The curious case of Mayor Alice Guo

FROM comfortable obscurity, Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo has been unexpectedly and suddenly thrown into the limelight owing to the reckless and piercing scrutiny of a woman senator hungry for publicity. Notoriously known for using a Senate committee she chairs to undress naked the private lives of persons before the public she fancies to toy with — she is unrelenting in her persecution of those who are subjected to her committee's legislative inquiry.

Under the guise of conducting an investigation in aid of legislation, this lawmaker continues to violate constitutional rights and besmirch the reputation of people, adjudging them guilty of crimes without going through the rigorous demands and exacting process of a trial by a court of law.
