Marikina City 2nd District Councilor Jaren Feliciano on Sunday, Sept. 28, denounced an AI-edited photo of her being hugged by Marikina City Rep. Marcy Teodoro that has been circulating on social media.
She described the AI-edited photo of her and Teodoro posted on a Facebook page entitled "Marikina Daily News" as "malicious, below the belt, and a clear act of black propaganda."
Feliciano denied the allegations that she has an intimate relationship with the Teodoro.
“Nakakalungkot, nakakainsulto at nakakayamot ang mga ganitong bintang. Sobrang below the belt na ang kabastusan ninyo. Itong AI-edited photo na pinapakalat nila: malinaw na paninira at pambabastos. Fake na nga, AI-generated pa (These accusations are sad, insulting and annoying. Your rudeness is so below the belt. This AI-edited photo they are spreading: clear slander and insult. It's fake, AI-generated)," she said.
Feliciano also posted the original photo of her alongside the fake post,  proving that the photo of her being hugged by Teodoro is a fake.
She warned those behind the black propaganda and using her image for political mudslinging, particularly in attempts to destroy Teodoro.
“Tigilan niyo ako. Tigilan ninyo para lang makapanira kayo ng tao. Wag niyo kong simulan. Hindi po kami props, hindi kami meme material, at hindi kami kasangkapan sa mga palabas niyo (Stop using me and my image to hurt people. Don't start with me. We are not props, we are not meme material, and we are not tools in your shows)," Feliciano stressed.
“Malaki po ang respeto ko kay Cong. Marcy Teodoro at kay Mayor Maan Teodoro. Alam ng mga taong nakakakilala sa akin at sure ako sila pa ang unang magsasabi na ang ibinabato ninyong kasinungalingan tungkol dito lalo na kay Cong. Marcy ay walang katotohanan (I have great respect for Cong. Marcy Teodoro and Mayor Maan Teodoro. People who know me know this and I'm sure they will be the first to say that the lies you are spreading about this, especially about Cong. Marcy, are untrue)," she noted.
The solon is currently in hot water after he was alleged to be connected in the anomalous flood control projects scandal in the country, as well as being involved in sexual assault allegations against two policewomen who previously served as part of his security detail.
Teodoro denied the accusations saying that these are just efforts to destroy his reputation as a public official.
