The Robredo People’s Council – Cavite has released a statement condemning “malicious, destructive, irresponsible, and baseless” allegations in the recently held grand people’s rally for presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo on Friday, March 4, at the General Trias Sports Park, General Trias City, Cavite.

“Una, walang hinakot at binayaran ng P500 kapalit ang paglahok sa nasabing ‘rally’. Ang pakikilahok sa nasabing rally ay bunga ng nag-uumapaw na paghahangad ng mga Caviteño para sa pagbabago. Ito ay purong “bolunterismo” – walang hinihinging kabayaran at kapalit kundi ang pag-asang maibabalik ang matino, mahusay, at may resibong pamamahala sa bayan,” the statement, released on Sunday, March 6, read.

The group also slammed accusations of red-tagging supporters who joined the rally and accused them of involvement with the National Democratic Front (NDF).

“Ang iresponsable at mapanirang konklusyon na ito lalo pa’t nagmumula sa iginagalang na mga pinuno ng bansa ay sadyang makapaminsala sa moral at dignidad ng mga kabataang Caviteño na ang nais lamang ay iwasto ang pamamalakad sa ating pamahalaan,” the organizers said.

The crowd turnout has turned into a friendly competition among supporters from different regions. Future rallies are expected to beat the record-breaking 47,000 people in attendance at the Cavite people’s rally.

Robredo’s spokesperson, Atty. Barry Gutierrez, was himself in awe of the sheer number of people showing up in the sorties.

“Ngayon lang tayo nakakita ng ganitong level ng partisipasyon mula sa mga ordinaryong Pilipino sa isang kampanya na sila ‘yung nangunguna, sila ‘yung kusang kumikilos, sila ‘yung gumagastos sa totoo. [N]agsimula doon sa Iloilo, 40,000. So ano daw, dapat talunin. So kami ng Cavite, 47. Kahapon, Bulacan, 45. So, talagang palagay ko ‘yung susunod dito, ang susunod na grand rally ang target na natin, mahigit singkwenta mil di ba? Dahil ano na eh, kompetisyon na ito eh,” he said on the Biserbisyong Leni radio show.

From witty placards to fireworks displays, Robredo’s supporters continue to outdo each other in friendly ways, all through their own pockets and their own volition.

“Sila ang naglalabas ng pera, di ba, para magpa-print ng mga poster, para gumawa ng kanilang mga signs, para magkaraoon ng mga t-shirt. At gaya nga ng binanggit niyo, ‘yung pagpunta doon sa mga venue talagang ‘yung mga tao ay naglalakad, talagang sila ang nagkukusang magpunta diyan. Walang kahakot-hakot sa mga rally na ito,” said Gutierrez.
