Marcos dismisses furor over Alice Guo selfies  President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sees nothing wrong with government personnel taking selfies with dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo, saying it's 'part of the new culture' and there’s nothing much more to it than that. In an interview with reporters on Sept. 6, 2024, the President also said he wanted Guo to 'lay out, exactly,' how POGOs became a 'criminal enterprise,' adding that it's impossible to believe that Guo, a mayor, did not know what was going on in her town.

00:00Q. Mr. President, on the arrest of Mayor Alice Goh, nababatikos po yung ating mga government officials for having a photo with Mayor Goh for impropriety and also parang may special treatment na ginagawa ang government. What's your take on this?

00:18A. Well, I think that is part of the new culture now, nakapakuwalagan ng kahit ano. Kasi po-post nila, tignan mo, nakasama ako dito sa team na nag-arresto sa ganyan-ganyan.

00:48Hindi mo naman pigilan ng tao na mumiti. So they just had a selfie. I don't think there's much more to it than that. Magpa-selfie sila.

01:18So such a large, it's basically a criminal enterprise. And as mayor, for her to say she did not know this was going on, it's very difficult to believe.

01:48Kaya sana may paliwanan niya kung bakit hindi niya alam. Paano bilang isang mayor na hindi niya malaman kung anong nangyayari sa bayan niya ng ganyang kalaki na problema?
