A quote card showing a fictional Saudi princess allegedly praising presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was shared on Facebook. This is fake. The lady in the photo is not a Saudi princess but a former porn actress.

The featured quote of a certain “Ameera Nasir Khalifa” read: “I, the Princess of Saudi, would like to express my support to Bongbong Marcos because he is a visionary leader. I hope someday I will met [sic] him. His bashers are the worst citizens in his country.”
