It was kind of see-through. LOL.
We got onstage and it was a good place to be. Sitting with that awesome view. All those people! 500,000+ according to some media outlets. That, to me, is an amazing crowd. Here I am with my friends, the three emcees, Cocoi, Pat and Joseph:

The six candidates were endorsed: JV Estrada, Gringo Honasan, Koko Pimentel, Mitos Magsaysay, Sonny Trillanes and Cynthia Villar! Just 6? CFC FFL has three more! After that there was the candle lighting ceremony. And here we are:
And here they are:
Amazing. White vote. It’s real.
