THE Office of the Senate Sergeant at Arms (OSAA) on Saturday deployed four teams to serve the arrest warrant against suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo and seven others.
The teams were deployed by OSAA head, retired Philippine Army Lt. Gen. Roberto Ancan, to serve the arrest order against Alice Guo, Sheila Leal Guo, Wesley Leal Guo, Jian Zhong Guo, Seimen Guo, and her suspected mother Wen Yi Lin, as well as Dennis Cunanan and Nancy Gamo.
The OSAA was given 24 hours to serve the arrest orders and detain the eight individuals at its office until they appear and testify before the Senate committee investigating Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) or purge themselves of contempt.
Senator Risa Hontiveros, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, said the eight were also ordered to appear before her committee on July 29.
The subpoenas were signed by Hontiveros and approved by Senate President Francis Escudero.(PNA)
