David disclosed that while they did not discuss specifics, Guo has been facing multiple threats to her internal and external security, not just from the government but also from other adversaries.

Despite these concerns, David remains hopeful that Guo will surrender, especially as her sister, Shiela Guo, who was arrested on August 21 alongside Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) representative Cassandra Li Ong, has also been provided with security.

Meanwhile, Atty. David also communicated with Wesley Guo on August 31.

While Wesley did not disclose his whereabouts, he inquired about Shiela’s condition and the progress of the case.
