“This Holy Week break, let us reflect and find enlightenment so that we will not be swayed by temptation and fakes, but side with the moral choice,” Pangilinan said on Wednesday, April 13.

The senator said that despite the attacks and fake news, his campaign with presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo will remain "focused on the truth and what is beneficial to the people, especially the poor."

“Hindi tayo papatol at malilihis ng landas dahil alam natin na pinaglalaban natin ang kabuhayan ng ating magsasaka, mangingisda at mga Pilipino na pasan-pasan pa rin ang krus ng kahirapan (We will not engage and lose path because we know that we are fighting for the livelihood of our farmers, fishers, and Filipinos who are still carrying the burdens of poverty),” Pangilinan said.

The vice-presidential aspirant said that the Robredo-Pangilinan team is "humbled by the overwhelming support" they are getting at this point of the campaign, including many Catholic lay organizations, which he said, buoys up his resolve to keep the fight until election day.

“Bukod sa milyon-milyon nating kababayan, nasa tabi natin ang iba’t ibang dioceses at Catholic lay organizations na gumagabay sa ating kampanya at tumataya sa atin para sa isang tapat at mahusay na gobyerno (Aside from the million Filipinos, different dioceses at Catholic lay organizations are in our side to guide us in our campaign and believe us for an honest and good governance),” Pangilinan said.

According to Pangilinan's camp, among the Catholic Church groups that have expressed support for the Team Robredo-Pangilinan (Tropa) include Council of the Laity in the diocese of Legazpi, Albay; Sangguniang Layko ng Diyosesis ng Romblon; Council of Laity of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila;Kapampangan Clergy; Couples for Christ International Council; Vincentian Family; Archdiocese of San Fernando, Pampanga; Clergy of the Infanta prelature; Lasallian Educators (Brothers and Partners); Sangguniang Laiko ng Apostoliko Bikaryato ng Calapan, Oriental Mindoro; Council of the Laity of the Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay; Missionaries of Jesus; Pari Madre Misyonero Para Kay Leni; and 1Kalookan Laity for Principled Politics (KLAPP).
