Several Facebook (FB) users published a wedding photo of a young couple, falsely claiming it shows presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo and her first husband.
The untrue posts described the groom as a “rebel,” “an active supporter of the leftist group during Marcos time,” while several said he was a member of the New People’s Army (NPA) who disappeared in Cebu City. The posts that made the latter claim also erroneously stated that Robredo married the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo to avenge the death of her first spouse.
The bride in the circulating photo is not Leni Robredo. Through a reverse image search, VERA Files Fact Check found that the original wedding photo was posted by FB user Jennet Canlas on June 16, 2021 to celebrate her 30th wedding anniversary.
According to Canlas’ FB profile, she is married to a man named Daniel Canlas.
