NBI arrests Chinese allegedly posing as Filipina, says she is 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

Marcos: Education is the gauge of my admin's success
If there's one project that President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. wants to finish before his term ends in 2028, it will be his programs for education. In an interview with GMA Integrated News, Marcos said he is aiming that each Filipino family would have a college graduate. He stressed that the education would be the ''gauge of success of this administration.'' ''Education, 'yung aking sinabi sa SONA na ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino mayroong college graduate o mayroong nag-graduate sa TESDA, bawat pamilyang Pilipino, 'yun para sa akin. Pag nagawa natin ito, successful 'yun,'' Marcos said. (Education, just like what I said during the SONA, each family will have a college or TESD graduate.) The President is confident that this would be doable. He also believed that the country's greatest resource is its citizens. Marcos also said foreigners have a high regard for Filipinos. ''Our greatest resource is our people. Our greatest resource is the human capital of the Philippines. You don't have to look at figures, just talk to foreigners where the Philippines are in their country and what they think of Filipinos and how highly they think of Filipinos,'' Marcos said. ''That's all you need to hear and what are we doing? We should not waste that. We should not waste that,'' he added. In his last SONA, Marcos vowed aggressive actions to address the learning crisis confronting the Philippine education sector, seeking to create a lasting impact for Filipino students, teachers, and families. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News

''Sabihan ninyo kami kung saan dadaan. Kapag may babagsak, kukunin namin sa dagat. Tapos ipadala namin sa inyo,'' Marcos told the Philippine media delegation in India. BENGALURU – President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said Friday that he hopes China would give the Philippines notice when it launches rockets so that concerned authorities may monitor falling debris. Marcos also said China did not commit any violations regarding their rocket launch near Palawan. ''Sabihan ninyo kami kung saan dadaan. Kapag may babagsak, kukunin namin sa dagat. Tapos ipadala namin sa inyo,'' Marcos told the Philippine media delegation in India.

The Philippines has expressed concern about the launch of China's Long March 12 rocket that was seen over Puerto Princesa City in Palawan last Monday. Puerto Princesa residents reported hearing explosions on Monday just as a fiery object crossed the sky. The ground shook as a result of the blasts. Chinese state media said the Long March-12 rocket, which successfully brought into pre-set orbit a group of internet satellites, launched from a commercial spacecraft site Monday night in China's southern province of Hainan. –NB, GMA Integrated News

Jinggoy urges agencies to verify report Chinese ships blocked BFAR vessel
Senator Jinggoy Estrada on Friday called on government agencies to verify a report that Chinese militia vessels bloced a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ship en route to Sandy Cay in the West Philippine Sea. Estrada, chairperson of the Senate committee on national defense and security, peace, unification and reconciliation, expressed concern over the report, saying it is a "serious breach" of the country's sovereign rights if proven true. "I urge the concerned agencies to validate this information, as the incident—if verified—would constitute a serious breach of our sovereign rights and harassment of a Philippine-flagged vessel conducting a legitimate monitoring mission within our own maritime domain," he said in a statement. "Hindi natin dapat hayaan na ma-normalize ang ganitong pangliliit sa ating karapatan at ang paglalagay sa panganib ng ating mga kababayan (We should not normalize this act of belittling our rights and endangering our people)," he added. On X (formerly Twitter), maritime security expert Ray Powell said BRP Datu Romapenet reversed course while en route to Sandy Cay after it was impeded by three Chinese ships. "At 0745 local time, Philippine fisheries ship BRP Datu Romapenet left Pag-Asa (Thitu) Island in the direction of Sandy Cay," he said. "It was impeded by at least 3 of China's maritime militia ships. At 9:00, it reversed course and returned to Pag-Asa. No further details yet available," he added. Estrada said the Department of Foreign Affairs should lodge a diplomatic protest and assert the country's rights once the incident is verified. "Our kababayans deserve nothing less than a government that firmly stands its ground in asserting our sovereignty and defending our nation's interest," he added. GMA News Online reached out to BFAR, Philippine Coast Guard, and Philippine Navy for comment on the matter and will publish it once available. China claims almost the entire South China Sea, a conduit for more than $3 trillion of annual ship-borne commerce, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. In July 2016, the UN Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, based on a case filed by Manila, junked China's nine-dash line claim covering the entire SCS. Beijing has refused to acknowledge the ruling. —Sundy Locus/AOL, GMA Integrated News
