Panganay na anak nina Ninoy at Cory, inindorso si Bam Aquino bilang senador: Marami pa siyang maitutulong




Pormal nang inindorso ni Ballsy Aquino-Cruz – panganay na anak nina dating Senador Ninoy Aquino at dating Pangulong Cory Aquino at kapatid ni dating Pangulong Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III – ang kandidatura ng kanyang pinsan na si dating Senador at independent senatorial candidate Bam Aquino.

“Sa darating na halalan, muling humihingi ako ng tulong sa inyo. Iyong pagmamahal na ipinaramdam ninyo kay Ninoy, kay Cory, kay Noy at sa buong pamilya namin sa mahabang panahong magkakasama tayo, ang hiling ko po, sana iparamdam natin kay Bam,” wika ni Ballsy sa isang endorsement video.

“Marami pa siyang maitutulong sa ating lahat. Kaya sana po ibalik natin siya sa Senado. Number 5 sa balota, Senator Bam Aquino,” dagdag pa niya.

Ayon kay Ballsy, bata pa lang si Bam – na kilala sa kanilang pamilya bilang Bam-Bam– ay kasama na nila ito sa mga protesta para maibalik ang kalayaan ng bansa kasunod ng pagkamatay ni Ninoy.

“Anim na taong gulang siya noon, galing school, pupunta siya sa mga mini-caucus para humingi ng hustisya sa pagkamatay ni Dad,” wika ni Ballsy.

Tumulong din si Bam sa kampanya ni dating Pangulong Cory sa pagkapangulo.

Aniya, lumaki si Bam dala ang pagiging matulungin sa kapwa, na kanyang ipinagpatuloy bilang youth leader, social entrepreneur, hanggang maging senador.

“Nang maging senador siya noong pangulo si Noy, ang mahihirap at maliliit na negosyo ang kanilang tinutukan. At ipinaglaban niya na maging libre ang edukasyon para sa lahat ng Pilipino. Ngayon, libre na ang kolehiyo!” wika ni Ballsy.

Nagbalik kamakailan si Ballsy sa kanilang bayan sa Tarlac para ikampanya si Bam. Nag-palengke run siya sa Tarlac Public Market sa Tarlac City, kung saan nagpamigay siya ng tarpaulin, sticker at leaflet, at nakipag-usap sa mga tindera at mga namimili ukol sa mga nagawa ni Bam at mga gagawin pa kapag nakabalik sa Senado.

‘Passenger Seat’ singer lauds Bam Aquino and PH musicians




International singer Rockwell Ryan Ripperger (aka Stephen Speaks), the voice behind the hit song “Passenger Seat,” lauded former Senator and independent senatorial candidate Bam Aquino and a group of Filipino singers for their initiative to craft policies that will benefit musicians in the Philippines.

On his Facebook account, Rockwell Ryan shared an article about Bam and various Filipino musicians from the hiphop, urban, and rock music industries, commending their effort to push for reforms that can uplift and protect artists.

Artists who joined the meeting with Bam included DJ Medmessiah, Morobeats, Pio Balbuena, Chelsea Alley (formerly of Slapshock), and P-Pop girl group YARA.

“My music attorney Mark Piad is seen here with my friend Lean from Slapshock, meeting with former senator Bam Aquino to work on policies that benefit musicians in the Philippines,” said Rockwell Ryan.

“Very cool. I would love to see this sort of thing happening in the US. Keep up with the good work, fellas,” he added.

Bam responded with "thank you for sharing this, Stephen Speaks," to which the singer replied "Bam Aquino, you are very much welcome sir."

In his meeting with musicians, Bam committed to pushing for policies that will promote the welfare of musicians, ensuring that their livelihood and their works are protected.

“Magbabalangkas tayo ng mga polisiya upang matiyak ang kabuhayan ng ating mga musician at matiyak na protektado ang kanilang mga pinaghirapang obra sa pamamagitan ng pinalakas na intellectual property,” Bam told the musicians.

The musicians welcomed Bam's pronouncement and expressed willingness to support his candidacy in the upcoming May polls, hoping that he could serve as a voice for the protection and welfare of the music industry.

If elected, Bam plans to expand the free college law and ensure guaranteed jobs for Filipinos, including out-of-school youth.

Binasbasan ng Diyosa: Anne Curtis personally expresses support for Bam Aquino’s senatorial bid in chance meeting at NAIA




After expressing support via X (formerly Twitter), actress Anne Curtis finally had the opportunity to personally convey her backing for former Senator and independent senatorial candidate Bam Aquino during their chance encounter at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2.

The unexpected meeting allowed Anne to reaffirm her support for Bam and his advocacies, particularly his Free College Law. She also took a photo with Bam while flashing the No. 5 sign, solidifying her endorsement of his candidacy.





Anne also shared the photo on her Instagram account as part of her “So MARCH fun” carousel album, captioning it with “bumped into someone I'm voting for!”

This marks the third time that the actress has publicly expressed support for Bam Aquino's senatorial bid. Her first show of support came when she responded with a resounding "Yes!!" to stand-up comedian Alex Calleja's tweet urging voters to include Bam in their list of candidates for senator in the May elections.

She further reinforced her endorsement by retweeting the former Senator’s X post about his intention to uplift the lives and provide more opportunities for Filipino families.

In a Facebook post, Bam thanked Anne for her latest expression of support, saying “Masaya akong nakasalubong at nakakwentuhan ka nang saglit sa airport habang papunta sa kanya-kanyang mga flight natin! Your support means a lot to us at sa ipinaglalaban natin sa ating kampanya.”

“Ipapanalo natin ang laban na ito para sa madlang pipol at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino! Libreng Kolehiyo, Siguradong Trabaho! God bless you, Anne!” he added.

Aside from Anne, several celebrities have also expressed their support for Bam, including veteran actor Edu Manzano, Dingdong Dantes, rapper/actor/director/vlogger Pio Balbuena, Bea Binene, Janine Gutierrez, and veteran talent manager and entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz.
