Social media broke into a “pinksplosion” in October 2021 when the vice president announced her candidacy. Pinky Nepomuceno, campaigning for the team of Leni Robredo, explained that the color pink was chosen by the people.

Robredo is now an independent presidential candidate with a clear mission to unite the opposition and the dissenting voices against sitting President Rodrigo Duterte. Through pink, she is breaking away from her old affiliation with the former Liberal Party’s (LP) administration, which was characterized by the color yellow.
