One of the legal counsels of controversial Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo said on Friday that the human trafficking case filed against her is weak.
“Look at the evidence against Mayor Alice Guo: paper, electric bill, letter of no objection, and articles of incorporation. These documents are not enough to commit the crime of human trafficking,” said Avisado, who appeared on behalf of Guo. The Supreme Court, in the case of Arroyo vs. People, defined the overt act as “some physical activity or deed, including the intention to commit a particular crime, more than a mere planning or preparation, which if carried out…without being frustrated by external obstacles…will logically and necessarily ripen into a concrete offense.”
Meanwhile, Justice Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty said that in the next preliminary investigation, the respondents are required to submit their counter-affidavits in response to the criminal complaint filed against them.
