MANILA: Filipinos turned to social media to express their outrage after Philippine government officials and law enforcement agents meant to escort fugitive ex-mayor Alice Guo back to the country to face criminal charges casually posed for photos with her while processing her deportation.

Critics said it was a mockery of the Filipino people and a cause for embarrassment, when Guo had evaded the Philippine law enforcement agencies by fleeing to Malaysia, Singapore, and then Indonesia in mid-July despite ongoing investigations against her.
