Donny Pangilinan cried in pain after a fan pinched his cheek during the Leni-Kiko campaign rally in Pasig City.
On March 20, Leni-Kiko supporters swarmed in Pasig City to show their support for the election bid of their chosen politicians.
Donny was among the attendee in the campaign rally as he stood in place of his uncle, Senator Kiko Pangilinan. The latter skipped the rally because of the Vice Presidential debate of COMELEC that was held on the same day.
In a TikTok video posted by a netizen on March 20, Donny was seen struggling to reach his van as fans flocked around him.
One netizen then decided to pinch his cheeks which caused Donny to cry in pain.
