Guo's convoy arrived at the Pasig jail at around 9:14 a.m. from the PNP's detention facility in Camp Crame where she stayed pending her transfer.
The PNP postponed her transfer last September 20 pending the necessary requirements for her medical assessment.
The facility, operated by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), contains 44 other inmates.
However, BJMP spokesperson Jail Supt. Jayrex Bustinera said that Guo will be staying in a separate detention cell after her x-ray result during her medical assessment showed that she has a possible lung infection.
Guo will be sharing the cell with three other inmates who are recovering from tuberculosis (TB).
The dismissed mayor's transfer was ordered by the Pasig City Regional Trial Court (RTC)-Branch 167 that is handling her qualified human trafficking case.
Guo and her co-accused were charged in connection with the alleged criminal activities committed by Zun Yuan Technology Center, a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) that was raided in Bamban, Tarlac.
