A Philippine mayor faced accusations of acting as a Chinese asset amid a growing territorial dispute between the two countries. “No one knows her… That's why we are investigating this,” said Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Alice Guo, the 35-year-old mayor of Bamban, found herself in the middle of a potential scandal over her origins and allegiances. Guo claimed to have grown up on a pig farm and had raised no concerns prior to a strange discovery made in her town this month, the BBC reported. Marcos also said the Philippine authorities were investigating the matter with the Bureau of Immigration because of the “questions about her citizenship.” Watch the video to find out more.
