MANILA, Philippines — Former Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and 35 alleged cohorts are facing another wave of corruption charges as the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) moved Thursday to file fresh complaints before the Office of the Ombudsman.
NBI Director Jaime Santiago said the new cases target not only Guo but also several former and sitting Bamban officials accused of enabling the questionable conversion of land now used by a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO)., This news data comes from:http://gvg.gyglfs.com
