'Robredo for president' fully supported by 1Sambayan; ‘The fight is on’
Opposition coalition 1Sambayan vowed full support for Vice President Leni Robredo's presidential bid in the 2022 elections, acknowledging it will be an uphill battle against the current administration's resources.
1Sambayan views Robredo's candidacy as a "light of hope" amidst the country's struggles with a failed pandemic response, a weakened economy, and loss of lives and livelihoods.
The coalition had previously endorsed Robredo and aims to unite the opposition's pro-democracy forces.
Vice President Robredo officially announced her presidential bid at her office, the Quezon City Reception House, and was set to file her Certificate of Candidacy.
Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and lawyer Chel Diokno have also committed to supporting Robredo's campaign.
