CAMPAIGN TRAIL: Now allied with Davao del Norte’s Alvarez, Robredo returns to Tagum City
Over 35,000 supporters, known as 'Kakampinks', gathered in Tagum City, Davao del Norte, to show their support for presidential candidate Leni Robredo.
The event saw a surprising appearance from Pantaleon Alvarez, a congressman who previously sought to impeach Robredo, now rallying behind her presidential bid.
Despite initial challenges due to afternoon rain, the crowd grew significantly as Robredo took the stage.
Alvarez urged Mindanao to "wake up" and support Robredo, emphasizing the need for a strong mother figure to lead the country.
The large turnout in Davao del Norte, a region often considered a political stronghold for other candidates, is seen as a significant boost for Robredo's campaign.
