Robredo has said in the past that she is ready for the presidency but has also raised the option of running for vice president again. Carpio said 1Sambayan expects to meet with Robredo, who is currently in Bicol, to explain why they chose her. Carpio said these discussions would continue even after they have endorsed Robredo, but with the goal of them withdrawing in favor of the vice president. All we can do is to persuade because we are a very big coalition," Carpio said.
