It was kind of see-through. LOL.

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.
