MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan were set to conclude their three-month nationwide campaign to become the next president and vice president, respectively, via a miting de avance in Naga City on May 6 and Makati City on May 7.

“Sa pagtatapos ng ating kampanya, magsisimula ang kulay rosas na bukas para sa Pilipinas!” said Robredo’s camp in an announcement.
(At the conclusion of our campaign, a pink-colored future will officially begin for the Philippines!)

“Lahat ng kulay ay imbitado, dahil ang Gobyernong Tapat ay para sa lahat ng Pilipino! IPANALO NA NA10 ‘TO!” the announcement read.
(All colors are invited because Honest Government is for all Filipinos! Let us win this!)
The people’s rallies of Robredo and Pangilinan are known to break records with attendance reaching way more than 100,000, according to estimates of organizers and local police.
