@maracepeda Like in past Robredo rallies, we’re seeing a lot of young Filipinos here in Marinduque. This group of friends prepared free ice candy, which they plan to give out for free for their fellow “Kakampinks.” | via @maracepeda #PHVote #WeDecide #PHVoteRobredo

@maracepeda One thing to watch out for in Marinduque? This group of pink-clad senior citizens who will be performing the “putong,” a traditional dance performed in Marinduque to welcome guests, wish them good health. | via @maracepeda #PHVote #WeDecide #PHVoteRobredo

@maracepeda Young Marinduqueños dressed in their Moriones Festival costume will be serving as ushers for the Leni-Kiko slate. Bonn Buenaventura (middle), a son of a farmer, says he’s backing Leni-Kiko because their pro-agri platform, clean track records resonate with him. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo won in Marinduque in the 2016 VP race, beating the late dictator’s son Ferdinand Marcos Jr with 40,598 votes vs Marcos’ 22,022. Over 161k votes up for grabs here in 2022.

Can Robredo win again in Marinduque in 2022? The Velascos, the ruling clan here, are Duterte allies
