Nadine Lustre: “Madam Leni, I got you.”
NADINE LUSTRE — The fan-proclaimed “President” recently shared a video explaining her endorsement for Vice President Leni Robredo in the presidential race.
“Mga kababayan, a message from your president. Charot lang. It’s time for a new president,” Nadine said in a video message as she addressed her fans behind a green screen Malacañang Palace.
Faced with controversy and various rumors, the actress likened her situation to how disinformation has saturated social media for the past six years. According to her, she’s no damsel in distress but also wanted peace of mind.
She then vouched for Robredo’s bravery to face critics while still serving the interest of the Filipino people.
“Don’t worry, mga kababayan. We will make sure na qualified ‘yung papalit sa akin. I know someone who went through worse,” Nadine said. “Bashers, intriga, fake news for the past six years but she stil served tirelessy, faithfully, wholeheartedly dahil alam niyang deserve nating mga Pilipino. Ibang klaseng husay at tibay just to drown out the noise.“
