SInabi ng retired magistrate na ang nominasyon ay base sa maraming pamantayan kabilang ang integrity, competence, track record, patriotism, vision for the country, at winnability.

“1Sambayan followed a rigorous process in reaching its decision. We consulted our local and foreign chapters, as well as our coalition partners who, together, reach 3 million members,” ayon kay Carpio.

Kaugnay nito, hindi pa nakakapagdesisyon si Robredo kung siya ba ay tatakbo sa pagka-pangulo sa susunod na taon.

Nauna na rin niyang sinabi na binibigyan pa niya ng oras ang kanyang sarili hanggang Oktubre 8, na kung saan ito ang huling araw ng paghahain ng Certificate of Candidacy (COC).
