Actor Jake Ejercito has formally endorsed the senatorial bids of former Senators Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan in the upcoming May elections.
In a post on his social media accounts, Jake expressed full support for the two aspirants, saying, “Para sa bawat hapag at sa kabataan, KIKO-BAM!”
He also shared images of the two candidates containing their numbers on the ballot—No. 5 for Aquino and No. 51 for Pangilinan.
In 2022, Ejercito participated in several rallies for Vice President Leni Robredo and took part in house-to-house campaigning in support of her presidential bid.
Jake joins the list of young showbiz personalities backing Bam’s candidacy, following endorsements from Anne Curtis, Janine Gutierrez, and Bea Binene.
Anne has repeatedly expressed her support for Aquino on her social media accounts. Most recently, Anne reposted Aquino’s call for voters’ support on her X (formerly Twitter) account, adding the caption “Number 5”—Aquino’s number on the ballot.
Earlier, Anne personally conveyed her support to Aquino during an unexpected encounter at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2.
Anne even posed for a photo with Aquino while flashing the No. 5 sign, reinforcing her endorsement. She also shared the photo on her Instagram account with the caption, “Bumped into someone I’m voting for! ”
Janine shared on her Instagram Story a video of a mother expressing gratitude to Senator Aquino for passing the Free College Law.
In the said video, a mother thanked Aquino for the law that enabled her child to earn a nursing degree from Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU).
“Nagpapasalamat po ako kay Senator Bam Aquino. Dahil po sa kanya, nakatapos po ang anak ko ng nursing,” the mother told Bam during his visit to the Balanga Public Market in Balanga, Bataan.
A long-time Bam supporter, Bea has actively participated in various house-to-house and market runs across the country, even accompanying Aquino’s wife, Timi, in a market run in Cebu City.
Bea also joined Bam when he filed his certificate of candidacy before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in October. She also posted a message of support for Bam’s senatorial bid on her Facebook page.
