Rachel Alejandro replies to Leni Robredo after netizens confuse her with the VP

Rachel Alejandro left a comment on Vice President Leni Robredo's Facebook post, after the latter set things straight and clarified that it was in fact Rachel, and not her, who was in the Palawan photo.

"VP Leni, ako din po, I got so many comments that I look like you when I posted that photo on IG. Napa-smile na lang ako," Rachel said, echoing what the VP wrote in her post.

Subtly, the 46-year-old actress hinted at a possible project. "Basta pag may movie tungkol sa buhay niyo, may idea na kayo sino ang puedeng mag-portray," she wrote.

Rachel also took the opportunity to express her gratitude to VP Leni despite them not having formally met.

"I don’t believe we’ve properly met but let me use this opportunity to thank you for all that you do," she wrote.

Robredo on Monday shared a screenshot of Rachel Alejandro having a vacation in Palawan and said she "was initially confused why a number of people are sending me this."

Apparently, many netizens mistakenly thought it was her, and not Rachel, who was vacationing in El Nido.

"Kalma lang po. Hindi ako yan. Andito po ako sa opisina, wala sa Palawan," she wrote on Facebook.

"Ako na po humihingi ng paumanhin kay Rachel Alejandro," she added.

Rachel was vacationing in El Nido last week and had been posting photos of herself there. Many confused netizens mistakenly thought Rachel was Robredo in one of her selfies. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
