Kiko Pangilinan no show in Borongan sortie
Vice presidential candidate Kiko Pangilinan decided not to attend the campaign rally with his running mate Vice President Leni Robredo in Borongan, Eastern Samar because of this.
Campaign rallies are getting intensified as Election Day is just around the corner. However, Senator Pangilinan skipped a rally of the Angat Buhay Lahat team just recently.
Based on the report from Rappler’s reporter Mara Cepeda, the decision of the Senator to skip the rally was because he was told that the local officials of Borongan only want to endorse VP Leni and he is not included in the endorsement.
“I was informed by our campaign HQ that the local officials wanted only to endorse VP Leni and so to ensure the locals came out in full support of her bid, I agreed not to attend,” Sen. Kiko Pangilinan said.
On the other hand, he is thankful that the supporters of the Leni-Kiko tandem in Borongan were asking for his presence. He also said that he would love to meet the people of Eastern Samar under a different set of political circumstances.
“In certain localities, to borrow the term, for Leni to increase, I must decrease,” the husband of Megastar Sharon Cuneta said.
Meanwhile, in the vice presidential race, the brother of Sharon, Chet Cuneta, appeared to be supporting Senate President Tito Sotto and not Pangilinan. Previously, Tito Sen shared a photo with Sharon’s brother and they were doing the campaign gesture of the Lacson-Sotto tandem.
To recall, the camp of Tito Sen, especially his daughter Ciara Sotto was “disappointed” when Sen. Kiko Pangilinan announced that he is running for vice president as well.
