SUPPORTERS of former vice president Leni Robredo are regrouping to launch a new movement aimed at securing the Senate seats for former senators Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan in the 2025 elections.
The iMk Leni group, in a statement, announced its intention to reach out to other “pink groups” and rally the 15 million Filipinos who supported Robredo in the 2022 presidential elections to ensure the victory of Aquino and Pangilinan.
“The Senate is bound to be lorded over, again, by a bunch of charlatans, incompetents, convicted stealers of government coffers, insensitive yet sweet-talkers, and unrepenting murderers if we do not deliver Kiko and Bam to victory in 2025,” the group stated.
The group highlighted Aquino and Pangilinan’s solid track records during their previous Senate stints, emphasizing their commitment to a just and equitable society. They urged the 15 million Robredo voters to replicate the energy and enthusiasm of the 2022 elections to encourage others to vote for Aquino and Pangilinan.
“Let us once again demonstrate our talent and vigor in persuading our fellow citizens. We have the strength of 15 million Filipinos to win Bam and Kiko. We will not give up on our dream for a better tomorrow,” the group added.
The iMk Leni statement was signed by Elmer Argaño, Secretary General, along with coordinators Ricky Mallari (Luzon), Nick Malazarte (Visayas), Fave Sevillano (Mindanao), Rogel Garcia (NCR), Amefah Bansao (BARMM), and Teddy Brul (Media).
Aquino championed the passage of vital laws during his time as senator, including the Free College Law and the Go Negosyo Act, which benefited youth, entrepreneurs, and the underprivileged.
Pangilinan, on the other hand, worked for the enactment of the Sagip Saka Act, which mandates direct purchases from accredited farmers and fisherfolk cooperatives by local and national government agencies.
This initiative aims to remove middlemen, allowing farmers and fishermen to earn higher incomes while making agricultural products more affordable for consumers.
