Ex-Philippine mayor Alice Guo gets life term for human trafficking linked to scam hub
The verdict comes at a time when Asean leaders have expressed alarm over rising cybercrimes perpetrated by transnational gangs.
A Philippine court has found a former mayor guilty of qualified human trafficking and sentenced her to life imprisonment over her role in setting up a scam centre that victimised foreigners. A regional trial court issued the verdict on November 20, 2025, against ex-Bamban town chief Alice Guo, according to the Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Commission. There was no immediate reaction from Guo and her lawyers.
