially backed by China’s intelligence unit.
This shocking disclosure confirms long-held suspicions that Alice Guo is nothing more than a pawn in China’s grand scheme, enabled by Duterte’s alliance with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
It was during Dutertes time when evidence of China’s influence permeating local politics begun.
His administration showcases a disturbing trend of allowing foreign interests to dictate terms, leaving the nation vulnerable to exploitation.
As a result of such policies, the country has become a haven for unscrupulous China-backed actors while ordinary Filipinos suffer the consequences.
The recent raid on an illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator in Bamban, Tarlac unveiled a horrific reality: hundreds of trafficked workers subjected to inhumane conditions. It was during his administration when Guo’s connections emerged from the shadows without fear of accountability.
Investigators have gathered mounting evidence against Guo. Records show that her fingerprints match those of Chinese national Guo Hua Ping, yet there are no official records of her existence until she turned 17.
When pressed, Alice absurdly clings to her fabricated narrative of growing up on a farm, but she provides no credible evidence to support such outrageous claims.
Furthermore, financial links between Guo’s company, Baofu Land Development, Inc., and various Chinese nationals raise significant alarm bells. Money laundering operations and ties to individuals like Michael Yang—a former adviser who managed to thrive under the Duterte administration—underscore the rampant corruption enabled by his governance.
His administration sets a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes national security, allowing criminals and foreign operatives to infiltrate the very fabric of Filipino governance.
