Despite the rains, members of the Filipino community in Melbourne, Australia came out to join the growing number of people overseas supporting the presidential bid of Vice President Leni Robredo.
The Philippine Times (Australia) Facebook page shared a video of Robredo's supporters clad in pink while holding pink balloons, posters and placards, and the flags of the Philippines and Australia.
They were chanting their support for the Vice President as it rained in front of the Melbourne Museum.
"Ang tao, ang bayan ay para kay Leni (The people, the country are for Leni)," they said in unison as heard in the 25-second video.
The video taken from the "land down under" was uploaded early Saturday morning, Nov. 13 (Manila time).
Early this month, the camp of Vice President Leni Robredo expressed gratitude for the support the lady official has been getting for her bid for the presidency as the number of her supporters continues to swell.
Robredo's spokesman lawyer Barry Gutierrez made the statement as her supporters abroad joined the "revolution" by wearing pink and waving pink flags, which are fast becoming signature imageries of the vice president.
Pink motorcades and caravans were seen being held in her name in many parts of the world, including in Hong Kong, Austria, New York, and California, to name a few.
"We are grateful and inspired by the outpouring of support for VP Leni's candidacy from Filipinos from all walks of life, both in the Philippines and overseas," Gutierrez said.
"Nanawagan si VP Leni ng people's campaign, at ito ang nakikita natin ngayon. Nandito ang ating lakas. Nandito ang ating tagumpay (Vice President Robredo called for a people's campaign and this is what we're seeing now. This is where our strength and success lie)," he added.
Robredo herself has expressed her gratitude to the "kakampinks" abroad.
Her supporters are dubbed as kakampink, a play on the words "kakampi," a Filipino word that means ally, and "pink" the Vice President's campaign color.
