The 1Sambayan coalition has nominated Vice President Leni Robredo as their presidential candidate for the 2022 elections.

Robredo expressed gratitude for the trust but stated that her decision should not be based on ambition alone.

1Sambayan convenor retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio believes Robredo will accept the nomination and "will rise to the challenge."

Carpio expects Robredo to file her certificate of candidacy in the coming days, dismissing speculation that she might be eyeing the gubernatorial seat in Camarines Sur.

If Robredo declines, 1Sambayan may choose between Manila Mayor Isko Moreno or former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

The coalition based their nomination on criteria including integrity, competence, track record, patriotism, vision for the country, and winnability.
