MANILA, Philippines — The photograph showing Cassandra Li Ong with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos is authentic but the narrative is not, the President's special envoy to China for trade, investments and tourism said on Monday.
Benito Techico was referring to the photo presented by Ong's lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, to the media that showed his client posing with the President, the First Lady and several others.
