NBI arrests Chinese allegedly posing as Filipina, says she is another 'Alice Guo'
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Tuesday announced the arrest of a Chinese who was allegedly misrepresenting herself as a Filipina upon her arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), dubbing her as another 'Alice Guo.' According to the NBI, the woman arrived from Guangdong, China on July 13. The operation stemmed from an intelligence report of a Chinese national who was allegedly using a Filipino name for her business transactions. Using her Filipino name, the NBI said she was able to secure a Philippine passport and was also able to establish several companies. However, verification with the Bureau of Investment showed that she only had a Special Investor's Resident Visa. The NBI also conducted examinations on the fingerprints of their NBI clearance forms, which showed that the fingerprints were identical. Due to this, the Bureau of Immigration has filed a complaint against the woman for violation of the Immigration law, specifically misrepresentation as a Filipino. She is also facing a complaint for violating the Limitations and Conditions of Stay as well as Undesirability. Aside from this, the NBI filed a case against her for violation of the Philippine Passport Act of 1996 with the Prosecutor's Office of Taguig City. 'Director Santiago assures that the NBI will delve deeper into what may be another 'Alice Guo' story,' the NBI said in a statement. Dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo's identity came into question after the raid on the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub located in her former municipality as well as Senate inquiries into POGOs. The NBI later said that Alice Guo and Chinese passport holder Guo Hua Ping have the same fingerprints. Among her cases, Guo is facing a quo warranto petition with a Manila court, as well as a petition to cancel her birth certificate with a Tarlac court. —KG, GMA Integrated News

Road rage suspect claiming to be NBI personnel nabbed
The National Bureau of Investigation-Technical Intelligence Division (NBI-TID) has arrested a suspect in a road rage incident who pretended to be part of the NBI. In a statement on Monday, the NBI said a motorcycle driver complained to Senator Raffy Tulfo's television program about the driver of an SUV that rammed him. The complainant said that the suspect claimed that he is an NBI member, displayed a badge, and even threatened him. Upon verification of NBI records, it was found out that the suspect is not connected to NBI either as an employee, job order worker, or consultant. The suspect also has a standing warrant of arrest for syndicated estafa with no bail recommended. The suspect was arrested in an operation on July 24. Seized from him were several identification cards, a fake NBI ID, and an NBI wallet badge. The suspect was brought to the NBI detention facility in the Bureau of Corrections in Muntinlupa in line with his warrant. Additional charges for usurpation of authority, illegal use of insignia, and the Anti-Alias Law were filed against him. — Jiselle Anne Casucian/AOL, GMA Integrated News
