Is VP Leni’s Reaction to Ely’s Tweet a Hint About Her Plans for the 2022 Elections?

Is VP Leni’s Reaction to Ely’s Tweet a Hint About Her Plans for the 2022 Elections?

Sep 28, 2021   •   Meryl Medel

After different factions have announced their candidacy plans in the upcoming elections, many have been waiting for their own bets to make a similar announcement. If we look at his recent tweets, it seems the same goes for Ely Buendia, the lead vocalist and principal songwriter of legendary rock band Eraserheads.

 

An Eraserheads reunion?!


During a brief Q&A on Twitter with his fans, a fan asked if there’s any hope for a reunion for the iconic band. Buendia kept his answer short, saying there *is* hope — if Vice President Leni Robredo runs for candidacy in the elections.

 

What do VP Leni and IVOS have in common?

The answer? According to Buendia, an Eraserheads reunion, it seems.

A few minutes after his tweet on VP Leni, Buendia quoted the same tweet again and gave a new answer, saying a reunion is possible if indie band IV of Spades or IVOS also holds a reunion.

 

A bit of context

For people who don’t know, despite being at the peak of their career as a band, Eraserheads broke up in 2002. There were various reasons cited in subsequent interviews from business matters to personal relationships (or lack thereof). But one thing’s for sure: fans were all heartbroken, and they’re still waiting for a reunion.

Meanwhile, IV of Spades is an indie band formerly made up of four members, until the departure of their former lead vocalist Unique Salonga in 2018. The remaining band members Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, and Badjao de Castro continued as a three-piece, but have entered hiatus since August 2020. IVOS fans are also waiting for a reunion.

 

Calling the attention of one VP Leni Robredo

Of course, after Buendia tweeted, it immediately caught the attention not just of Eraserheads fans, but also supporters of VP Leni. Many Twitter users tagged VP Leni’s official account under Buendia’s tweet, while others took a screenshot of the tweet and shared it on Facebook, tagging VP Leni’s accounts. This barrage of tags eventually found its way to VP Leni’s newsfeed when one of the administrative officers of the Naga City LGU, Allen Reondanga, tagged the VP.

 

So what was Leni’s reply?

It’s simple: just a bunch of emojis of a running woman. Si VP Leni, pilosopo din talaga minsan. Now our question is, did VP Leni confirm her candidacy or is she just going on a leisurely jog? We’ll only get our answer next month after the period for filing of candidacy closes.

 

Everyone’s excited

Eraserhead fans and VP Leni’s supporters alike were quick to express their excitement over the tweet and flooded it with replies and quote tweets. Some people even made a hashtag, while another user is planning to print and laminate Buendia’s tweet as a “receipt” of sorts.

 

Instant filing

Even Senator Kiko Pangilinan joined in on the fun and made a cheeky joke:

 

Are you a registered voter yet?

While we’re waiting for an Eraserheads reunion and the complete list of candidates for the elections, we’ll ask you this: have you registered as a voter? There’s only two days left before the end of the voter registration period. Make sure you can *actually* vote when the time comes.
