Duterte’s website uses Iloilo flyover photo in highlighting accomplishments
A website claiming to be officially owned by Davao City mayor and presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte mistakenly used a photo of a flyover in Iloilo as featured image for the mayor’s accomplishments.
Ilonggo netizens who visited the website (at rduterte.com/mainsite/) quickly noticed that photo was taken not anywhere in Davao City but from General Luna Street, Iloilo City.
The photo (first shared by I am Iloilo Facebook page) shows construction of Jalandoni flyover, a P386.6-million infrastructure project implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) under the President’s Bridge Program during the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The flyover in intersection of Jalandoni and General Luna streets opened in July 9, 2010.
