Out of the six, only former senator Antonio Trillanes IV, (Magdalo) has announced his bid to run for the highest position in country but willing to give way should VP Leni Robredo run for the post.
RE 1sambayan nomination:
Isang malaking karangalan na maisama sa mga pagpipilian ng 1sambayan coalition pra sa pagka-presidente ng bansa. Nagtitiwala kami sa wisdom ng mga convenors ng 1sambayan at naniniwala kami na ito ang tanging vehicle tungo sa pgpanalo ng oposisyon sa 2022.— Sonny Trillanes IV (@TrillanesSonny) June 12, 2021
The remaining 5 has yet to officially announce their 2022 electoral bids, VP Leni Robredo did mention, in an article by Inquirer, that she is “open to running for President” and a decision would be reached and announced “at the right time.”
Maraming konsiderasyon ang isinasaalang alang pero siguradong mag dedesisyon ako sa tamang panahon. Sinisiguro ko sa lahat na ipapaalam ko kung may narating nang desisyon.
