220,000-crowd powers festive Leni-Kiko grand rally in Pampanga
Vice President Leni Robredo's campaign rally in San Fernando, Pampanga, drew a record-breaking crowd of 220,000 attendees, exceeding the 130,000 from a previous rally in Pasig.
The event, held in the home province of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, featured a festive atmosphere with giant lanterns and free food.
Robredo expressed surprise at the large turnout, recalling her past electoral defeat in the province in 2016.
She stated that genuine strength comes from a united populace, not from politicians, money, or machinery.
The rally, named 'Manalakaran' meaning 'to stand up' in Kapampangan, supported Robredo, her running mate Senator Francis 'Kiko' Pangilinan, and their senatorial candidates.
