Kyla, dubbed local showbiz’s “Queen of R&B,” performed for a crowd of some 70,000 on Friday, publicly declaring her support for presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo and her running mate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.

The “Hanggang Ngayon” hitmaker took the stage with her signature tunes at the Paglaum Stadium in Bacolod City, as one of the guest artists of the latest Robredo-Pangilinan campaign rally.

Clad in pink, Kyla called on voters to back the tandem in the May elections, in the latest high-profile endorsement of Robredo and Pangilinan from a showbiz personality.

Kyla was among the artists who physically attended the ticket’s rally for the first time, along with acclaimed actors Ronnie Lazaro, Joel Torre, and Agot Isidro.
