Isa sa mga celebrity na nakiisa at nagpakita ng pagsuporta kina presidential candidate at Vice President Leni Robredo at vice presidential candidate at Senador Kiko Pangilinan, ay ang Kapamilya actor at pamangkin nitong Donny Pangilinan, sa naganap na campaign rally ng Leni-Kiko tandem sa Pasig City, na tinawag na 'PasigLaban'.
Bago iyon, nag-post muna ng 'story time' si Donny sa kaniyang Instagram kaugnay sa kaniyang tiyuhing si Senator Kiko, noong Marso 20, 2022. Itinuturing daw niya ito bilang ninong at pangalawang ama sa kaniya, bukod pa sa talaga namang tiyuhin niya ito dahil kapatid ito ng kaniyang tatay na si Anthony Pangilinan.
Content creator, 'di kinaya ugali ng dating Sang'gre sa concert ng BINI: 'Pipi na ba kayo?'
"Story time."
"Growing up, I’ve always looked up to you. Literally because you were the tallest among the titos and figuratively ever since your first campaign for senator. Many know you officially as a senator, and a VP candidate - but personally, to me, you’re someone more than that…you’re a Ninong, an uncle, and a second dad to me and many of my cousins."
"I will never forget the days wherein we’d pitch tents at your place and you’d just talk to us about life by the fire pit. We’d have smores while you shared your stories with Lolo and your sibs, or just random things about the world in general. Or how you would host the “Survivor Series” and have us cousins as the contestants."
"You would give us a budget at the start of the week, and personally join us to the palengke, grocery, or stores to buy food and things needed so we’d have enough energy for our tasks. You were the game master, host, and judge for every game."
Si Kiko rin daw ang unang 'employer' ni Donny.
"Tito Kiko was my first ever employer too. One summer, I think I was around 13 or 14, Tito texted me and some of my cousins asking if we wanted to work as farmers in his farm so that we could experience a fraction of the hard work that farmers go through on a daily basis. He himself arranged everything to have all of us picked up, to stay over at his place for 4 days, be woken up really early & to learn from the farmers what it meant to work—exhausted, hungry and sweaty."
"At the end of the week, we each received an envelope. It contained our salary for the 4 days - which was the minimum wage at that time. He wanted to teach us that with what we went through, this was the amount farmers usually get paid per day. We appreciated the farmers more and what they provide for our country."
"This is why I fully believe his heart for the farmers and the country - because I have personally seen this even from a very young age. Away from the big crowds, the cameras, and the media, I have seen his heart for people. Someone who is so humble, efficient, hardworking, shows up, and of course has zero corruption."
"It is with great pride and honor to call you my tito. You have my vote and of course my full support this coming May. Love you," saad pa ni Donny.
Matapos ang kaniyang pagpapasaya sa entablado sa naganap na campaign rally, napa-tweet si Donny na 'What a night' dahil umano sa ipinamalas na suporta ng mga Kakampink sa araw na iyon.
Sa kaniyang tweet at IG story ay ibinahagi niya ang litrato nila ni VP Leni.
Tanong naman ng marami, sino naman ang sinusuportahan ng katambal niyang si Belle Mariano?
