Alice Leal Guo is a name that suddenly emerged in public discourse in a manner that lightning flashes on the sky during a hot summer day. Guo is the businesswoman who was elected in 2022 as municipal mayor of the town of Bamban in Tarlac province.
Following a number of raids conducted by government forces
in the town, a Philippine Senate Committee investigation linked
Guo to illegal activities by Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
In the probe, Guo's Filipino citizenship has been put in
the spotlight and is now being scrutinized due to inconsistencies in her testimony
and documents.
When it comes to popular culture, the ensuing controversy jogged the collective memory of many Filipinos.
For this post, emphasis will be given to two movies and two television programs from the last five decades promptly. One of those programs focus on a song.
