Isidro is the girlfriend of one of the senatorial candidates and known critic of President Rodrigo Duterte, former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay.
Hilbay only got 2,699,871 votes according to the unofficial tally of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC).
Despite losing, Isidro thanked the supporters of her boyfriend for voting him.
“Friends have been sending me messages, calling me to say they voted for Pilo, or are on their way to vote for him. On my heart, Maraming Salamat,” she said.

She’s also one of the celebrities who complained about the slow update of COMELEC on the results of the election.
“Last update was around 6pm. Anong petsa na? Automated nga eh. “Transparency server” ang tawag di ba?” she said.
@COMELEC Ano na?
Last update was around 6pm. Anong petsa na? Automated nga eh.
“Transparency server” ang tawag di ba?

President Duterte mocked Hilbay and Isidro’s relationship before saying that his critic is only using the actress to convince the people that he’s a straight man.
Last year, Isidro called Duterte as the President who sold the country to China because of the chief executive’s friendliness towards Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“Let this be known. Rodrigo Duterte is the president who sold our country to China.” she tweeted.
Let this be known.
Rodrigo Duterte is the president who sold our country to China. https://t.co/sB3veX2Sg2
