"There is consensus that indeed she (Alice Guo) is an agent of influence."
The Philippines currently does not have any legislation that defines what an "agent of influence" is, according to NICA Deputy Director General Francisco Acedillo. However, he said there is a consensus that Alice Guo or Guo Hua Ping is an agent of influence, based on the information revealed within committee hearings from both the Senate and House of Representatives and within discussions of the intelligence community.
According to Deputy Director General Acedillo during the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality hearing on Tuesday, "there are several ways to define an agent of influence. What is applicable on the part of Guo Hua Ping is that she uses her influence, her stature, or her position, to influence public opinion or decision-making to produce results beneficial to the country whose services they benefit from."
