Anne Salamanca, 20, was arrested in Hawaii in July for alleged quarantine violations.

According to Daily Mail, she was allegedly seen dancing in a store and dining at a restaurant four days after she arrived in Hawaii from Manila on July 6.

The videos were reportedly recorded at a Sephora outlet and a Korean restaurant in Honolulu.

Salamanca, a YouTuber and social media influencer from the Philippines with over 1 million followers on her Instagram account, is better known as Mika Salamanca.

She later took to YouTube with a video explaining her actions and apologising for it.

According to KITV, Salamanca had to pay $575 in court fees, serve 6 months probation in her home in Alabama, and barred from returning to Hawaii during the pandemic.

Since news of the violation broke, a Facebook post went viral with the following image showing Salamanca's alleged yearbook quote: "You'll know who I am, soon":

The Facebook post, which was posted on July 25, has over 42,000 shares:

A similar two-photo post was also made earlier in July.
It is unclear when exactly Salamanca graduated.

However, the photo was previously shared to Facebook in 2019 with the caption: "this is me without make-up, surgery and filters":

The account is likely a fanpage.
