A first-timer at a Leni-Kiko rally, the Kapamilya actor delivered some of his father’s iconic songs in front of an ecstatic Kakampink crowd in Bataan on Tuesday, April 19.
“Elmo Magalona reclaiming his dad’s song at a #BataanIsPink rally (after it was used in a different rally last month),” shared twitter user, Jared.
The clip he tweeted featured the young Magalona engaging the mammoth crowd in Balanga City, Bataan with his energy-filled performance of Kaleidoscope world, popularized by his late father and Master Rapper, Francis ‘Kiko’ Magalona.

While his mother, Pia Magalona, has been an active supporter of Vice President Leni Robredo’s presidential bid and a frequent attendee in various Leni-Kiko people rallies, Elmo has never been very vocal about his presidential choice.
His presence at the Bataan rally saw 65,000 energetic Kakampinks, in attendance, for the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem.
Pia Magalona, shared her proud mother moment, on twitter.
“Happy to be with you at your first #LeniKiko2022 event @SuperElmo Para sa Bayan #AngatBuhayLahat #OlongapoIsPink #BataanIsPink” her caption reads.

Netizens similarly shared their awe and delight, seeing the young actor perform at a Leni-Kiko rally, for the first time.
“Naiyak po kami nung pinerform niya ang songs ni Francis M. We are huge fans and we also miss him. He would have been proud po of seeing his family fight for the Philippines (We cried when he performed his dad’s songs…),” user @yoopichan shared in a tweet.

Ayannn, on the other hand, noted how hyped up the crowd was, during his performance.
“HOYYY GRABEEE ANG HYPE NG CROWD NUNG PERFORMANCE NYA NA! EVERYONE IS SINGING AND WAVING THEIR FLAGS/LIGHTSTICKS (The crowd’s hype during his performance is on another level! Everyone is singing and waving their flags/lightsticks),” she shared.
Earlier that day, Magalona also performed his father’s songs at another Leni-Kiko rally in Olongapo City, Zambales.
