An image has been making the rounds on the web supposedly showing a digital operator of former senator and presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. This needs context.
Several Facebook (FB) pages, groups and Twitter users published the image showing a woman watching on multiple devices the interview of Marcos with talk show host Boy Abunda aired last Jan. 25. Some publishers circulated it with a caption that either claims or insinuates the woman was a troll.
The photo, which began circulating on Jan. 26, was stripped of its original context. It was taken from the personal FB account of vlogger Almira Sullano and was published the day the Marcos interview was broadcast.
Sullano — who posts social media updates and videos about her life and, occasionally, about politics — said in the caption she was doing a “consistency check,” the same as what she did during Abunda’s interview with Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson that aired on Jan. 24.
