A parody Facebook page called “Ang Malayang Pilipino” shared an album of altered images of public figures.
The album titled “Alternate Philippines” showed how these personalities will appear in their male and female versions. Each post also includes an altered name for the person.
“Warning: you can’t unsee. Proceed at your own risk,” its caption read.
As of writing, it contained 71 photos of people who are politicians from both sides of the political fence, reporters and candidates for the upcoming elections.
Each post shows the photo of the person with his or her name and juxtaposed it to the “alternate” version with a new witty name.
