Description

This summer Alice Guo, the mayor of Bamban, fled the Philippines in the wake of charges of identity theft and corruption. Watching from afar, I've been shocked by details like: a fake sister, cybercrime rings hidden inside casinos, and questions about helicopters, a relationship with another mayor, and even body doubles (?!). Using clips from the Senate inquiry, national news, and Guo's original campaign vlog, I try to summarize how we got to where we are today.
