The 28-year-old Ravena, who is currently playing for the Shiga Lakestars in the Japan B.League, also vouched for Senator Kiko Pangilinan in the vice presidential race.
“Kasama si Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, may pag-asa ang Pilipinas.”
(Together with Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, the Philippines has hope.)
Ravena is just among the many athletes who have come out to rally behind Robredo.
