CLAIM: Circulating photos showed Vice President Leni Robredo supposedly displaying an extravagant life by carrying luxury items during her family trip to New York City.

Photos came from Facebook pages of Filipinos who took pictures with Robredo and her daughters while in the Big Apple.

Some of these showed the vice president carrying a paper bag with the logo of Hermes and a handbag that is likened to one of the bag designs of Balenciaga.

They are being shared on Facebook, Twitter and even TikTok in the past few days.

Prompted by a certain Ernest Leigh who took a photo with the vice president in New York at Radio City Music Hall, online users claimed that she was shopping at the French luxury house Hermes in New York City.

One Facebook user also shared a photo of himself with Robredo as she was carrying these items.

The Facebook user’s post could no longer be accessed. Other online users, however, managed to screenshot it and share it online.

“Inaantok na ko, madam. Nice Balenciaga and Hermes,” the user said with the hashtag #Kakambings.

The hashtag has been used as an insult to Robredo’s supporters during the campaign season.
