Fugitive former mayor Alice Guo wanted to surrender but was concerned about her safety, his lawyer said.
Guo’s lawyer Atty. Stephen David in an interview with ABS-CBN on Sunday
said this was based on his last transaction with Guo on August 22, and did not disclose any further information.
“There were many threats, internal and external, we don’t have to elaborate on that, we are. bound by lawyer-client privilege but basically, she wanted to surrender,” David said.
But despite this, David is hoping that Guo will change her mind to surrender, citing Sheila Guo and Cassandra Lee Ong’s condition when it comes to their safety with Philippine authorities.
Guo was reportedly last seen roaming in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Authorities have requested a blue notice to interpol that would oblige member countries to report Guo’s presence.
David also communicated with Guo’s brother, Wesley Guo.
“He did not tell me where he was. He just asked how was Sheila and what was our strategy on the case,” he said.
The Bureau of Immigration have said they have information that Guo’s brother is in Hong Kong but its counterparts reported no sighting of the latter.
