00:00Pink candidates Kiko Pangilinan and Bam Aquino returned to Cavite Tuesday, February 11 to
00:05officially set in motion their campaign to regain Senate seats.
00:09The two held their kickoff rally in Dasmariñas, the city with the most number of voters in
00:13the province.
00:14Cavite has a voting population of almost 2.5 million.
00:18In 2022, they helped draw one of the biggest rallies for then-presidential candidate Lenny
00:22Robredo in General Trias and Dasmariñas.
00:25Pangilinan and Aquino are banking on the Lenny Magic, the quote, pink wave that delivered
00:2915 million votes for former Vice President Lenny Robredo in 2022.
00:34Aquino presents the Kiko-Bam tandem as an alternative to the two dominant camps, the
00:38Marcos and Duterte factions.
00:40There are two large groups that are now gathering.
00:43Senator Kiko and I are clearly encouraging the people.
00:48Pangilinan, meantime, urges his supporters to focus on gaining votes over engaging in
00:53world wars with rival camps.
00:55Especially to our supporters, let's not fight for different points of view, instead, let's
01:01convince, let's encourage, so that we can increase our numbers.
01:06Pangilinan and Aquino are outside the winning circle in the latest Pulse Asia survey.
01:10The 2025 midterm elections will be crucial for the opposition, with Senator Riza Ontiveros
01:15currently the only dissenting voice in the Senate.
