Kiko Pangilinan’s campaign gets much-needed boost from several celebrities

April 29, 2025
Celebrities Anne Curtis, Janine Gutierrez, Jake Ejercito, and John Arcilla joined their fellow celebrities in backing the candidacy of former senator and senatorial candidate Kiko Pangilinan, who is fighting for a spot in the Top 12.


On their separate Instagram accounts, Curtis and Gutierrez reposted a video of Pangilinan, wherein the former senator admitted that it would be hard to win his senatorial bid without the support of his volunteers.


“Mga kababayan, sa puntong ito ng ating laban, ilang araw na lang tapos na ang kampanya at mag-e-eleksyon na at kung hindi tayo kikilos ngayon, baka hindi natin kayanin na ipanalo itong laban na ito,” he said in the video.


Curtis reposted the video reel and added “#51 po!!!,” referring to Pangilinan’s ballot number. She also added, “Let’s go Tito @kiko.pangilinan,” tagging Megastar Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan’s Instagram handle.


Gutierrez, for her part, opened up on her Instagram broadcast channel “channel.nine” about who she would vote for as senator this coming May 12, 2025.


She wrote, “happy sunday everyone (white heart emoji) guys lapit na ng elections!!! have you made your lists?” She then shared a video ad of Pangilinan, adding “my senator! #TapatAtTotoo.”


Ejercito then took to his social media accounts to express his support for the former senator.


“Para sa bawat hapag at sa kabataan, KIKO-BAM!,” his post read, followed by the images of Pangilinan and former senator Bam Aquino.


Arcilla, multi-awarded veteran actor, also shared that he would be voting for Pangilinan.


“Kumbinasyon ng mga Subok na at Bagong Malinis ang Record. Para sa mga Estudiyante mga Guro, Magsasaka, mangagawa, mga Barangay at Propesyonal, Para sa naghihirap na Bayan,” he wrote on X, accompanied by Pangilinan’s photo, as well as that of other senatorial candidates he supports.


Curtis, Gutierrez, Ejercito, and Arcilla also supported Pangilinan when he ran as vice president in 2022.
