Stars lent their support to Sen. Grace Poe at her miting de avance in Quiapo, Manila Saturday.

Among those spotted in the crowd were Superstar Nora Aunor, Lovi Poe, Ogie Alcasid, Carmina Villaruel and Director Carlito Siguion Reyna.

They joined thousands of the senator’s supporters who showed up at the final campaign rally of Partido Galing at Puso at Plaza Miranda.

Neil Llamanzares, Poe’s husband, admitted that the three-month campaign had been gruelling.

“For the chance for Grace to serve so many people, it was all worth it,” Llamanzares said.

Poe’s husband expressed confidence that the senator will emerge victorious on Monday.

“We’re gonna make it. We’re still gonna make it,” he said.

Cebu Rep. Ace Durano said the senator decided to hold her miting de avance in Quiapo “for sentimental reasons.”

Durano, Poe’s campaign manager, said they were able to secure a permit at

Quirino Grandstand in Manila and in Pangasinan but she picked Plaza Miranda which is just beside the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene or Quiapo Church.

Durano said Poe wanted to end her campaign in the place were she started it all.

Plaza Miranda was the venue when she ran for senator in 2013. It was also the place where she launched her presidential campaign on February 9.
