Actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin led fellow stars who played "Darna" on TV and film in thanking presidential candidate Leni Robredo's supporters for a "good job" during the volunteer-driven campaign that ended Saturday night, two days before election day.

Locsin shared the stage with Iza Calzado and Jane de Leon, stars of ABS-CBN's upcoming "Darna" reboot. She also acknowledged two actresses supporting Robredo who also played the Filipina superheroine -- Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez.

"Pagkatapos ng eleksyon na to, manalo matalo tingnan niyo mga katabi nyo nakaka-proud," Locsin said.

"Good job. Good job! Lumaban ka. Tumindig ka sa katotohanan. Nilabanan mo ang fake news para matigil ang korapsyon. Tayo ang susi para makamit natin ang magandang kinabukasan," she said.

"Iparamdam natin ang ating kapangyarihan," she said.

Locsin acknowledged the many sacrifices of Robredo supporters, whom she said were not "hakot" or bused in.

"Pasasalamatan ko kayong lahat na nandidito. Yung mga nagpunta dito ng maaga sa rally. Nabilad ng araw, nagutom, naulanan. Mga nag-house-to-house, mga abonado for Leni, mga nagka-jowa dahil kay leni, sa mga nagpinta po ng mga murals, sa mga nagbigay ng campaign materials, sa mga gumawa ng pink tinapay, pink puto lahat na lang pink," she said.

"Sa lahat ng naglakad para sa kinabukasan nating,lahat saludo po ako sa inyo... I'm so proud of you guys," she said.

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray meanwhile reminded Robredo supporters to vote on May 9.
