Senator Risa Hontiveros said on Thursday that dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo should not be treated like a celebrity after some government workers had photos with her. (A reminder to all government officers: Alice Guo is a fugitive. She is charged for human trafficking. She’s not a celebrity.)

In a photo shared by Senator Joel Villanueva earlier, a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) officer was taking a selfie with Guo and Abalos during the turnover. Meanwhile, in the viral group photo, Guo was seen smiling while in the company of some NBI and Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents while she was being escorted to Indonesian immigration before her return to Manila on early Friday.

The officials were criticized and the photo became a target of jokes online, as some netizens were quick to call out that the former public official is the subject of various charges. Villanueva earlier called out these government agents for their “unprofessional” actions.
