In the said photo, Andre could be seen hugging one of Aiko's supporters, however, a tarpaulin of Leni-Kiko was spotted hanging on a gate.

"Ito po ang simpleng explanation. Nangangampanya po mga anak ko kanina and may gate dun ng supporter namen na maka Leni-Kiko, di ko kailanman ang naging ugali na saklawan ang utak at isip ng aking mga supporters. Kahit sa kapamilya ko kapatid ko maka-Leni, ako maka-BBM, never kami nag-away para sa sino man ang nais namin supportahan."

According to Aiko, she has not switched sides because of her stance and chosen leader. She also mentioned that whatever the results of the elections are, she will respect it.

"Hindi po ako lumipat ng susuportahan po dahil may paninindigan po ako. At kung ano man po ang kakalabasan ng Elections, rerespetuhin namin po yan. Pero wag niyo po ako pigilan ng nais ko supportahan. Nacionalista Party po ako, sa totoo lang po di ko pa nakikilala sila Senator Bongbong Marcos at Inday Sara, pero yun ang paninindigan ko, asa kanila ang aking paniniwala."
