MANILA, Philippines — Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has formally declared his intention to run for president in the 2022 elections. He explained that he would “wholeheartedly step aside” in the event that Vice President Leni Robredo decides to run for president before 1SAMBAYAN picks its nominees in July. “But until then, we would work on the assumption that VP Leni would run for Governor of Camsur,” said Trillanes. Among the personalities being eyed by 1SAMBAYAN for the presidency are Robredo, Trillanes, Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, and Senators Nancy Binay and Grace Poe.
