Filipino bands Moonstar88 and Imago have headlined the latest election campaign rally for Philippine vice president Leni Robredo.
The local acts made their appearance at the “People’s Rally” stage on March 12 at Echague, Isabela, showcasing their support for Robredo and her running mate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.
