Various celebrities and personalities issued a reminder to supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan ahead of the May 9 elections.
As a guide, actress/host Jolina Magdangal said Leni-Kiko supporters must remember just four letters – L-E-N-I – to make voting easier.

“L-LISTAHAN! Gumawa na ng listahan ng mga iboboto sa May 9!” said actress Pinky Amador.

“Wag kakalimutan: 10, Robredo, para Presidente! 7, Kiko Pangilinan para Bise Presidente!” composer Nica del Rosario said.

For “E”, which stands for ENERGY, singer Jason Dy and actresses Cherry Pie Picache and Janine Gutierrez and actor Leo Martinez encouraged supporters to use the remaining days of the campaign to do house-to-house to encourage more voters for the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem.

“Ibuhos na natin lahat sa mga natitirang araw!” said Jason.

“This is the fight of our lives. Nasa kamay mo ang pagkapanalo ng bawat isa sa atin,” added Cherry Pie.

“Mag-house-to-house at ikampanya pa natin ang Team Leni! Kumatok, kumausap, at kumumbinsi tao-sa tao!” said Janine.

“Makikita mo, maraming kapareho mong nagmamahal sa bayan. Puntahan natin sila,” said Leo.

As for “N”, singer Noel Cabangon said it stands for NUMERO, where voters should know the numbers of their candidates and voting precincts.

“Gawin ang homework ahead of time ha, para hindi tayo mag-last minute cramming,” Jolina urged voters.

As for “I”, Mela Habijan, the 2020 Miss Trans Global, Jolina, Pinky, and Cherry Pie, called supporters to INVITE families, friends and acquaintances to vote on May 9.

“Kapamilya, kaibigan, kapitbahay! Don’t miss anyone! Text and call everyone! Samahan lahat ng dapat samahan!” she said.

“Make sure na ikaw din, may kasamang bumoto sa May 9.” Pinky said.

“Yan ang assignment natin sa mga natitirang araw,” said Cherry Pie.

“Dahil ang laban na ito ay laban para sa gobyernong tapat para sa lahat!” added actor Sandino Martin.

Through this, Noel, Janine, Jason and Sandino said we can create a new Philippines that is rooted in love, kindness and equality.

“Isang bayan kung saan walang Pilipinong maiiwan. Lahat aalagaan at paglilingkuran,” Jason said.

“Ito ang pangako ni Leni Robredo, at sasamahan natin siyang tuparin ang lahat ng ito,” Janine added.

“Leni Robredo tayo sa May 9!” couple Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez-Alcasid said.

“Ipapanalo na10 ‘to!” concluded the love team of Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano.

“IbotoNa10Pilipinas,” ended rapper Gloc9.

In a heartfelt tribute to mothers ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, actor Dingdong Dantes declared that he would vote for one in the upcoming elections on May 9.

“Sa inyo po ang aking buong pagpupugay ... ang aking paghanga, ang aking serbisyo, ang aking boto,” Dingdong said in a video message where he expressed love and admiration for his mother.

“Tulad ninyong lahat, mahal ko ang Nanay ko. Pero hindi ko lubos matukoy kung bakit, hanggang masaksihan ko mismo sa asawa ko,” he said.

In the video, Dingdong enumerated the virtues of a good mother, from protecting their children from any harm and putting their welfare ahead of herself.

“Kaytapang talaga ng mga Nanay. Handang makipaglaban, iharang sa peligro ang sariling katawan, makipagsapalaran, ipagpaliban ang sariling kapakanan. Walang aatrasan. Walang hamong sinusukuan. Ibang klaseng magmahal. Radikal!” he said.

He also called mothers as “miracle workers” for their ability to make ends meet despite having a meager budget.

“Lahat ng sakit, naiinda. Pagkaing isusubo na lang, ibibigay pa sa mga anak niya. Prayoridad niyang umangat ang buhay ng mga mahal niya,” Dingdong said.

While mothers are considered the “light of the house”, Dingdong said they also deserved to be called “pillar of the house” for doing more than they can for their family.

