This particular photo drew negative reception in the Philippines due to Guo and the officials cheerful behavior when taken to context the actual circumstances behind the photo.

Critics, including lawmakers and social media users, condemned the warm reception to Alice Guo had received from Philippine officials in Indonesia, after her arrest, which included them posing cheerfully in photographs with her, a practice deemed more suitable for celebrity encounters than law enforcement. [5] A photo of Interior secretary Benhur Abalos and Marbil documenting a private meeting with Guo was particularly given focus by critics for its bad optics. [6]
