Senators question 'love child' explanation

SENATORS on Wednesday expressed exasperation over the repetitive answers provided by Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, whose identity has come under question because she could not provide basic details about her childhood.

As the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality resumed its inquiry into Guo's identity and her possible links to illegal online gambling operations in her town, Sen. Raffy Tulfo asked the mayor if she was willing to take a lie detector test to address her conflicting statements.
