Piolo dazzles Zamboanga as he endorses #50 Ang Probinsyano Party-List

Movie hunk Piolo Pascual swept Zamboanguenos off their feet in a visit to the  Zamboanga peninsula on Friday (April 8, 2022) – his first campaign show for the  2022 elections.

Pascual, who joined Number 50 Ang Probinsyano Party-List led by Rep. Alfred  Delos Santos and Rep. Edward Delos Santos in their campaign sorties in Pagadian,  Zamboanga del Sur; Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay and Sergio Osmena, Zamboanga del  Norte, blew away the locals with his good looks and his signature charisma upon landing at Pagadian airport.

The actor is endorsing Ang Probinsyano, a party-list whose rural advancement  advocacy he firmly believes in.

At the sortie venues, the cheering crowds also witnessed Pascual’s singing  prowess, when he rendered big hits like “Mangarap Ka” and “Hawak Kamay” so  much so that at one point, a seemingly mesmerized fan in Pagadian City breached  security and ran to the stage to hug the celebrity.

“Nandito po ako ngayon para ikampanya ang boses ng mga probinsyanong tulad  ko sa Kongreso, ang mga totoong nagtatrabaho po para maiangat ang kalidad ng  buhay natin – ang Number 50 Ang Probinsyano Party-List (I am here to campaign 

for the voice of probinsyanos like me in Congress, the one which is genuinely  working to raise the quality of our lives – Number 50 Ang Probinsyano Party List),” Pascual told lively crowds and local executives who came in full force.

“Iboto lang natin ang nararapat (Let us vote for deserving candidates),” he added.

Pascual, who is one of Philippines’ most prominent and bankable movie  personalities but is known for his simplicity despite his stature, has been vocal in  his interviews that ever since he lived in the province, he has been loving the  lifestyle – which explains why he is very passionate in supporting programs that  will benefit his fellow probinsyanos. 

Number 50 Ang Probinsyano Party-List Rep. Alfred Delos Santos vowed to pursue  projects for the country’s geographically isolated areas.

“Kung kami po ay muling papalarin, sisiguraduhin po namin na patuloy na  maibibigay ang mga kinakailangang tulong ng mga malalayong probinsya (If we  will be given another chance, we will make sure that our country’s remote areas  will continue to be accorded the necessary assistance),” he said.

This was echoed by Rep. Edward Delos Santos, who reiterated their commitment  to facilitate rural progress.

“Kami po ay tatlong taon pa lang sa Kongreso. Pero sa maikling panahong ito,  kami po ay nakapagpagawa ng mga kalsada, tulay, mga multipurpose buildings  at evacuation centers sa buong bansa, bukod sa educational, livelihood, health at  food programs para sa ating mga kapwa probinsyano (We have been in Congress

for only three years. But in such short time, we have built roads, bridges,  multipurpose buildings and evacuation centers around the country, apart from  educational, livelihood, health and food programs for our fellow probinsyanos),”  the lawmaker said. 

Meanwhile, in Samar, local officials led by Gov. Reynolds Michael Tan and second  district Rep. Sharee Ann Tan also formally endorsed Number 50 Ang Probinsyano  Pary-List in a rally at the Catbalogan provincial capitol, graced by celebrity  supporter JC de Vera.

In his speech, Number 50 Ang Probinsyano Party-List third nominee Michael Chua  reiterated the collective effort needed in navigating a challenging recovery from  the pandemic.

“Recovery of rural areas is among the key starting points for our post-pandemic  comeback so rest assured that we will help enable these communities to go back  to their normal lives,” Chua said.
