1Sambayan to name presidential bet Sept 30

The opposition coalition 1Sambayan is set to announce its presidential bet for the 2022 elections on September 30, though they may go beyond this date.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio stated that potential nominees are being screened through surveys and an assessment of their track record, competence, integrity, patriotism, and vision.

Vice President Leni Robredo, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, and former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV have agreed to participate in the selection process.

1Sambayan is also including Senators Manny Pacquiao and Ping Lacson in their survey, even though they have already announced their candidacies.

The coalition emphasizes the importance of the 2022 elections for the country's democracy and survival.

Unity talks within the opposition are ongoing and may continue even after the announcement of the presidential candidate.
