Rappler editor-at-large @maritesdvitug speaks to retired Supreme Court senior associate justice and 1Sambayan lead convenor Antonio Carpio on the future of the coalition's push for a unified opposition. #PHVote #WeDecide

WATCH #RapplerTalk:
@maritesdvitug Carpio: [Robredo] has until October 8 [to decide on her presidential run], that is the deadline she has set. But I think she might make a decision a few days earlier. #PHVote #WeDecide

WATCH #RapplerTalk:
@maritesdvitug Carpio: [Robredo] has said publicly, if she has to run to stop the Marcoses from coming back and to prevent another Duterte from taking over the government, she would be willing to run. That's the bottomline. #PHVote #WeDecide

Federation of Free Workers (FFW) president Sonny Matula says they "welcome the endorsement of 1Sambayan for VP Leni to run for president. We need to avoid trap of falling into old Machiavellian scheme of those in power. The simple trick of divide, win and conquer." | @lianbuan Image
@lianbuan Matula ran for the Senate in 2019 under a historic unified ticket of Labor Win. In that ticket was Leody de Guzman who has announced intent to run for president in 2022. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Matula: Nagkausap na kami ni Leody that we are committed to the 1Sambayan process since last year. We can't disregard our commitment with 1Sambayan by an instant or surprise decision of one group in our TU rank. | via @lianbuan
