Ogie Alcasid went viral after posting a video about his presidential and vice presidential candidates for the 2022 election.

The singer-host stated his support for Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan. Ogie claims that he saw Kiko’s leadership talents directly during his high school and college years because they attended the same schools.

He went on to say that having someone like Kiko as her vice president will make it simpler for Leni to achieve her goals as president.

“Kagaya po ng aking asawa nais ko pong itaas ang kamay ni Kiko Pangilinan bilang bise presidente ng ating bayan. Maari niyo pong sabihin na, oo kaya mo lang ginagawa ‘yan dahil kaibigan mo si Kiko at si Sharon (Cuneta) ay kilala mo at ang kanyang buong pamilya ay kilala mo, kaya mo lang ginagawa yan” (“Like my wife, I want to raise the hand of Kiko Pangilinan as vice president of our town. You can say, yes, you can only do that because you know your friends Kiko and Sharon (Cuneta) and you know his whole family, that’s why you just do that.”) he stated.

“Well maari niyo pong sabihin ‘yon. Pero alam niyo po kilala ko si Kiko simula’t sapul. Matagal na pong panahon ang nakalipas, ako po ay grade school noon nasa Student Council ako at si Kiko naman ay nasa high school Student Council. Doon pa lang ay nagpakita na siya ng tunay na leadership. Hanggang nung nasa college na ako sa University of the Philippines, siya naman po ang aming naging presidente. Siya po ay nagtiyaga, nagsipag, nag-aral upang maging magaling na lider hanggang siya ay naging senador” (“Well you can say that. But you know I’ve known Kiko since the beginning. A long time ago, I was in grade school when I was on the Student Council and Kiko was on the high school Student Council. It was only then that he showed real leadership. Until I was in college at the University of the Philippines, he was our president. He persevered, worked hard, studied to be a good leader until he became a senator”) he continued.

“Ang masasabi ko sa kanya he’s God-fearing, he’s a family man, he’s humble, he’s always willing to serve. Gusto ko lang i-highlight ‘yung salitang humble. Kasi nitong mga nakaraang araw nakikita naman po natin na hinuhuli niya po ang kanyang sarili kung kaya’t ‘yung mga nakalimutan na tulad ng ating mga magsasaka ang siyang nagtaas ng kanyang kamay. ‘Yan po si Kiko. At nakakatuwa na unti-unting nakikilala ang kanyang tunay na pagkatao, ang kanyang tunay na karakter, ito pala” (“All I can tell him is he’s God-fearing, he’s a family man, he’s humble, he’s always willing to serve. I just want to highlight the word humble. Because in recent days we have been seeing that he is catching himself so those who have forgotten like our farmers are the ones who raised his hand. That’s Kiko. And it’s funny to gradually get to know his true identity, his true character, it turns out”) he said.

“Hindi po magagawa ni Leni ang lahat ng gusto niyang mga magagandang adhikain para sa ating bansa kung wala siyang kaagapay at kung walang taong maasahan niya at hindi siya pagtataksilan” (“Leni will not be able to do all the good things she wants for our country if she does not have a partner and if there is no one she can count on and she will not be betrayed”) he added.
