"This is People Power."
This was how Senator Leila de Lima described the campaign rallies of presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo, which have been drawing mammoth crowds.
Following the record-breaking attendance in Robredo's grand rally in Pasig City on Sunday, March 20, De Lima, who is seeking for another Senate seat, took to Twitter her thoughts on what she calls a "new phenomenon."
"The record rallies of the Leni-Kiko campaign are certainly a new phenomenon in our politics," De Lima said.
According to Pasig City Police, the crowd estimate reached over 90,000 people as of 6 p.m. that day. De Lima said it was "unprecedented."
"This is People Power. And just like in 1986, it is unstoppable," she said.
