Actress and vlogger Marjorie Barretto on Tuesday went from house to house to convince more Filipinos to vote for Vice President Leni Robredo in the May 9 presidential elections, believing that "personal interaction" matters.
Barretto said she was energized to do more after attending Robredo's campaign rally in Pasig City last March 20 with her family. The gathering is the biggest for the vice president so far, with an estimated attendance of 90,000, including other celebrities like Angel Locsin and Melai Cantiveros.

"There is a call and need to reach more people. This was the reason why I decided to do house-to-house yesterday with other volunteers because we want to convince more of our fellow Filipinos that VP Leni is the most qualified to lead our country," Barretto said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
"I had fun because people were open to listening and conversations. Personal interaction really is the key because you get to explain why VP Leni is the right candidate for president," she added.
Barretto urged the public to join them in their future house-to-house and market runs.
"Magsama-sama tayo kumatok sa mga bahay-bahay at palengke, makipag-usap sa mga botante at kumbinsihin sila na iboto si VP Leni. Let’s do this every day until May 9!" she added.
Barretto is not new to doing house-to-house campaigns, as she previously ran and was elected as councilor of the second district of Caloocan City from 2007 to 2013.
Robredo and her three daughters previously appeared in Barretto's vlog, where the vice president got to explain some of her office's programs and projects.
