Misleading

A Facebook user reposted a video about a supposed encounter with a passenger who is a supporter of Vice President Leni Robredo and a tricycle driver who supports Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

CLAIM: A social media user reposted on her Facebook a 26-second TikTok video about a Robredo supporter who was supposedly made to get off a tricycle for arguing for her candidate.

FACTS:

What the post says

The Facebook user reposted a TikTok from the account of @bbm_sara__2022, and added a caption of: “Facts u pinkshit”

It also only added “ctto (credit to the owner)” even though the watermark of VinCentiments is at the upper left part of the video. The reposted TikTok video also bore the logo of the tandem of Marcos and Sara Duterte.

What it left out

The original video was posted by VinCentiments, who has been making videos, including one making fun of a certain “Len-Len”, that he says is “not political content.” 

The first part of the video was reposted by TikTok user @bbm_sara__2022. The Facebook user then reposted the TikTok video on her account.

The Facebook user did not explain that it was cut. It was also unclear if the video was shot to capture a real encounter.

The original post of VinCentiments has a caption: “Sino ang Tama? Sino ang Mali? Dapat bang Mamili ng Pasahero?” and a link to Pasahero Partylist. Pasahero party-list is one of the 177 groups that are seeking seats at the House of Representatives.
