The ‘Pink’ tandem mustered yet another mammoth record-breaking crowd, but this time, in a province known as an ‘Arroyo’ bailiwick.
The Kapampangans have dethroned Pasig officially for holding the most-attended Leni-Kiko People’s Rally since the campaign season began.
On March 20, an estimated 140,000 crowd graced Emerald Avenue for the ‘PasigLaban’ Leni-Kiko People’s Rally. One of the highlights of that event was when the global pop star Ariana Grande, re-posted clips of the crowd singing along to one of her hit songs, Break Free.
On April 9, that Kakampink feat in Pasig got obliterated officially as an estimated 220,000 Leni-Kiko supporters showed up for the tandem’s ‘Manalakaran’ people’s rally, according to the local PNP and organizers.
Other sources, although unconfirmed, also suggest the number may have even exceeded 200,000. This feat is exceptional since Pampanga is known as the bailiwick of the former president and current lawmaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
