Critics, including lawmakers and social media users, condemned the warm reception toAlice 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 secretaryBenhur Abalos and Marbil documenting a private meeting with Guo was particularly given focus by critics for its bad optics.[6]
In February 26, 2025, Marbil's escorted convoy passed through theEDSA Busway, but flagged down by the traffic enforcers.[7] The policemen to the enforcers stated that they are "in an emergency meeting",[8] and pleased the enforcers to just issue them atraffic ticket. Days later, Marbil either did not deny or confirm he is in the convoy.[9] Claire Castro, the Palace Press Officer stated that there are exemptions in entry of the busway, but doesn't include emergency meetings.[10]
