IMUS, Cavite, Philippines – Bagumbayan presidential bet Sen. Richard Gordon and his running mate former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Bayani Fernando battles along the towns of Carmona, Bulihan, Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Paliparan and Bayan Luma in Cavite.

‘Tagle’ had joined Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in routing Spanish troops at the Battle of Imus in 1896, where Filipino troops stormed a Spanish garrison and took a cannon and 30 rifles. ‘Tagle’ later presented Aguinaldo with the saber of the captured garrison’s commander.

In the battlefield, Gordon said, “The start of our campaign is also a start towards change. We believe that Filipinos deserve clean and honest elections and they deserve truly competent and honest leaders who will fight corruption and lead them towards economic and political independence,”

“Kami ni Bayani will work hard. Hindi kami bihag ng popularidad (We are not bound by popularity). We are transformational leaders,” he added. Despite their limited funds, he is confident that he and Fernando will win in the May 10 polls.

Fernando distributed copies of his compact disc (CD) titled “May B.F. ka na ba (Do you have a B.F)?”

Fernando, one of the “Three Tenors” together with Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes and former senator Joey Lina said, “The release of the 5,000 CDs is part of the creative strategy of the “Transformers” team, which is intended to secure votes without spending too much”
