Thousands of Bicolanos flocked to the streets to witness the motorcade campaign of the FPJ Panday Bayanihan party-list as it passed through the towns of Mercedes, Daet, and Labo in Camarines Norte.
Riding in the lead convoy van were Brian Poe Llamanzares and Mark Lester Patron, both nominees of the FPJ Panday Bayanihan party-list. The convoy ended at the open grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation in Daet.
A grand rally was held there, where the candidates gave speeches, followed by a musical concert featuring performances by JRoa Band, Because, and Rock Steady.
An estimated 12,000 people attended and enjoyed the political campaign and concert.
Later on, Senator Grace Poe arrived and joined the grand rally held at the said campus. Brian Poe, the first nominee of the party-list, sincerely thanked the people of Daet for their warm welcome and support.
He also paid tribute to the appreciation shown by residents of every community they passed through during the motorcade.
The Bicolanos were energetic and did not mind the heat of the sun as they came out to welcome and recognize the presence of the FPJ Panday Bayanihan Party-list in Camarines Norte, Brian Poe added.
Senator Grace Poe thanked Governor Ricarte “Dong” Robledo Padilla of Camarines Norte and the local government officials for their support and assistance in managing and securing the motorcade and grand rally.
The senator called for unity among Filipinos, emphasizing that every elected official has a duty to serve the people, regardless of political affiliation.
She advised that elected legislators and officials from any party should set aside political colors—whether yellow, blue, red, or pink—and instead unite and focus on their duty to serve the nation.
