A lot of pink parols are currently being put up at the sports complex. Negrense Kakampinks call these stars of hope. Paglaum, the name of Robredo’s grand rally venue, also means hope in the Ilonggo language. #PHVote
In this story, @indayevarona explains how the resurrection of the Star of Hope more than 4 decades since its birth in the 1980's sugar crisis under the Marcos regime signals both new threats to democracy and a pledge to fight against the dark.

@rapplerdotcom The Senate ribbon committee moved last Fri to send Dargani and Ong to jail if they fail to retrieve financial documents that senators are asking for. The Pharmally execs failed to give exact location of the docs, so they're going to jail today.

@rapplerdotcom Robredo asks labor leaders to look at the track records of the candidates: Madali lang mag-promise lalo na pag panahon ng eleksyon..Yung ibang mga kandidato, nagbibigay sila ng pahanon sa mga manggagawa? Kinakausap ba nila? Yung yung indikasyon na hindi lang siya campaign promise
@rapplerdotcom Robredo says it's not enough that she would promise reforms via the covenant signing, says she would also need the cooperation of labor leaders to improve the plight of Filipino workers should she win: Hindi ako magikero. Maraming mga factors na kailangang gawin para mangyari ito

Artists Ina Esquivel and AG Saño tell @rapplerdotcom the murals they and other artists created for the Volunteer Center of presidential bet VP Leni Robredo and her running mate Sen Kiko Pangilinan are a "labor of love" which took them 2 weeks to finish, free of charge. #PHVote Image
@rapplerdotcom Muralist AG Saño, who designed the 60-foot mural of Leni-Kiko, says: We chose to do this as a labor of love... because we believe in their cause. That’s why we want to rally behind that. No amount could match the love that we have for their cause. #PHVote #WeDecide Image
@rapplerdotcom Saño on the Leni-Kiko mural: They’re looking at the direction of the east holding their chest as if singing the national anthem and committing to the flag. And you will also see on their shirts written, some popular quotes from them as well as the Constitution. #PHVote #WeDecide Image
