Threats of red are the warm, pink hearts of volunteers, ignited into Solidarity and Pakikipagkapwa, by the red blood in them, mirroring God’s goodness.

They are fired up by their love of Inang Bayan: to create public murals, beautifully made sculpture of Maria Leonor, spoken word performances, murals on buses; unprecedented endorsements by student councils, faculty of civil law, local party list’s endorsements, 19 former financial executives, and mobilizations of thousands in Samar, Bohol, CAMANAVA, and more.

Some referred to these gatherings as tsunamis of pinks, inspiring folks to keep giving to others, mobilizing as well in cities outside of the Philippines: Los Angeles, London U.K.

Newspapers continue to report the high survey results of the other candidate and frozen at 16% for Leni Gerona Robredo which belies the ground game of enthusiastic volunteers gathering in thousands, mobilizing their neighbors and community, pooling their resources, creating their own campaign materials and essentially fueling and propelling this campaign to keep moving forward. Enthusiasm is not reducible to any metrics, and surveyors are unable to quantify how thousands have been mobilized since.

It only takes 22 million votes according to John Nery to win this presidency, as written by Philippine Inquirer’s Manuel Quezon III.

The surveys are questionable, given the sustained vibrance of the ground game of VP Leni Robredo ‘s campaign, resonating beyond the geographical borders of the Philippines into major cities around the world, week after week since she announced she is running independently.

One can credibly say, we are awake, ready to vote, to write a new chapter of electing an incorruptible, honest, smart, service-oriented, “people-first”, compassionate 17th Philippine President Leni Gerona Robredo who serves with integrity and uses an audit-compliant, ISO 9000 quality system of operations in running her current OVP.

May the force be with you, Madame Commander-in-Chief to be!


I got inspired sculpting a piece when I saw one of her speeches during a debate a few weeks ago. Her power impelled me to create an artwork that will represent beauty, love, integrity, and bravery.

I never imagined that I will meet her today, in the flesh.

An artwork inspired by a woman who is unyielding yet graceful, capable yet humble.

Thank you VP Leni Robredo for being an inspiration to many.

‘MARIA LEONOR’ found her home.
