Bloomberg | A small town in the Philippines elected its first female mayor in 2022. Alice Guo brought prosperity and new business to the Bamban area.

Bloomberg reports on what happened when a police raid in 2024 revealed Guo's alleged connections to scam compounds, money laundering, and espionage. She had lied about being from the Philippines. She was a Chinese national who entered the country at age 13.
