Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo showed their support for VP Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan.
On Tuesday, celebrity couple Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo announced their endorsement of the candidacies of Vice President Leni Robredo for president, and Senator Kiko Pangilinan for vice president, saying their choice is for the future of their kids.
In revealing their election bets, Jennylyn shared photos of her and Dennis with their newborn daughter, whom they welcomed last April 25.
Jennylyn went on to explain that as parents, she and Dennis see their duty as voters as crucial to the future of their kids. Aside from their baby girl, both Jennylyn and Dennis have a son from previous relationships.
Admitting that the events leading up to the 2022 elections have been “stressful” for her, Jennylyn said that she nonetheless feels compelled to take a stand, especially for her family.
She pointed out that the next president will be in position for 6 years — a period that will shape the lives of many Filipinos, including her and her kids.

Jennylyn went on to explain the criteria she and Dennis have considered in choosing the leaders they will vote for.
“May maayos kaya silang plataporma para sa edukasyon? May magsusulong kaya ng batas para mas maprotektahan ang kanyang karapatan bilang bata? May maayos ba silang programa sa kalusugan? Maging maayos kaya ang palakad nila sapat para maging ligtas ang kapaligiran? Kung maari lang gawing perfect ang mundo para sa anak natin, gagawin natin di ba? ‘Lam nyo yan mga mommies at even daddies. Pero, reality is, we can only do so much as parents,” Jennylyn said in an unedited caption of her Instagram post obtained by ABS-CBN News.
Given those factors, Jennylyn said that her “ultimate survivor” — a reference to her talent search win — is Vice President Leni Robredo for president. She also used the hashtag #LeniKikoUltimateTandem indicating their support for Robredo’s running mate.
Jennylyn concluded her statement by urging her fans, whom she calls “bessies”, to also vote for the Leni-Kiko ticket.
“Tara na bessies, sama sama nating ipanalo ang halalang ito para sa lahat ng Pilipino. Let’s go out, vote, and make the Leni-Kiko tandem our ultimate choice sa balota,” Jennylyn said.
Jennylyn and Dennis recently welcomed their first child together.
