In the image, Robredo appears to trail Marcos Jr. by less than 400,000 votes with over 19.7 million. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/checkyourfact.com\/2021\/03\/18\/fact-check-image-banner-sara-duterte-carpio-run-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Does This Image Show A Banner Urging Sara Duterte-Carpio To Run For President?)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The image is digitally altered.
