Presidential candidate Leni Robredo, running mate Kiko Pangilinan, and their Senate slate barnstorm vote-rich Cebu today. This is her second stop after Bantayan Island. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
@beacupin Most of today’s crowd are seeking shelter under tents at the perimeter of the venue as senatorial bets and their proxies speak on stage. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
@beacupin Crowd begins moving closer to the stage — under the full heat of the sun — as VP candidate Sen Kiko Pangilinan takes the stage. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
@beacupin Pangilinan recalls moment in Pampanga, when farmers raised his and VP Leni Robredo’s hands, as well as other stops when sectors, especially the marginalized, endorsed their tandem. “Taong bayan na ang tumataya. Taong bayan na ang kumikilos.” #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
@beacupin Pangilinan then asserts: when it’s the people who have your back, victory is near.

@beacupin Robredo says they prefer holding several stops across the province rather than staging just one big rally — that way, she says, they can also reach those who can’t afford to travel to Cebu City or Mandaue. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
@beacupin Robredo says this is how it’ll be under a Robredo administration — it’s the officials who will go to the farthest areas to reach those in need. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @beacupin
