Philippine President Orders Crackdown After Ex-Mayor's Escape

Alice Guo, accused of human trafficking and ties to Chinese syndicates, allegedly fled the country despite heavy scrutiny.

President Marcos Jr. vows accountability, ordering a full investigation into Guo's escape.
Guo's passport has been cancelled as authorities track her movements across Southeast Asia.
The ex-mayor is implicated in a March raid uncovering human trafficking and luxury assets in Bamban.
Guo denies all accusations, claiming she is a victim of malicious allegations.
The case fuels existing tensions between the Philippines and China over South China Sea disputes.
