Owning her role as the unofficial president of the Philippines, Nadine Lustre on Monday endorsed Vice President Leni Robredo as her "successor" in a video that embraced the memes and controversies she faced over the years.
Wearing Robredo's campaign color pink, the actress jokingly referred to the video as a "presidential address", praising the vice president for serving "tirelessly, faithfully, and wholeheartedly".
"It's time for a new president," Lustre said in the video.
"We will make sure na qualified yung papalit sa akin," she said.
From referencing her viral photo buying a bottle of litson manok sauce in Siargao, to the undying pregnancy rumors thrown at her, Lustre said she faced it all but also wants peace of mind.
"Lahat naman tayo gusto ng tahimik na buhay ‘di ba? Kaya ako, tataya ako sa best person who can give us that," she added, copying Robredo's viral hair flip.

"Mga kababayan, this is president Nadine confidently saying: c'mon guys, it's 2022. At walang mas qualified na maging susunod na presidente kundi si president Leni Robredo," she said.
Lustre has been a vocal supporter of Robredo's presidential bid and even performed at the vice president's campaign rally in Pampanga earlier this month.
The multi-hyphenate is the latest celebrity to endorse Robredo following a slew of stars such as Piolo Pascual, beauty queens Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray, and loveteam Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.
