Nangako ang opposition coalition 1Sambayan nitong Huwebes, Oktubre 7 na susuportahan nila si Vice President Leni Robredo sa 2022 presidential race nito kahit na magiging "uphill battle" ito laban sa kasalukuyang administrasyon.
Inanunsyo ni Robredo ang kanyang desisyon sa Quezon City Reception House.
“We in 1Sambayan stand firm behind VP Leni in her presidential bid in the 2022 national elections. It is a light of hope that comes at a time of great uncertainty: a country on its knees due to a failed pandemic response, a struggling economy, and a backdrop of the loss of lives and livelihood for the Filipino people,” ayon sa pahayag ng coalition.“The fight to regain our country’s democracy and integrity in governance starts now, and it will be an uphill battle. Make no mistake about it, we are up against the vast resources of the Duterte administration,” pagdidiinng 1Sambayan.

“If we remain divided, we will stand to lose more than just the elections: we will lose our country, our democracy and integrity in public service,” dagdag pa nito.
“But knowing that we are fighting for the survival of the country fuels our vigilance and our resolve to push for the presidency of VP Leni in next year’s elections,” ayon pa sa 1Sambayan.
“Unity will help us take Leni Robredo to the presidency for the sake of our country and our people."
