He said, “Was too hesitant to hug her to thank her for running and to somehow give her more courage to fight on, but she surprisingly gave it first and I felt so much hope and reassurance in return.”
According to the actor, this is his first time to attend a campaign rally for someone who is not his family. The actor has come from an influential family of politicians. His father is former President Joseph Estrada.
He added, “But it ain’t about colors for me; it’s about being Filipino. No hero-worship here, but candidates who are as genuine, as qualified, and as capable as her don’t come around too often. Let’s not waste this rare opportunity to let someone like her lead.”
