Former Philippine official Alice Guo’s bail petition for her qualified human trafficking case has been denied, according to Prosecutor General Richard Fadullon on Friday.
“The evidence presented by the prosecution was found to be strong,” Fadullon stated.
Guo’s lawyer, Nicole Jamilla, previously expressed her client’s concerns about spending the holiday season at the Pasig City Jail Female Dormitory, located in Metro Manila.
“She’s worried because she’s been detained since September. That’s three months, and now it’s almost Christmas. The thought of possibly remaining in detention over the holidays adds to her anxiety and stress,” Jamilla said last week.
Guo is facing multiple charges in various courts due to her alleged involvement in the illegal operations of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
Despite the accusations, Guo has denied being a mastermind behind any POGO-related activities.
