IN an attempt to explain gaps in her personal history, embattled Bamban Mayor Alice Guo said on May 20 that she was the 'love child' of her father and a domestic helper who left them when she was still young.'I was kept in a hog-raising farm where I grew up and was deprived of learning things outside,' she said in Filipino in a statement emailed to The Manila Times.
In fact, I was already a teenager when I learned about my mother when my birth certificate was late-registered,' the Bamban mayor said.Guo admitted that she was traumatized when the senators grilled her about her personal life, a thing that she wanted to keep to herself.She added that her failure to respond to some queries posed by the senators was due to her reluctance to drag her 70-year-old father into the controversy.
