Presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe and her team barnstormed on Tuesday the province of Pampanga, the bailiwick of former President and now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
It was Arroyo who defeated Poe’s father, the late action king Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ), during the 2004 presidential race that was allegedly marred with massive fraud.
