    The entertainment factor has become a vital part of the campaign series by presidential aspirant Leni Robredo. Most well-known personalities in the showbiz industry have shown support for her.

     

    That is why her campaign sorties are often considered concert rallies. In fact, most people who attend are only after their favorite celebrities and local artists. They want to watch their idols perform live on stage.

     

    Cross-over between Politics and Entertainment Industry

     

    The camp of Leni Robredo desires to draw more people to support their presidential bet. They are looking for a bang to increase her numbers on surveys and polls. This is because the star power of these artists has an impact on the crowd.

     

    Besides, they want to convert the die-hard supporters of the other presidential candidates for them to switch their loyalty to Robredo.

     

    Therefore, her camp organized concerts to make her campaign events more amusing and draw an immense crowd.

     

    Celebrities and artists in the country have guest appearances at these concert rallies. They perform in front of the audience to entertain them.

     

    However, would it be enough to convince the majority to vote for their candidate? Is it efficient to secure a  win in the elections?

     

    Despite the number of celebrities supporting Leni Robredo in her presidential bid, she remains second in most surveys.

     

    In fact, some noticed that attendees in her concert rallies were not really interested in her speech. Most of them went there to see their favorite stars in person instead.

     

    So, it is still the people who decide on the election day – with or without any endorsement from these big names in the entertainment industry.
