Savers Group Holdings Inc, (SGHI) Chairman Jaime “Jack” Uy has expressed his gratitude for being cleared in a case of mistaken identity involving his nickname-sake, Jack Uy.
The misidentification arose amid the scrutiny of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who has been accused of connections to the POGO hub during recent Senate hearings.
This clarification was sourced from an article by Lian Buan and Joann Manabat titled “Bamban, Tarlac: Shaken by a Raided Fortress and Wakened by Alice Guo” on May 30, 2024.
The article stated that Jack Lopez Uy, linked to Baofu Land Development Incorporated—a company involved in the controversial POGO hub hearings—is from Quezon City and not Angeles City’s Jaime “Jack” Uy.
A significant part of the investigation focused on a 36-structure facility in Barangay Anupul, Bamban, owned by Baofu Land Development Incorporated, which Guo co-founded in May 2019. Guo stated that she divested her shares from Baofu in 2022 to avoid conflicts of interest before running for mayor.
The company’s 2022 records show that Quezon City resident Jack Lopez Uy acquired Guo’s 50% majority shares. This report has been posted and shared on various social media platforms.
Savers Group Chairman Jack Uy is a prominent business figure in Angeles City. Hence, Uy thanked the media for accurately distinguishing him from Jack Lopez Uy. “I am thankful to the media for helping clarify my namesake,” said Uy. He also mentioned receiving numerous text messages and calls from friends concerned about the misidentification.
Uy, who established Jack’s Video in Angeles City in 1983, has since expanded his business ventures into Savers Group Holdings Inc. (SGHI) with diversified businesses.
