1Sambayan is a colossal flop

It’s been two weeks since a convenor group calling itself 1Sambayan launched a movement to “unify” the opposition and field a common candidate to run against the administration in next year’s elections. But as I surfed the social media platforms, trying to get a feel on how Filipinos responded to it, I can already declare with absolute certainty that 1Sambayan is a colossal flop.

Even with mainstream media trying to boost its message and gain traction in the public consciousness, Filipinos have shown notning but utter lack of interest on what it is all about. It’s the same dog with a different collar, said a number of netizens. However the group may call itself, it’s an effort to breathe life into the candidacy of Leni Robredo for President.
