WATCH: Vice President Leni Robredo bares details on Senator Panfilo Lacson's 2022 'unification' formula and explains why she decided to rejected it. Full story:
Vice President Leni Robredo resisted Senator Panfilo Lacson’s “unification” formula in the 2022 elections because it meant she would have to file for her certificate of candidacy knowing she may have to withdraw – a tactic she feared would lead her supporters on.
According to the Vice President, Lacson’s plan apparently would see all potential opposition bets filing their COCs. They would then agree on a specific time to observe who among themselves performed the best in surveys. The rest of the candidates would then have to withdraw their candidacies in favor of the “best” contender.
"It goes without saying, I respect her decision to resist my suggestion and whatever reasons she has for declining. I admit that while there could be some complications attendant to my suggestion, nevertheless, it was a sincere and selfless offer in support of her equally sincere efforts to have one common candidate against whoever will be the administration’s bet," Lacson said in a statement.
