MANILA, Philippines — Presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo hitched a ride on a motorcycle to get to her campaign rally at the General Trias Sports Park in Cavite on Friday night after encountering heavy traffic.
A video posted on Facebook by a Robredo supporter named Ellen showed Robredo riding pillion on a motorcycle.
In a tweet, Kristine Danica Mariano said the motorcycle is owned by her husband Sherwin Descalso Abdon.
Mister ko po yan at sa amin po yung motor. Sherwin Descalso Abdon po ang name nya, may fb po sya pero walang tweeter. Hindi po kami trolls o nanghihingi ng kung ano ano. Mga tao po ang kumokontak sa amin at si VP @lenirobredo po mismo ang nakisakay. No to bashing po please. ❤ pic.twitter.com/hPuLeXFox5

(Leni Robredo. She will do everything. She will look for ways. Just to reach you. Thank you for showering your love, Cavite!)
Around 47,000 supporters welcomed Robredo and her campaign team at the grand rally.
