Facebook users share image from Indonesia in misleading posts about failed construction projects in the Philippines

A photo collage has been shared in multiple Facebook posts that claim it shows failed construction projects by a political opposition party in the Philippines. The claim is misleading: while one photo in the collage genuinely shows a bridge in the Southeast Asian country, the second photo has in fact circulated in news reports about schoolchildren in Indonesia forced to cross a river by foot to go to school.
The collage was posted on Facebook on February 18, 2021.
It shows a photo of a bridge that has Tagalog-language caption which translates to English as: "bridge without a river"; and another photo showing children submerged in water, captioned: "river without a bridge".
