#LabanLeni2022: Robredo trends shortly after announcing bid for president
The hashtag #LabanLeni2022 trended on Twitter shortly after Vice President Leni Robredo officially declared her presidential bid for the May 2022 polls.
The hashtag rapidly gained traction, reaching over 400,000 tweets by late afternoon on the day of her announcement.
This surge in online support for Robredo's presidential run contrasts with the trending hashtag for Bongbong Marcos, which garnered over 55,000 tweets when he filed his candidacy.
Globally, #LabanLeni2022 also dominated Twitter trends, indicating a wide reach.
Other political hashtags such as #LetMannyLeadThePrayer and #WithdrawIsko were also trending.
The reason for #LabanLeni2022 being categorized under 'music' remains unclear but is possibly linked to its association with Robredo's campaign color, pink, and a remark about a band reunion.
Volunteer groups and organizations like Run TLR and Kaya Natin! Movement have expressed their support for Robredo's candidacy.
