President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday brushed off accusations of impropriety against government officials for having a photo with dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo and claims of alleged special treatment by the government.

Taking photographs and posting them on social media is part of the new culture, Marcos Jr. said in a media interview in Rizal.

He added that it’s just a selfie and he doesn’t think there’s much more to it.

“Ang tawag natin sa Pilipinas, we are the selfie capital of the world ‘di ba? O, ‘di nag-selfie. Hindi mo na mapigilan ang tao na ngumiti. So, they just had a selfie. I don’t think there’s much more to it than that. Nagpa-selfie sila,” according to him.

Guo, who is involved in several illegal activities related to POGO operations, was arrested on Wednesday in Tangerang City, Jakarta, Indonesia.

She was brought to Manila early Friday aboard a private plane at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City.
