Facebook page Make it Makati released parking spaces, road closures and other related advisories in preparation for the scheduled political event on Saturday, May 7.
The tandem of Vice President Leni Robredo and Sen. Kiko Pangilinan will hold their “miting de avance” along Ayala Avenue corner of Makati Avenue to conclude their campaign.
This was formally announced to their supporters, collectively called “kakampinks,” on Robredo’s Facebook page early this week.
“Magplano na kung saan pwede pumwesto, at magsama ng mga hindi pa nakapili ng kanilang kandidato para sa ating eleksyon! Tara na, ipanalo na natin ito!” the post reads.
The event is set to start at 5 p.m.
A colorful map of the venue was also attached to the post.
The map showed the areas where the medic and water stations are situated. There are also LED screens to be placed along the thoroughfare.
