After being arrested in a hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia, Alice Guo was fetched by Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos and Philippine National Police Chief General Rommel Marbil. They brought Guo back to the Philippines on a chartered flight.

Upon arrival, Guo was taken straight to Camp Crame in Quezon City, and then turned over to the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate.
