HANDANG humalili si dating Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV kay Vice President Leni Robredo sakaling tumanggi ang huli bilang kandidato sa pagkapangulo ng opposition coalition 1SAMBAYAN sa 2022 elections.
Sa harap umano ng preparasyon ni Robredo sa pagtakbo bilang gobernador ng Camarines Sur, sinabi ni Trillanes sa 1SAMBAYAN na gawin siyang principal candidate imbes na alternate candidate sa pagkapangulo ng koalisyon.
“In view of VP Leni’s preparations to run for Governor of Camarines Sur in 2022, I, together with the Magdalo group, have decided to convey to the 1SAMBAYAN Coalition to change my status from being an alternate candidate (to VP Leni) to being a principal candidate for President,” ani Trillanes sa Twitter.
“Just to be clear, I am not dividing the opposition as there will only be one unified slate to be nominated by 1SAMBAYAN, and both VP Leni and myself have committed to support and campaign for its nominees,” ayon naman kay Trillanes sa hiwalay na Facebook post.
Pero buong-puso naman umanong uurong si Trillanes sakaling magbago ng desisyon si Robredo at magdesisyong tumakbo bilang pangulo.
Pero habang wala pang desisyon si Robredo, sinabi ni Trillanes na ihahanda na niya ang mga polisiya niya ukol sa Covid-19 crisis, economic recovery, West Philippine Sea, at iba.
“As I often stressed, the 2022 elections would be the most important elections in our nation’s history after 1986. Not only our Democracy is at stake, our very survival as a country is at stake, too,” dagdag niya. “(The Philippines will) not survive another six years of a Duterte rule.”
