A Facebook post showing a photo of a signpost saying ‘No to Mar’ in Tacloban City is fake, the Agence France Presse (AFP) reported on Thursday night. ADVERTISEMENTThe post was referring to Manuel “Mar” Roxas, the presidential candidate who lost to President Rodrigo Duterte during the 2016 elections. Tacloban was among the most affected areas during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) in 2013. The AFP, however, traced the fake image, saying it was manipulated from a photo taken from the travel resource website, GoAbroad. The GoAbroad website featured the same billboard which says, “Welcome to Tacloban City.” It was published in December 2013.
