(UPDATES) A FORMER Philippine National Police (PNP) chief was reportedly on the payroll of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo, an official of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) told the Senate Tuesday.

Testifying at the Senate inquiry on illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) in Tarlac, Raul Villanueva, senior vice president of Pagcor's security and monitoring cluster, said 'rumors in the intelligence community' said a former PNP chief had helped Guo flee the country in July.
