After Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo claimed that she is a love child of her father and a house helper, discussions about a deleted webpage featuring a woman identified as her “mother” were revived anew. The local chief executive on Monday released a statement where she explained that she had difficulty answering questions about her background during the Senate hearings due to her past. “Alang-alang sa aking mga kababayan na nagtitiwala at nagmamahal sa akin ay buong tapang ko pong sasabihin na ako po’y isang LOVE CHILD ng mahal kong ama sa aming kasambahay,” Guo said on Monday.
“Na ako po ay iniwan ng aking biological mother bata pa ako noon. At ako’y pinalaki at itinatago sa loob ng isang farm. Pinalaking matindi ang pag-iwas sa mga bagay na magbibigay sana sa akin ng pagkakakilanlan sa labas ng aming hog raising farm,” she added.
Guo also said that she only found out her mother’s name when her birth was registered when she was a teenager. “Traumatic po sa akin ang mga tanong sa Senate hearing tungkol sa aking pagkatao, kasi ‘yan po ang mga tanong na ayaw ko na pong mabuksan, na sana ay mayroon akong mga sagot na makapagpaparamdam sa akin na ako’y isang normal din na nilalang,” she said. The mayor also claimed that she did not give clear answers about her personal background in consideration of her 70-year-old father’s feelings about the past.
“Ang pag-iwas ko rin pong magsinungaling sa aking mga sagot ay sanhi ng pagmamahal ko at pag-aalala sa.
