MANILA, April 24 (New Straits Times/ANN): Some 400,000 people clad in all shades of pink gathered on Saturday (April 23) for what was both a campaign and a birthday rally for Vice-President Leni Robredo in a show of force meant to demonstrate that she is very much in the running to become the next president of the Philippines.
Her supporters, who began assembling at noon, filled a sun-baked, 2-km stretch of an eight-lane highway just south of the capital, Manila.
