ILOILO CITY—Her voice noticeably hoarse apparently as a result of her nonstop campaigning, Vice President Leni Robredo on Tuesday (May 3) rallied her supporters in Western Visayas to double their efforts and deliver more votes for her than they did when the region gave her a big win in 2016.

Robredo is on a four-province sortie in the region with five days left in the campaign period.

Robredo told her supporters that “the people’s voice is much stronger than the politicians’,” as they shouted: “Leni, Leni, Leni.”

From Aklan, Robredo will proceed to Tibiao town in neighboring Antique province before proceeding to Iloilo City for a grand rally at the La Paz District public plaza at 3:30 p.m. She will then cross to Negros Island for proclamation rallies in Bacolod City in the evening.
