“Dati apolitical ang stance ko dahil pakiramdam ko wala namang epekto at hindi magmamatter ang hindi ko pagparticipate sa pagboto.
“Pero narealize ko na kailangan natin makialam at makilahok sa usapin, gamitin ang boses at karapatan natin, hindi pwedeng tahimik at nasa safe side lang lagi. Dahil sa pinagsama samang boses natin nakasalalay ang magiging kinabukasan ng ating bansa, at ngayon i am proud to say na kasama akong tumitindig at pinipili ko si Leni Robredo bilang aking presidente.
“Mahusay, masipag, matapang, humaharap sa mga pagsubok, may malinaw at konkretong plano, at ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, may puso -- tapat, transparent at walang bahid ng korapsiyon at katiwalian, na pinakita niya sa atin for the past 6 years bilang bise presidente.
“Nung mga nakaraang taon sobra tayong nagagalit kapag may mga issue ng corruption, mismanage ng funds ng ilang mga government agencies and officials, injustices lalo na sa mga mahihirap, mga inactions, at walang konkrentong plano sa pagtugon sa pandemiya.
“Pero si @bise_leni nagsusumigaw ang kanyang track record at presensiya (which i searched for and read). Marami siyang nagawang programs despite her office being given limited budget. Marami siyang natulungan.
“Ito yung totoong public servant para sakin. May diskarte, may puso... Tapat na nagsisilbi.
“Kaya sumasama ako sa ilang campaigns Willingly, Voluntarily at Walang Bayad. Dahil naniniwala ako sa Gobyernong Tapat, Angat Buhay Lahat. God bless you @bise_leni, Sen. @kiko.pangilinan, and the rest of TroPang Angat,” Jona posted on Instagram.
VP Leni Robredo is the incumbent vice president of the Philippines. She is a human rights lawyer. Her husband was the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo. They have three daughters, namely, Aika, Patricia, and Jillian. VP Leni is currently running for the highest office of the land in the May 2022 national elections.
Regine Velasquez recently announced her full support for Vice President Leni Robredo, who is running for president. The Asia’s Songbird also expressed her support for Leni’s running mate, Senator Kiko Pangilinan. She wants Leni and Kiko to lead the country because she believes that they will brighten the lives of the Filipino people. Singer-host Ogie Alcasid, Regine’s husband, is also a vocal supporter of the Vice President.
Piolo Pascual also declared his full support for the presidential candidacy of Vice President Leni Robredo. Leni is his choice because of her genuine public service throughout the years, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The superstar actor believes that Leni is the presidential candidate who can truly unite the Filipino people because of her honesty and compassion as a public servant. He said that Leni’s grand rallies give a glimpse of the unity possible under her leadership.
