MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo’s new campaign logo “welcomes all colors,” an official of her campaign team said Wednesday.
“Kahit ano pa ang kulay mo, kung ikaw ay para sa pag-usad ng ating bansa sa ilalim ng isang gobyernong tapat, welcome ka!” former House Deputy Speaker Erin Tañada, the campaign manager of the Robredo-Pangilinan’s Senate slate, said in a statement.
This, following the launch of Robredo’s campaign logo, which is seen to bring “together citizens from all walks of life.”
Former Senator Bam Aquino, Robredo’s campaign manager, earlier unveiled the Vice President’s new logo which feature a multicolored flower.
Lahat kasama sa laban. Lahat ipinaglalaban. Lahat paglilingkuran. Lahat pakikinggan.
Dalhin natin ngayon ang people's campaign upang lumikha ng people's government na tutupad sa pangarap ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino.#IpanaloNa10ParaSaLahat pic.twitter.com/tThLvdC6Cm

Tañada described the new logo as a “fitting symbol of the diversity of what is essentially a people’s campaign.”
“Ang mensahe po ng Robredo-Pangilinan campaign team ay simple lamang: lahat ng kulay ay welcome na sa amin,” Tañada said.
“We are all united for love of country and in the belief of a better future under a Robredo presidency,” he added.
The revamped logo also “reaffirms what we really are since Day One: A big tent that welcomes people from all social and economic backgrounds, and without regard to their previous campaign colors,” he further said.
He said it is a response to the “non-stop mass exodus of people and their leaders from other camps” who have backed Robredo’s presidential bid.
“The big switch to our favor has been going on. At madami pa kaming inaasahang pagsasanib puwersa sa mga susunod na araw bago ang Mayo 9,” he added.
He attributed this to what he said is the “nice, patient groundwork of our happy volunteers and the superior program of action of the Leni-Kiko tandem.”
“Kasama na rin dyan ang big crowds. ‘Yung positive vibe is infectious,” he said.
‘Happy campaign’
“Kaya pagkatapos ng rally, uuwi sa kanilang pamilya at lugar na may hatid na kwento ng pag-asa. And this is when conversion begins,” he added.
Tañada also believes that former supporters of candidates “feel welcome in Leni-Kiko grassroots groups.”
“As I said, ours is a happy campaign,” he said, adding that grassroots expansion has been helped by the “glitz and glamor factor” of celebrities and influencers showing their support for Robredo.
“All the stars have come down to VP Leni’s side,” he said.
“But that is just one sector, although visible,” he added. “Doctors, lawyers, schools, businessmen, laity — the country’s biggest — have also endorsed the vice president and Senator Kiko.”
