(UPDATES) DISMISSED Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo arrived back in Manila early Friday after Indonesian authorities in Jakarta turned her over to the custody of Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos Jr. and Philippine National Police chief Gen. Rommel Marbil.
Guo arrived at the Royal Star Hangar in Pasay City in a flight that was initially scheduled to take off from Jakarta at 1:15 p.m. and land in Manila at 6:15 p.m. but was delayed due to 'procedural matters.'
