Robredo camp asks for patience over 12th senatorial slate spot
Vice President Leni Robredo's camp is still deliberating on the final nominee for the 12th spot on her senatorial slate for the May 2022 elections.
Robredo and her running mate, Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, have already revealed 11 senatorial candidates.
Bayan Muna chairperson Neri Colmenares, who was among the considered nominees, stated that his non-inclusion was what the VP believed was best for her presidential bid.
However, Robredo clarified that discussions are ongoing regarding the inclusion of Colmenares or Federation of Free Workers President Sonny Matula.
Robredo's spokesman, Attorney Barry Gutierrez, asked supporters and various groups for patience as they finalize the lineup, emphasizing that the selection process is still ongoing and not yet decided.
Gutierrez acknowledged the strong sentiments of supporters and groups who want certain individuals to be included in Robredo's slate.
