A VERA Files investigation uncovered a network of 45 TikTok accounts that exhibited signs of a coordinated campaign from May to December 2024 to boost Guo’s reputation as a progressive leader and defend her innocence, amid the probe on her alleged links to illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) during this period.
