The court set a bail of P180,000 for Guo, but she has not posted bail so far and has been under the PNP’s custody in Camp Crame since September 6.

Guo left the country on July 18 despite an ongoing probe into her probable role in the operations of illegal Philippine offshore gaming operations (Pogos). Indonesian authorities arrested her in Jakarta on September 4.
