Robredo led the proclamation rally of the opposition team in Camarines Sur last Feb. 8. Today she will also wrap her campaign saga in her home province.

Before staging her last provincial grand rally in her hometown in Naga City, Camarines Sur in the evening, Robredo together with running mate Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan and their senatorial slate will visit the provinces of Sorsogon and Albay to stage grand rallies.

The series of grand rallies in just a day is a conclusion of Robredo's three-month nationwide campaign activities.

In the morning, Robredo and her slate will grace the Sorsogon grand rally in Barangay Sirangan, Sorsogon City where they are expected to be welcomed by local government officials. Governor Chiz Escudero, according to the initial program issued by Robredo's camp, will only be showing up through a video message.

Another grand rally in the afternoon will take place in Sawangan Park in Legazpi City, Albay.

In the evening, a strong show of support from both the people of Camarines Sur and local officials are expected during the grand rally there.

A people's manifesto for both Robredo and Pangilinan will be presented before the candidates take the stage for their respective speeches.

A drone show will cap the event.
