In terms of crowd estimates, Robredo’s grand rally at the University of the Eastern Philippines grounds was well-attended–with 10-times more people than that of Marcos Jr.
The crowd at political rallies is a strong indicator of a candidate’s popularity.
The recent mammoth political rallies of various presidential aspirants like Vice President Leni Robredo and Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.–have reflected on the opinion poll numbers.
Between Robredo and the Marcos Jr–the former seemed to have benefitted more even if Robredo’s recent large-scale political rallies have attracted more Filipinos to back her presidential campaign.
The stark difference between Marcos and Robredo, in their capacity to muster many people in one place, was never more evident when they both held their campaigns in the same venue in Catarman, Northern Samar.

Yesterday, April 8, was BBM-Sara’s turn to stake their claim to dominance on the province’s voters.
However, they failed to meet that goal as only 7,000 supporters showed up for the event. Comparing that to Robredo’s crowd, it dwarfed the Marcos-Duterte tandem.
During the rally, Marcos Jr, reiterated his presidential campaign’s core message, and that is unity. Present during the event, were senatoriables, Robin Padillia, Miguel Zubiri, Rodante Marcoleta, Jinggoy Estrada, and Harry Roque.
Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez also graced the event. Marcos’ s vice-presidentiable, Sara Duterte, however, missed the rally. She sent senatoriable Ronald de la Rosa, instead.
