Jolina backs ‘hardworking leader’ VP Leni
Actress/host/singer Jolina Magdangal believes Vice President Leni Robredo has what it takes to provide a better life and more opportunities for Filipinos if she becomes president.
In a video where she backed VP Leni’s candidacy for president, Jolina shared that she had to work at a young age to provide her family with a better life.
“Yung sa’kin? What a journey. All my life ko hong pinangarap at pinaghirapan ‘yun. Eight years old pa lang ako, nagtatrabaho na po ako. Lahat tayo gusto ng ginhawa. Hindi kailangang marangya ha!” the actress-singer said.
“Relate kayo? At dahil alam ko ang pakiramdam ng kumayod kahit sa napakamurang edad, mahalaga sa akin ang magdesisyon nang tama, kasama na ang pagkilatis ng mga kumakandidato tuwing eleksyon,” she added.
Jolina then lamented the lack of employment and other livelihood opportunities for Filipinos in the past years.
“Kung kami ngang mga artista eh nahirapan pa nitong nakaraang mga taon, ano pa kaya iyong mga kapwa nating Pilipino na mas maliliit at kapos sa oportunidad?” she pointed out.
But Jolina said things could make a turn for the better by choosing a hardworking leader like Leni in the May elections.
“Pwede nating baguhin ang lahat ng ito kung pipiliin natin ang tamang tao. At dahil alam ko ang kahalagahan ng maayos at ligtas na trabaho, doon ako sa marunong magtrabaho, at nakita natin na nagtatrabaho!” Jolina said in a video message where she expressed support for Leni’s candidacy.
“Yung naranasan na makisalamuha sa masa, yung kagaya nating nagbabanat ng buto, at kayang magtrabaho ng 18 hours per day,” she added.
With VP Leni at the helm, Filipinos are assured that she will serve and look after the welfare of ordinary people, according to Jolina.
“Dahil ang kailangan natin ngayon ay Pangulo na nakikita tayo, kasama na rito ang mga pangarap at paghihirap nating mga Pilipino,” the actress/ host said.
Jolina also said that Leni has concrete plans and programs for workers who need to work every day to make ends meet.
“Ang presidente ko, may resibo, plataporma at konkretong solusyon para sa ating mga kumakayod sa araw-araw,” she said. (Manila Bulletin Entertainment)
