MANILA, Philippines – Presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo clinched the support of the influential De Venecia clan of Pangasinan, a crucial alliance in a province part of the so-called “Solid North” where votes are traditionally commanded by the Marcoses.
The De Venecia matriarch apparently has been a longtime mentor figure for Robredo from their days in the 16th Congress from 2013 to 2016. In the 2016 vice presidential race, she lost by a huge margin to the late dictator’s son Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in Pangasinan, who got 832,711 votes against Robredo’s 265,016 votes.latest poll by Pulse Asia Research, Inc

“VP Leni, aaminin ko po, hanggang sa kadulu-duluhan, bago pa ako tumuntong sa entablado, ako po ay punong-puno ng takot at pangamba. Pero awit nga ng ating kaibigan na si Ebe Dancel, sa pagkumpas po ng kamay ni VP Leni ang ating landas ay ginagabay,”“Siya po ang nag-iisang tiyak sa isang libong duda. At masaya po ako na sa wakas, nahanap na po natin si VP Leni. VP Leni, kitang-kita po ang dagat na kulay pink na nasa harap ninyo ngayon.
