A digitally-altered photo of Vice President Leni Robredo and running mate Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan while inside a church, so it looked like a wedding cord bound them while kneeling, is fake.
The edited photo, which carried text that read “MABUHAY ANG BAGONG KASAL (Long-live the newly-weds),” shows a rope loosely placed over the two opposition figures. A noose was digitally added to make it look like Pangilinan was holding it.
This is a manipulation of a photo posted on March 11 on Inquirer.net’s Twitter and Facebook (FB) accounts. There were no ropes in the original. Inquirer.net’s caption states that the photo was taken during the political tandem’s campaign event that day at Sagay City, Negros Occidental.
