Ricci Rivero defended his girlfriend against bashers over political beliefs.
RICCI RIVERO — The basketball player defended his girlfriend Andrea Brillantes, who had been accused by some of his followers of imposing her political beliefs on him.
Andrea earlier admitted that she’s trying to convince her boyfriend to become a “Kakampink”. Also, she’s hoping that she could convince him to vote for Vice President Leni Robredo since the election is fast approaching.
“I am trying, ‘wag kayong mag-alala. I’m trying like ilang months na. He supports me supporting Leni [Robredo] at sobrang na-appreciate ko na ‘yun,” Andrea said.
As seen in his Instagram Stories last Tuesday, according to a report on ABS-CBN News, Andrea designed his car, phone case, tumbler, and ID lace with pink ribbons, pins, and stickers indicating her support for Robredo.
Unbothered by what Andrea did, Ricci said that he will support her. He then addressed his girlfriend’s bashers.
“Sa mga may chance magalit na ginawa niya ‘to hindi po dapat kasi ang sabi ko sa kanya kung ano ‘yung feel niya na pwede niya gawin, go lang. So if sa ‘kin okay lang, sana sa inyo din po! She’s just really trying to make me believe sa kung kanino siya naniniwala. Just saying,” Ricci said.

Ricci stressed that the point he’s trying to make when he posted about what Andrea did was to show how she’s “trying and doing something para sa paniniwala niya.”
He also explained that Andrea is just trying to raise more awareness among the people she interacts with on what she thinks is the best for the Philippines.
“I’m not the only person she’s trying to convert kasi ang gusto niya is mapaalam sa tao esp nasa paligid niya na kung sino ‘yung tingin niya best for our country is ‘yung sinusuportahan niya,” Ricci said.
Ricci and Andrea became a couple last April 9, after he asked her to be his girlfriend after a UP game at the Mall of Asia Arena.
