A gushing Vice President Leni Robredo thanked actor Piolo Pascual on Tuesday for endorsing her in the May 9 presidential elections, saying it "really meant the world" as she faced a call from rival Isko Morenonto withdraw her candidacy.
Like a true fangirl, Robredo couldn't hide her excitement when she saw that Pascual was among the viewers of her live Facebook video.
"Oh my God si Piolo Pascual nanonood! Bigla ako na-conscious," Robredo said in the video, a snippet of which was later shared by the actor.

Robredo went on to greet Pascual, admitting that she's a "huge, huge fan".
"Hi, Piolo kung nanonood ka, na-conscious ako. Thank you very much for the support. Siguro nakarating na sa ’yo, even before, that I’m such a huge, huge fan. So ‘yung pag-declare mo ng support, it really meant the world. So maraming salamat,” Robredo said.
Pascual made headlines last week for endorsing Robredo for the presidency. Several other celebrities and personalities have also rallied behind Robredo including beauty queens Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray.
Robredo is trailing behind pre-election survey frontrunner Bongbong Marcos based on the March survey of Pulse Asia.
