The couple whose motorcycle Vice President Leni Robredo rode on to get to her campaign rally in Gen. Trías, Cavite, are now second-guessing their support for presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos.
During her Cavite visit, a photo of Robredo on a motorcycle went viral. It showed voters how simple and down-to-earth the vice president really is, though her critics disagreed.
Later, it was revealed that the driver was someone named Sherwin Descalso Abdon, a supporter of Bongbong Marcos.
His wife, Kristine, appeared to be elated and shared a photo of her husband’s outdated Yamaha Aerox.
However, the loyalists of Bongbong Marcos (LBM) accused the couple of being “Kakampinks” and were paid off by Robredo. The bashing they received from fellow LBM made was too much, leading them to question if they’d still vote for the dictator’s son.
“Basta tumulong lang po ang mister ko kay VP dahil kailangan nya at sadya naman po syang matulungin. Hindi po yun scripted. Wala pong bayad. Wala pong kahit na anong ipinangako na materyal na bagay o pera, kung hindi pasasalamat lang daw po kapag nasa stage na po si VP Leni,” Kristine wrote.
The couple realized that the Kakampinks were more considerate and understanding than the savage LBM.
“Ngayon po, dahil sa mga ginagawa po sa amin ng mga BBM Supporters, hindi po nila alam na sila pa po ang nagtutulak sa amin na tuluyan nang maging Kakampink. Tila nadurog po yung pagkaSolid namin dahil sa inyo.” she added.
Because of the backlash, the couple considered shifting their support to Robredo.
In a newly uploaded post, Kristine proved that they had been LBM since day one. They attended all Marcos rallies. But today, their votes may just go the other way.
