Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Leal Guo (real name: Guo Hua Ping) (Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau)
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) may disqualify dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo (real name: Guo Hua Ping) from the 2025 elections for misrepresentation unless restrained by a court, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said on Sunday.
Guevarra made the pronouncement after Guo’s legal counsel Stephen David confirmed that she would seek reelection.

“Guo may file her certificate of candidacy (COC), but the Comelec may disqualify her for misrepresentation and not include her name in the ballot for the May 2025 elections, unless the Comelec is restrained by the court,” Guevarra told reporters.
He also said Guo may even face “perjury charges” should it be proven that she lied under oath while filing her COC.
