Ex-mayor's lawyers may be liable – DoJ

THE Department of Justice (DoJ) is assessing the liability of the legal counsels of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo after it was discovered that they submitted fake documents in relation to the complaints that their client is facing.

Justice Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty said the submission of fake documents by Guo's lawyers in the DoJ proceedings was a 'serious concern.'
