On Tuesday, April 26, Musician-director Gab Valenciano was happy that children were now chanting his infamous rally call.
Valenciano previously became a target from bashers after his chant-and-dance went viral during a performance at a Leni-Kiko rally in Pampanga. Some supporters from a presidential bet even mocked his passionate support for Vice President Leni Robredo and Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.
However, a group of children proved that the slogan was not for mockery.
A netizen shared how kids were all shouting “Ang presidente, Leni Robredo! Bise presidente, Kiko Pangilinan!” with the same vibe and energy as Valenciano.

Meanwhile, his parents, OPM icon Gary Valenciano and his wife Angeli Pangilinan, warned bashers to “tread carefully” in bashing their son.
To trolls & insensitive netizens who are bashing my son @gabvalenciano for believing in the #LeniKiko tandem. It took years for him to bounce back from his mental breakdown some years back so I am warning u to please STOP YOUR CYBER BULLYING & bashing our son. God bless you. 🙏🏻💕

I stand with you in this hon. And son? No matter how much you’ve been bashed…rain or shine you also have inspired countless with your stand. Continue to reflect the character of those you stand for and let the bashers reflect theirs. I love you so much @gabvalenciano #LeniKiko https://t.co/Jl8kRtHIea

Gab was the representative of Gary V. in the previous Leni-Kiko sorties. He appeared at the Pasay grand rally on Saturday to show his support for the tandem for the first time.
