“Stand with Aika. Do it like Aika,” Ejercito tweeted, referring to the eldest daughter of Robredo, amid online attacks against her which the vice-president’s camp has branded as “malicious fabrication.”

Ejercito, 32, has been vocal of his support for Robredo and Pangilinan through social media, and was also seen attending the candidates’ Pasig rally in March. His house-to-house efforts mark his active role in Robredo’s presidential campaign — seen as a more pronounced delineation between his and some family members’ political leanings.

Former senator JV Ejercito — another Erap son, also a half-sibling of Jake — is similarly eyeing a Senate comeback. Like Jinggoy, JV has committed loyalty to the Marcos-Duterte tandem; but unlike his brother, is not part of the UniTeam senatorial lineup.

“It’s always had its perks, I can’t deny that. We grew up, we had bodyguards, and there’s always some sort of special treatment. I’m not going to lie na wala. But then again, there’s a lot of bashing that comes with it, it comes with the territory,” he previously told ABS-CBN News.
