The Department of Justice welcomed the Pasig City regional trial court’s decision to deny dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo’s petition for bail, describing it as a pivotal moment in the nation’s fight against human trafficking.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla lauded the court’s decision, emphasizing the strength of the prosecution’s evidence, which the presiding judge deemed sufficient to deny Guo’s temporary release. Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty, who heads the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking, echoed Remulla’s sentiment, calling the court’s ruling a milestone in the government’s anti-trafficking efforts.
The DOJ expressed hope that the case would set a precedent for stronger collaboration between prosecutors and law enforcement agencies in combating human trafficking in the country.
