Alice Leal Guo is a businesswoman and politician in the Philippines who served as the mayor of the municipality of Bamban, Tarlac, from June 30, 2022, until August 13, 2024. In June 2024, she was suspended for up to six months as mayor by the Ombudsman after the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) filed graft charges against her over alleged connections with Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) activities in her municipality. She was dismissed on August 13, 2024, by the Ombudsman.

In a Senate Committee inquiry, Guo was alleged by Senators Risa Hontiveros and Win Gatchalian to have links to illegal activities by POGOs following raids in Bamban in 2023 and 2024. Her Filipino citizenship has also been questioned and is now being investigated due to inconsistencies in her documents and testimony. In July 2024, Guo's assets were frozen and an arrest order was issued for her. In August 2024, it was reported that Guo had already fled the Philippines on July 17 for Malaysia, and then traveled to Singapore. As of August 18, the Philippine government believes that Guo is currently in Indonesia.