“Inspirasyon namin siya para patuloy na maging mabuti at gumawa ng mabuti. Kaya buung-buo kong itataya sa pangangalaga niya ang mga pangarap ko para sa aking mga anak, para sa aming pamilya.” Dingdong explained.

“Sana lahat tayo, ipagdiwang pang lalo ang mga ina. Dahil alam nating lahat na totoong dakila sila,” he added.

Dingdong supported Leni Robredo’s vice presidential run in 2016.

Vice President Leni Robredo has clear and concrete plans to further strengthen the Philippine National Police (PNP) if she wins the presidency in the May 9 elections.

This was assured by actor Edu Manzano in a video message where he stressed the need for a brave leader who will fortify the country’s justice system and lead the government’s fight against criminal syndicates and illegal drugs.

“Kaya kailangan natin ng matapang na Presidente. Iyong malakas ang loob. Iyong kayang patibayin ang sistema ng hustisya at mas kayang palakasin pa ang mga pulis natin,” Edu said.

He said as president, VP Leni will continue the government war against illegal drugs but through a humane and lawful manner.

“Iyong itutuloy ang laban sa illegal drugs. Pero sa tama at makataong paraan. Walang inosenteng madadamay,” Edu said.

“Iyan ang mga siguradong plano ni VP Leni. Para sa mas malakas na Philippine National Police,” he added.

Edu pointed out that former and retired PNP officials have backed VP Leni's candidacy because they believe she’s more than qualified to be the country’s next leader

“Kaya naman maraming dating opisyal ng PNP ang suportado si VP Leni. Mga magigiting na pulis na naniniwalang si VP Leni ang karapat-dapat na lider ng bansa natin,” the actor stressed.

“Kakampi niya ang kapulisan at bawat Pilipino. Kay VP Leni, magkakampi tayong lahat dahil totoo ang hustisya para sa lahat ng Pilipino,” he ended.

When faced with issues or rumors, actor Piolo Pascual admitted he prefers to usually remain silent instead of addressing them directly.

“Bilang artista, sanay na akong pukpukin ng kung anu-anong issue. May mga pagkakataon na kailangang iaddress ang isang bagay pero mas madalas, pinipili kong tumahimik,” Piolo said in a video reiterating his support for Vice President Leni Robredo as the country’s next president.

Piolo also treated political issues the same way, opting to just silently observe instead of airing his sentiment, afraid that he might get criticized for giving his unsolicited opinion.

“Naisip ko, masyado nang magulo ang mundo para makidagdag pa sa samu't saring ingay. At hindi ko rin alam kung nararapat ba akong pakinggan. Hindi naman ako eksperto sa pulitika,” he explained.

But with the country’s future at stake on May 9, Piolo said he cannot afford to stay silent, stressing that silence is privilege that no one should enjoy at this time.

“Ang pananahimik sa ganitong panahon ay pagkampi sa mga pwersang nagpapahirap sa maraming Pilipino. Sa mga nakaraang araw, palakas nang palakas ang sigaw. Hindi na ito kayang isawalang-bahala ng bawat Pilipinong nagmamahal sa bayan,” he added.

“Bulong na ngayo'y isang malakas na ring sigaw, si Leni Robredo ang pangulo ko. Abogada, ekonomista, tapat, at walang bahid ng corruption,” he said.

To ensure that his decision to back VP Leni is the right move, the actor conducted a thorough research, started to listen to other people and opened his mind before finally airing his support for the Vice President.

Like many other volunteers, Piolo said he answered VP Leni's call to stand up and fight for the country and the welfare of the Filipino people, especially those who are in need.

“Pagkain sa mesa. Edukasyon. Maayos na kalusugan. Hindi ba't ito naman ang araw-araw nating pinagsisikapan para sa ating pamilya? Hinihiling ng panahon na lawakan natin ang ganitong pagsisikap, hindi lang para sa mga mahal natin sa buhay, kundi para sa ating mga kababayang nangangailangan,” he pointed out.

Piolo underscored the importance of having a government that would help the people achieve their dreams and provide them with a better life through laws, programs and platforms.

“Tapat na pamamahalang magbibigay sa atin ng kasiguraduhan, tutulong sa atin sa panahon ng kalamidad o matinding pangangailangan,” he said.
