To conduct ‘preferential survey’ on nominees-1Sambayan coalition

By J.Lo

“We prioritized protection of public… personal information like email address and/or mobile phone number were required to prevent multiple voting…but some forces that do not share ISambayan’s vision for good governance, will attempt to thwart every move,” opposition coalition 1Sambayan would be employing services of professional pollster to carry out its “preferential survey” on its nominees for the president and vice president positions ahead of 2022 elections. 

To recall, the broad coalition announced intended to open its Voting Portal for  Presidential and Vice-Presidential Nominees this July when it claimed its volunteer management application was hacked.

It did not disclose which external entity would be tapped for the survey. 

“As such, 1Sambayan has instead decided to engage services of  professional pollster to conduct a preferential survey on our Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees…;this, along with the other selection criteria will help in choosing our candidates.”

Thus far, the coalition’s initial slate disclosed earlier in June includes Vice President Leni Robredo, former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Free Legal Assistance Group chairman Chel Diokno.

Robredo has said on numerous occasions that nothing that she was still in the “decision-making process” but that she remained open to the idea of running for the country’s top post. 

It also includes some moderates from Congress, namely Sen. Grace Poe, and Deputy Speakers Bro. Eddie Villanueva and Vilma Santos-Recto.

“We thank all Filipinos who are pro-democracy for their continued support. Rest assured that we will march on,” 1Sambayan said.
