Here at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, where several groups are set to stage a "history fair" commemorating the life and legacy of former Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr.

Aquino, once foremost critic to the late dictator Marcos Sr., was assassinated this day in 1983. Several youth, civic and ML survivor groups have set up different exhibits here showcasing timelines, photographs, or documents relating to martial law. Their goal is to correct falsehoods and distortions about the era that saw thousands dead, arrested or disappeared.

JUST IN: As VP Leni Robredo barnstorms across Mindanao, Basilan Rep. and former ARMM Gov. Mujiv Hataman endorses VP Leni Robredo for the presidency and calls on the whole Bangsamoro to support her bid for Malacañang. Hataman: Ang pakikisama ni Leni Robredo, hindi lang salita, hindi lang photo op, hindi lang papeles o proyekto, kundi harapang pakikitungo. Alam niya ang ating kuwento dahil pag may gulo, sakuna, o anumang isyu, agad-agad siyang pumupunta, tumatapak sa ground zero...

In strongly worded statement, VP Leni Robredo pushes back vs false texts blasts alleging she plans on forming a coalition govt with the CPP: "Para klaro: kasinungalingan ito. Ang mga talagang kilala ako, alam na hindi ako naniniwala sa dahas para solusyonan ang anumang problema." Robredo: Once and for all: Kaliwa, kanan, taas, baba, lahat handa tayong pakinggan — basta tapat, mapayapa, at handang magtrabaho para iangat ang buhay ng Pilipino.

And the North delivered.

Despite Vice President Leni Robredo's fears that nobody would show up here, thousands of Kakampinks turned up at her Grand Rally here in Isabela province.

Certainly smaller than her previous ones, but could signal cracks in the Solid North vote. Megastar Sharon Cuneta now here to introduce her husband, VP candidate Kiko Pangilinan. "Hindi po namin inexpect na ganito ang sasalubong sa amin sa Isabela. Ganito pala magmahal ang mga Ilokano dito."

Supporters of VP Leni Robredo await her on her hustings across Cagayan and Isabela. They're not here just to woo Marcos voters, but to see the “Kakampinks” who dare wade against the north’s political current.#VotePH The odds are hugely against her here. Unlike her last stop, Negros Occidental (which she won by a landslide in 2016), she lost massively in Cagayan (53,877 votes to Marcos’ 574,467) and Isabela (86,862 to 504,463). #VotePH
