Rivero even wrote, “I’ll support you, supporting whoever love!”
He also defended Brillantes from her bashers, explaining that he’s okay with Brillantes’s efforts to try and change his presidential bet.
“Sa mga may chance magalit na ginawa niya ‘to. Hindi po dapat kasi ang sabi ko sa kanya kung ano yung feel niya na gawin, go lang. So if sa ’kin okay lang, sana sa inyo din po. She’s just trying to make me believe sa kung kanino siya naniniwala.”
He also addressed criticisms from netizens pointed against him.
“Sa mga nagagalit d’yan na I’m pretending that she converted me already, that’s not the point of me posting all these. I’m just saying na she’s trying and doing something para sa paniniwala niya.

Earlier, Brillantes tweeted that she had converted her driver and Lola to change their presidential candidate and become a Kakampink.
