MANILA: Alice Guo has been replaced by a councillor as mayor of Bamban town in Tarlac, following her expulsion for alleged links to the Philippine offshore gaming operator (Pogo).
Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr said in an ambush interview on Wednesday (Aug 14)that Erano Timbang will take the post of Guo temporarily, and explained that Bamban Vice Mayor Leonardo Anunciacion, the next in line of succession, was suspended by the Office of the Ombudsman for three months.
