Several Facebook (FB) accounts and TikTok users are circulating a clip of Vice President and presidential candidate Leni Robredo at her Feb. 8 proclamation rally asking the crowd to cease chanting. The social media accounts claim people were shouting remarks in support of rival candidate, former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
This is false.
Versions of the clip that circulated online bore captions or in-video text graphics bearing the phrases “Marcos pa rin (Still Marcos)!” or “Marcos kami (We’re for Marcos)!”
But in the 15-second clip people were actually chanting the campaign slogan “Ipasok si Dick (Let Dick in)!” referring to Sen. Richard “Dick” Gordon, whom Robredo introduced as part of her senatorial slate.
She later jokingly reprimanded her supporters after their repeated chants. People could be heard laughing after Robredo said, “Awat na, huwag kayo magpasaway (Stop now, don’t be unruly).”
