During a miting de avance in Makati on Saturday where Leni Robredo said "nothing is impossible", an estimated 780,000 attendees saw viral appearances from stars that were years in the making.
Singer-actress Anne Curtis broke her performance hiatus to sing the final verses of "Hawak Kamay" with Yeng Constantino. Her fellow "It's Showtime" host, Vice Ganda, sang the Robredo campaign anthem "Rosas" at the end of the Vice President's speech.
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray reminded netizens to cast their vote on May 9. "The government has the power to change our lives but we have the power to change the government," she said.
Curtis and Gray were among the top Twitter trends in the Philppines the morning after the rally with nearly 20,000 and 40,000 posts, respectively, early Sunday.
