Robredo says photo of her wading in knee-deep water ‘fake news’
Vice President Leni Robredo clarified that an old photo circulating on Twitter, showing her with security aides, was taken two years ago and not during the recent Typhoon Ulysses.
She explained that the photo was taken during a visit to Agutaya, Northern Palawan, where she and her team had to walk from their boat to the shore because their vessel could not get any closer.
Robredo urged the public to report the misleading Twitter post that used the old photo to accuse her of having an excessive number of security personnel.
Typhoon Ulysses has caused widespread flooding and displaced hundreds of thousands of people in Metro Manila and Rizal province.
On Thursday night, Vice President Robredo personally delivered relief goods to typhoon victims in Rizal and Marikina City.
