What could be the best birthday gift for Vice President Leni Robredo who is turning 57 years old on Saturday, April 23? Her eldest daughter Aika is inviting one million participants for the nationwide house-to-house campaign to present Robredo’s platform to voters.
“Sa Sabado naman po, pa-birthday natin kay Mama! Kaya ba natin sabay-sabay mag-house to house sa umaga? Tao sa tao, puso sa puso (On Saturday, this can be our birthday gift to Mama! Can we do house to house simultaneously in the morning? Person to person, heart to heart), let’s go!!,” Aika posted on Twitter.
Supporters and volunteers aim to gather one million participants for the house-to-house campaign in various parts of the country as a present for Robredo.
The house-to-house campaign in the morning will culminate in the various activities for the Vice President’s birthday celebration at Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City.
“Sa gabi naman (At night), birthday rally at (and) street party—invited po lahat ng kulay!! Kita kits (all colors are invited!! See you,” Aika added.
An Art Jam ng Bayan will be held at 2 p.m., followed by a People's Rally and Street Party along the stretch of Macapagal Avenue.
Participants are encouraged wear a shirt that represents their aspiration for the country – white for health, blue for employment, yellow for education, pink for prosperity in life, and red for food.
This is in line with the changing of Robredo’s campaign logo from a pink rose to a flower with the Philippine flag’s color of red and blue, and Robredo and Pangilinan’s pink and green.

She repeatedly said in past campaign sorties that she will be a “president of all colors.”
On a Facebook post, Robredo also invited people to her “party,” but she encouraged kakampinks to bring an “undecided friend” to her birthday celebration.
“Tuloy-tuloy ang sigla ng ating kampanya, kaya tara na (The energy of our campaign will continue, so let’s go)!,” she wrote.
