The recent announcement of total ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators has no effect on suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo as she is only a lessor on the raided hub in her town, her legal counsel Stephen David said Wednesday."Wala naman siyang concern doon sa POGO. Unang una, wala naman siyang koneksyon sa POGO. Sa totoo lang. Andito ako sa Vatican, 'di ako nagsisinungaling. Wala naman siyang connection sa POGO. Lessor lang siya," David said in an interview with reporters.
David likewise shared that Guo is "sad" that the Senate will still continue the investigation, reiterating that the mayor has been traumatized by her previous attendance to the hearings."Syempre malungkot siya, traumatized siya diyan eh. 'Di ba sabi nga niya tuwing pagkatapos ng Senate hearing ang daming cyberbullying sa kanya. So ine-expect niya kung magkakaroon uli ng Senate hearing, baka triple pa ang magiging bullying sa kanya.
