In her Instagram post, Yassi expressed her support for Luigi, calling him a "true public servant" and praising his dedication to the people. “I’ve seen firsthand your hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment you give to your people,” she wrote.
Luigi, who has been the governor of Camarines Sur since June 2022, is now vying for a congressional seat. Yassi’s public display of support was met with attention, but it was the playful comments from netizens that caused a stir, with some quipping that the photos gave off “prenup” vibes.
“Girl, ba’t naman ginawang prenup ni Yassi ‘yung pagboto???” one user joked, resharing Yassi’s photos on a different platform. The post received widespread attention, garnering 11,000 likes, 1,700 reposts, and 275,400 views.
In 2023, Yassi confirmed that she and Luigi were getting to know each other, and their relationship became public when she shared a video of them kissing in February 2024.
Reactions to Voting Venue and Public Infrastructure
Alongside the lighthearted comments about their photos, some online users also noted the condition of the public classroom where Yassi and Luigi cast their votes.
“Nakuha pang mag-photoshoot, e ‘yung kisame, ‘di man lang napaayos, yawa,” one X user commented, criticizing the state of the ceiling. Another added, “‘Yung binayad ni Luigi sa barbero niya, sana dinonate na lang para mapagawa ‘yung kisame,” using humor to highlight the issue.
The criticism was echoed by award-winning actor John Arcilla, who also cast his vote in the 2025 elections. He shared his frustration over the condition of his precinct’s facilities on Facebook, asking, “Asan ang budget sa EDUKASYON? Tapos boboto tayo ng mga corrupt, eh nakaharap mismo satin ang EBIDENSIYA NG MGA MALI NATING PAGPILI?”
Public schools, which often serve as polling centers in the Philippines due to their accessibility and available furnishings, have long been subject to scrutiny, with many voters raising concerns over their dilapidated state. According to the Omnibus Election Code, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) designates public buildings that meet its requirements as polling centers.
