1Sambayan coalition endorses 7 senatorial bets of Robredo camp - BusinessWorld Online

Howard M. Calleja, one of the group’s convenors, said in a virtual forum that the pro-democracy coalition would endorse lawyer and author Alex L. Lacson, labor leader Jose Sonny G. Matula, human rights lawyer Jose Manuel “Chel” I. Diokno, Senators Leila M. de Lima and Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel, ex-senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV, and former House representative Teodoro “Teddy” B. Baguilat, Jr.

1Sambayan, formed by former government officials and members of groups from across the Philippine political spectrum, has yet to endorse the senatorial candidacy of lawyer and activist Neri J. Colmenares, who was among the group’s convenors before he filed his candidacy papers in October. The other senatorial bets under Ms. Robredo’s Senate slate are former vice president Jejomar C. Binay, Sr., Sorsogon Governor Francis Joseph “Chiz” G. Escudero, and Senators Richard J. Gordon, Emmanuel Joel Villanueva, and Juan Miguel “Migz” F. Zubiri.

Some members of the opposition movement earlier alleged that Makabayan had refused to publicly support the presidential candidacy of Ms. Robredo.
