Alex took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a screenshot of Bam\’s Nov. 9, 2017 press release on the Senate website highlighting the Free College Law.
“Bakit si Senator Bam Aquino? Libreng Tuition! Daig pa ang ayuda, kinabukasan ng inyong mga anak ang makikinabang! Pakisama po sa listahan niyo. Salamat,†wrote Alex.
Anne amplified the endorsement by sharing Alex\’s post with a resounding “Yes!!†as her caption, signaling her agreement that Bam deserves a Senate seat in the upcoming May elections.
Edu also expressed his support by joining the \”No. 5\” campaign for Bam on his social media account.
\”Sama-sama nating isulong ang Libreng Kolehiyo at Siguradong Trabaho para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. #5 sa Balota! AQUINO, BAM!,\” Edu said in his post.
Aside from her endorsement, actress Bea Binene has taken a more active role in Bam Aquino’s campaign, recently joining Bam\’s wife, Timi, in a house-to-house campaign in Cebu City to directly inform voters about the former Senator’s Free College Law and his other advocacies.
Veteran talent manager and entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz also threw his support behind Bam, declaring during his YouTube show, \”Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,\” that he’s one of his senatorial bets in the upcoming May elections.
