Noong Marso 5, ayon kay Remulla, nakikita raw niya ang political tactics na “hakot” noong araw ay sinusubukang gawin ngayon umano ng isang politiko. Dito na rin niya sinabi na ang mga pumunta sa isang campaign rally sa General Trias noong Marso 4 ay binayaran ng tig-₱500.
“Sa siyudad ng Cavite, may politiko na nagbabayad ng limang daan sa bawat aattend,” ani Remulla.Hindi naman niya binanggit kung sinong kandidato ngunit noong Marso 4 nagsagawa ng grand rally sa General Trias Cavite ang tandem nina Vice President Leni Robredo at Senador Kiko Pangilinan na dinaluhan ng mahigit 45,000 na kakampinks o mga taga suporta nila.
Binanggit din ni Remulla na ang “ilang mga estudyante” na tila mga aktibista at “trained ng NDF (National Democratic Front)” ang umano’y kasama ng pink rally sa Cavite.
“Ang dami nilang mga estudyante, mukhang mga aktibista… Kaliwa, mga trained ng NDF (National Democratic Front)… May dalang mga bandera pero pink,” saad nito.
