Marry Me, Marry You star Jake Ejercito on Tuesday, February 2, took pride in his achievement that he was able to add three more people to support the candidacy of incumbent Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo.
On his twitter, Ejercito wrote, “Just converted 3 folks to become kakampinks!
“It’s not impossible and surprisingly not even that difficult when you’re patient and more importantly, are armed with facts. Laban lang. Leni lang.”

While his father, the former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada, and his brother Jinggoy Estrada endorsed Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for the presidency, as he chose to support Robredo.
VP Robredo said in a previous interview that she is running to prevent another Marcos win the seat in Malacañang.

He also shared that same year how he joined a rally to protest the burial of the late president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. to the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
5 years ago today, I joined a rally to protest FEM at LNMB. Had to cover my face with a bandana for personal reasons. 5 years later, face still covered, but this time loudly and proudly ✊🏼 #tumindig pic.twitter.com/DbLMgWKeMz

Meanwhile, his expressiveness about political matters came after realizing that he has the right to voice his opinions.
“For me kasi, I’m just exercising my right to voice out my opinion. Yun naman ang okay sa democracy ‘di ba? Everyone has the right to say something, express their opinion,” Ejercito said during an exclusive interview with LH.
