Ah, the Alice Guo spectacle! Photos of her arrest featuring no less than DILG Secretary Ben Abalos, PNP Chief Rommel Marbil and a slew of NBI agents. Big deal, right? Well, it turns out it’s not that scandalous when you consider the alleged images of Guo with former President Rodrigo Duterte floating around.

And why stop there? If politicians are cozy with the ex-Mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, who’s really surprised? After all, what’s a government official’s career without the mandatory photo ops, whether it’s with high-profile suspects or while distributing relief goods alongside oversized banners proclaiming their names?

But wait, the pièce de résistance comes courtesy of Senator Bong Go, who charmed netizens with a video of him in a church, sharing “intimate moments” with the Lord—surrounded, of course, by his trusty photographers.

If nothing else, this whole drama reaffirms why we’re the “selfie capital of the world.”
