Robredo rallies in Negros Occ. draw more than 100K 'kakampinks'
More than 100,000 people attended various gatherings of presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo in Negros Occidental, capped by a grand rally in Bacolod City.
The attendance figure of 100,000 surpassed the previous record of 47,000 set in Cavite, making it the largest crowd for a Robredo-Pangilinan rally.
An estimated 70,000 supporters packed the Paglaum Stadium in Bacolod City for the grand rally, despite facing an early downpour and transportation issues.
The crowd during Robredo's earlier events in Sagay City was estimated at 20,000, with another 20,000 supporters attending stops in San Carlos City, Kabankalan City, La Carlota City, Binalbagan, and Hinigaran.
The volunteer organizing group, Laban Leni Negros Occidental, confirmed that preparations were complete.
Supporters displayed overwhelming volunteerism and a festive mood, with some likening the event to the city's MassKara Festival.
The rally featured volunteer celebrity performers, including the band Rivermaya, and commenced with the main program starting at 3 p.m.
Vice President Robredo expressed her gratitude for the high energy of the crowd and vowed to prioritize the realization of the Negros Guimaras-Iloilo Bridge if elected.
