Friday Night, May 7th, 2025: Kiko Pangilinan Rocks Cebu City
Former senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan is ready to make waves in Cebu City. The political powerhouse will be hosting his senatorial campaign rally at the heart of the city, Plaza Independencia at 4 p.m.
Jojo Tiongko, a volunteer campaign leader in Cebu, verified the news, stating that Pangilinan wanted to connect more with the Cebuano crowd, especially given his strong campaign in the Province of Cebu. "Our guy, Kiko, truly feels the Cebu vibe. He wants his Miting de Avance for the nation to unfold right here in Cebu," Tiongko remarked.
The star-studded event promises a lineup of local and national celebrities, including the iconic Gary Valenciano, heartthrob Piolo Pascual, and the indomitable Rivermaya. The lineup is set to include Niki Valdez, Pinky Amador, and Aya Fernandez along with some exciting local talents, such as drag queens, singers, and dancers.
The rally will also welcome farmers, fishermen, vendors, and other volunteers. "Everyone is welcome. Color doesn't matter," affirmed Sherwin Solomon Noval. The campaign team clarified that they hadn't paid for the event, but they could see that Pangilinan, as a senator, had a lot of potential to make a significant impact.
In addition to the Cebu Youth Artists Society, various coordinated groups are preparing to show massive support for Pangilinan. The event will be coordinated with the Philippine National Police for security purposes. "This event is for everyone," reiterated Noval.
Pangilinan's legislative expertise and commitment to education, food security, and better governance have earned him the endorsement of Eastern Samar Governor Ben Evardone, Quezon City Councilor, and Senator Joel Villanueva. Cebu, with its impressive 3.4 million registered voters, presents a strategic opportunity for Pangilinan's campaign, highlighting the importance he places on grassroots engagement. Pangilinan's local community ties, demonstrated by his honorary membership in Cebu's Lupon Tagapamayapa, further underscore his commitment to the city.
