It doesn’t make sense to Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo why there is an accusation from Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson that she and Senator Franklin Drilon made indirect gestures and insinuations to blindside him during their last unity meeting.

In a somewhat annoyed tone, Vice President Leni Robredo said she would no longer respond to Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso’s potshots at her.

Even Senate President Vicente Sotto III does not think that the opposition will be able to unify candidates against administration bets for the 2022 elections.

Vice President Leni Robredo said on Thursday, October 14, that she is no longer keen on continuing unity talks with other presidential candidates, hinting that there are certain issues they cannot agree on.

The opposition’s move to unify candidates for the 2022 elections did not succeed because it was only a “scheme” to secure positions, Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said on Wednesday, October 13.

Before announcing her candidacy for president, Vice President Leni Robredo had two options in mind: seek a local post or retire from politics.

Opposition coalition 1Sambayan believes that Vice President Leni Robredo will make her announcement to join the presidential race before Friday, Oct. 8, stressing that its endorsement is a “major factor” to her decision.

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.

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson doubts that the opposition will be able to unite candidates for the 2022 national and local elections.

Despite the announcements of Senator Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Pacquiao and Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso to run for president, opposition coalition 1Sambayan on Sunday, September 26, said it will continue to hold consultative meetings with anti-administration forces as they hoped to forge a united opposition for the 2022 polls.

Vice President Leni Robredo has denied that a personality who recently announced his bid for the presidency in the upcoming 2022 elections asked for P1 billion to agree to run as her vice president in the polls.

Vice President Leni Robredo admitted that her quest to unify the anti-administration forces for the 2022 elections is not easy, saying it was like a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs.

Opposition coalition 1Sambayan asked for the public’s understanding as its selection process for its candidates in the 2022 elections continued, saying they are eyeing to make the announcement by September 30.
