Chito Miranda addressed fellow voters and called for support for senatorial aspirant Kiko Pangilinan who, he said, is qualified for a seat in the Senate despite his “corny” posts on social media.
The Parokya ni Edgar frontman declared his endorsement of Pangilinan, his uncle, through his Instagram page on Thursday, May 8.
Miranda noted how Pangilinan along with his fellow senatorial candidate Bam Aquino has been leading the senatorial surveys in some of the top universities in the Philippines.
“Sana all. Sana ganyan pumili ng kandidato ang lahat ng mga botante sa Pilipinas,” Miranda said. “Sana talaga pinag-aaralan at pinag-iisipan natin ng mabuti kung ano ba talaga ang importante pagdating sa pagpili natin kung sino ang nararapat na iboto.”
Miranda then expressed hope that the country will be led by upright government officials.
“Kaya nakiki-usap ako sa inyo, PLEASE, isama ninyo si Kiko sa mga iboboto niyo,” he said.
“Oo, aminado ako, sobrang corny ng mga post nya sa Facebook, di naman natin mapagkakaila ‘yun e,” he quipped. “Pero di rin natin mapagkakaila na matino talaga siya. Wala siyang bahid ng kurapsyon ever since.”
Miranda further argued how critics of Pangilinan only take notice of the politician’s “corny” social media posts because they have nothing to say against him with regards to his performance as a public official.
The musician also underscored Pangilinan’s platforms that focus on agriculture and food seurity.
“Maaaring trip nyo si Kiko, maaaring hindi (and I respect that), pero chong, you can’t deny na magaling siya na senador and kailangan natin siya sa senado,” Miranda stated.
“Hindi na pagpapa-cute sa Facebook ang pinag-uusapan natin dito. Kinabukasan na ng Pilipinas at ng food security natin,” he added. “Please, 12 naman ang ililista mo eh. Pakisama naman si Kuya Kiko sa 12 mo.”
