1Sambayan adds Colmenares to Senate slate
MANILA, Philippines — Opposition coalition 1Sambayan formally unveiled Friday its Senate slate, adding Bayan Muna chairperson Neri Colmenares to the initial list of seven they announced last week.
Unlike their initial list, 1Sambayan’s additional pick largely differ from the remainder of the Senate slate of their presidential candidate, Vice President Leni Robredo.
Robredo has called her choices for senator “controversial,” as it included personalities seen to be neutral or even "enablers" of the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
1Sambayan said in October that it will "unconditionally" support the ticket of Robredo and her running mate, Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, but hinted that it may endorse a different set of senatorial candidates. — Xave Gregorio
