"Pinklawan" is a derogatory term used by Marcos apologists and Duterte supporters against Filipinos who support the opposition. At the moment, Leni Robredo is the face of the opposition. Pink was the color used by Leni Robredo for her campaign for presidency for May 2022 elections. Robredo herself wants to achieve good governance and has decades worth of public service. Her stint as Vice President from 2016 to 2022 led the office to achieve ISO certification, and has unqualified audit opinion (no material misstatements per audit). Despite lack of support from President Rodrigo Duterte and having very limited budget, she managed to find ways like partnering with the private sector, helping the poor via her Angat Buhay program. Among her platform, should she win the presidency, is to sign Full Disclosure Bill (that she filed in 2013 when she was a congresswoman) that will force all levels of the government to be transparent, and the Anti-Dynasty Bill that will prevent families from having too much political power. Unfortunately, she was heavily targeted by fake news peddlers since she won over Marcos Jr. as VP last 2016 elections. Fake news favoring Marcos Jr and the Dutertes also increased. Fake news has become such a widespread problem in the Philippines, that in the May 2022 elections, Marcos Jr. won as President. It should be noted that his father, Ferdinand Marcos, was a dictator who led the Philippines to its ruin during his 20-year stay in power from 1960s to 1980s.

Pinklawan means an elite individual who supports democracy. A supporter of Leni Robredo who utilized her own resources. Pinklawans created a pink-revolution to show uncontional assistance and rallies for the campaign of Leni. Pinklawans contributed small amounts to big amounts of money depending on their capability. They will do everything to fight corruption, disinformation and fake news to maintain freedom. Pinklawans are professionals, artists, ethical individuals who love peace and orfer in the Philippines.

Is never an elite but rather the majority of Filipinos who seeks nothing but for the uplift the state of livelihood of all Filipinos in the D and E sector. It is an awareness that if the D and E sectors are eliminated and their lives are uplifted hence, they are no longer prone to dictation on who to vote and can no longer consider patronage politics/voting and can no longer be manipulated by most traditional political leaders.
Most “Pinklawan” volunteers are giving their share in contributing for the spread of disinformation campaign initiated by corrupt political officials for the benefit and or for the destruction of a targeted personality and or groups.
