“Worst kind of black propaganda.”

Opposition coalition 1Sambayan will be deploying poll watchers in all election precincts nationwide to guard the sanctity of votes during the election day in May.

“Despite the pandemic, we will campaign hard as we have never campaigned before.”

Convenors of opposition coalition 1Sambayan believe that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will do the right thing and implement the law on the disqualification case against presidential aspirant former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Top legal experts in the country, as well as deans of different colleges of law, asked fellow lawyers and the public to elect human rights lawyer Jose Manuel ‘Chel’ Diokno to the Senate, espousing his respect for basic human rights and qualities that will uplift the Filipinos’ plight.

Senatorial aspirant and human rights lawyer Chel Diokno is resigned to the fact it will be the next administration that will take action to thwart China’s ownership claim over the West Philippine Sea (WPS).

Opposition coalition 1Sambayan is gearing up for a “different kind of campaign,” one that will be purely fought in television, radio, and social media, but retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said another battle looms in protecting presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo’s votes come election time.

If the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Supreme Court (SC) find former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s prior conviction of tax evasion as a crime of moral turpitude, that will put an end to his aspirations of returning the family name to Malacañang, former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said.

Retired Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has good things to say about Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso even if the latter didn’t end up getting 1Sambayan’s endorsement for the presidency in next year’s polls.

Retired Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has a strong hunch that Vice President Leni Robredo will accept 1Sambayan’s endorsement of her and run for the presidency in the May 2022 polls.

Retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said on Thursday, September 30, he was not willing to run for vice president in the 2022 elections because of his role in the opposition coalition 1Sambayan.

Despite no commitment yet from Vice President Leni Robredo, opposition coalition 1Sambayan on Thursday, September 30, said it’s a “remote possibility” that she will reject their endorsement for her to run as president in the May 2022 polls.
